I found out why ~/.config/pulse was not recreated under my daughter's login. Her ~/home/ directory had a .pulse directory and a .pulse-cookie file (from an even older installation?). Once I deleted them starting pulseaudio properly recreated ~/.config/pulse in my daughter's ~/home/ directory. Unfortunately, still no sound for her. My wife and I are both getting sound under our logins. On 07/09/2017 05:52 AM, Wellington Terumi Uemura wrote: What should I be looking for in the logs? I did not see anything that looked relevant in dmesg. On 07/09/2017 11:33 AM, Wilko Fokken
