no sound after pulseaudio update
I did a system update a few days ago and now my sound won't work. The only packages that might of affected sound that were updated (that I noticed) were a few kernel updates and pulseaudio. Is there a way to downgrade pulseaudio? Or do I have to do something else?

thanks for the guide. Here's a problem I ran into:
Quote:
michael@michael-laptop:/etc/modprobe.d$ sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
I even made a copy of oss-compat with the file name oss-compat.conf and it still gives the same error.
BTW I'm running pulse audio version 0.9.14ubuntu13

Here is another help page. I know you had it working before but when you upgraded you might have lost something from the previous settings.
I appologize for not being overly knowledgable. I am a google junky

Try killing the process "pulseaudio" and then playing an audio/video file. If that works, disable pulseaudio permanently.
