What are you using for videos, vlc?

VLC, but it was also doing it with Gxine and "videos." Videos and Gxine seem to have corrected themselves. It also plays DVD upside down.

Try moving/removing the vlcrc file

Code: Select all

mv ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc.bak

BINGO!

Now, IF I can just get the sound working, I will have a winner!

Probably same deal as vlcrc. Zap your pulseaudio config files.

Code: Select all

sudo killall pulseaudio
rm -r ~/.pulse*
rm -r  ~/.config/pulse/*

then reboot.

That did nothing. I may not have entered the commands correctly, I did them both line by line and all at once.

What did work was:

Code: Select all

alsactl restore

I get this error code:

Code: Select all

alsactl: state_lock:125: file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state lock error: File exists
alsactl: load_state:1683: Cannot open /var/lib/alsa/asound.state for reading: File exists

Hardware is initialized using a generic method

But Bang! Sound works! But when I reboot, it goes away again!

Have you looked at volume and mute settings with pavucontrol? Also look into alsamixer. In the latter, you may need to type F6 and select the proper hardware for all the volume sliders to appear.

Pavucontrol is set to 100% and not muted.

I have no program called alsamixer when I search in the Dash.
