Audio out on Kubuntu 20.04 (work around / not a fix)

[Michael L]

Hello NLUG,

The audio stopped working on a 78 year old (non sudo) computer hater's Kubuntu user account.  I switched to the admin login and audio worked fine.  So I added another (non sudo) user account for which the audio also worked fine and switched her over to the new login.

I could not find what the problem was.  It wasn't muted browser pages or any other muted audio settings that I could find.  If anyone has insight, please let me know.

Thank you, 

 M  

PS  another Remmina screen size question next ...

Shooting the dark, did the user's group memberships get changed so they can't access the audio device? That would explain why root and a new user with the default configuration works.

Very interesting.  If that's not the cause, it leads me to understanding something very important.  Thank you.

Ultimately, the only thing that you need to know about it is it it’s almost certainly a permissions issue. At least I put you on the right road find out what it is.
