Mic Problem in ubuntu 10.04 for Root user
I am using ubuntu 10.04 in my laptop. I created a user when installing ubuntu . The sound and Mic are working fine for that user. I enabled the root by using the following command
To enable root user. Login with existing user then goto Terminal.
sudo passwd root
Now the root user is enabled. I logged in with root user. I seen the sound is not working for me. The volume icon is always in "mute" state
What is the Error shown ...?
When i click the "Sound Preference" in volume button or System -->
Preference --> Sound it always shows a Warning message "Waiting for
Sound system to respond"
How to fix mic problem for root user ..?
Goto System --> Preference --> Startup Applications .

Name: pulseaudio
Command : /usr/bin/pulseaudio
Comment: To start pulseaudio deamon
Then logout and login again. For min i restarted my system. Now you can see the Volume control icon in unmute state and you can edit your sound preference now.
