| 1276416 | 2012-05-21 06:50:00 | Just remembered one thing. Try right clicking on the KMix sound icon in the taskbar on the right and choose restore then go to settings/Audio setup and check out the device preference page.That seems to have sorted it. Once I got to the device preferences, almost everything was at the minimum. I played with the settings and eventually it came right. It's the usual story - once you know where to look, it is easy. Thanks again. I might start another thread just about the boot menu thing. |

| 1276417 | 2012-05-21 07:01:00 | Are you using pulse audio? If so Do you have pavucontol installed? Makes life much easier as you can select which cards to output to.I did have pulse audio enabled (by default). I installed pavucintrol. When I try to execute it, I get the message "connection failed - connection refused." However it is no biggie, as everything seems to be working anyway, as per earlier post. Thanks. |

However I have set up Thunderbird and got your reply that way rather than having to go back into Windows, so I'm making progress. Using the PC button go to More Applications/Terminals/Root Terminal or you can edit a menu item so that it will use root permission. There is a way of making Thunderbird in Windows and PCLinuxOS use the same profile so that you see the same in both. |

| 1276423 | 2012-05-21 11:23:00 | Thanks. I'll check that profile thing out. | Tony (4941) | ||

No. Just make sure your Win partition is mounted somewhere (usually /media/windows or such), and read/write for your user, and point Tbird to the Win profile. It would also pay to check for any differences in the respective Tbird versions. |
