Can't change volume in Ubuntu 14.04
I had the same issue. I was able to fix it using the following steps:
- Removed ~/.config/pulse directory.
Started Pulse Audio.
rm -rf ~/.config/pulse pulseaudio --start
Incase if its still showing errors you will have to reinstall pulse audio and equalizer.
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-equalizer
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer
pulseaudio --start

This may be a possible dublicate...
I can't change my volume anymore using Fn+Left/Right on the Keyboard (MSI GS70) But all other Fn Keys work
In the sound settings there are no speakers or headphones listed, so I can't adjust volume through ubuntu settings...
The strange thing is, I have sound. But it's set too 100% since startup. That's basically no problem but it's really annoying to get shocked by the Ubuntu startup sound everytime I use my laptop
My Laptop has a 5.1 sorround sound card (I think the sound card is Creative X-Fi Sound Blaster) with two speakers and one internal microphone
So, I noticed, pulseaudio isn't loaded, whenever I run the command "pulseaudio" I get:
keksarmee@KeksLinux:~$ pulseaudio E: [pulseaudio] module-ladspa-sink.c: Master sink not found E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-ladspa-sink" (argument:"sink_name=ladspa_output.mbeq_1197.mbeq master=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo plugin=mbeq_1197 label=mbeq control=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0"): initialization failed. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Konnte Daemon nicht initialisieren.
The last line is German and means "Couldn't initialize Daemon"
"pulseaudio --start" returns:
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Start des Daemons fehlgeschlagen.
Which means "couldn't start Daemon"
I tried
sudo apt-get install -reinstall alsa alsa-base pulseaudio
and I tried to add pulseaudio to autostart list, but it still doesn't workThe pulseaudio volume application displays:
And pulse/client.conf is this:

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks, Keks
