No sound (After I removed Pulseaudio)
-
When I open a video file it says "Audio output failed: The audio device "default" could not be used: No such file or directory."
-
When Im trying to record sound in Audacity it says "Error opening recording device. Error code 0 success.
How it started:
I tried to tune my mic, heard that "pulseaudio" can be used for it. I Installed pulseaudio and it flooded my applications menu with 121 (yes I actually counted them) garbage spam programs with "LSP" on their icons. Also pulseaudio messed up my mic so from now on I had tiny skips all over my recordings (as a bonus, keep the change sir)
Its been a long HELL to find out how to remove it and I wasted like a half of my work day, but I finally removed pulseaudio and its 121 applications. This helped:
sudo apt remove lsp-plugins ; sudo apt autoremove
However, after restarting, I see that I have no sound at all, its almost like if pulseaudio said: "you want to remove me? ok you can go to hell, no sound for you".
I know I did something wrong, and maybe some audio-card files were removed too? please help.
