Open up BASH and do the following...
mousecrash$ cd /etc/init.d/
mousecrash$ sudo pkill -9 pulseaudio
password:
mousecrash$ pulseaudio
mousecrash$
That's it... If that didin't make any sense to you just reboot your computer ;)
Cheers!

Ubuntu Sound Server Restart
Occasionally in Ubuntu Linux, some application hogs the pulseaudio sound server causing other programs like vlc and mplayer to not be able to actually play sound. There is a simple fix for this problem and it can be found at the command prompt level.
Open up BASH and do the following...
mousecrash$ cd /etc/init.d/
mousecrash$ sudo pkill -9 pulseaudio
password:
mousecrash$ pulseaudio
mousecrash$
That's it... If that didin't make any sense to you just reboot your computer ;)
Cheers!
