Comment 13 for bug 1093492

Mmmm...., gents, I was looking at the last screenshot of my output settings and had a hunch. I decided to move the output volume to about 75% and still had no sound. I moved it to about 80% and still no sound. I moved it to 100% and bingo, there was sound! Why would there be no sound at levels lower than 100%, I have no idea. I actually tried it twice, and got the same result on both occasions.

I then went back and removed the ";" from the "required-any" lines, restarted pulse audio, and I had sound. So it seems that the problem was with the audio levels being less than at maximum. That doesn't make any sense to me seeing that at that level the sound was so loud that I had to quickly mute it.
Maybe something is a bit buggy but at least I have sound on the laptop.

Thank to both of you for taking the time to help me try to resolve this.
