[olug] sound?

[Kelly Williams]

I had the same problem last night when I mint 13 on my Dell D610. It 
worked fine until I added mate desktop to it. Pulse was saying there was 
the card and it was getting sound, I could see the meter flashing but 
nothing was coming out of the speakers and I tried using the head phones 
and that didn't work either. This is what worked for me try it
