#Linux #tech tip of the day. I noticed on our #Debian desktop PC that after switching graphical desktop users a few times the sound server would eventually stop working properly. Devices would be listed but selecting one made no difference, the volume slider always just said "Line out". It has something to do with the fact that the first user created during install is a member of the "audio" group. To fix the issue, just remove that and any other users from the "audio" group.
