    Sound option gone from System Config

    Hi Everyone,

    Making normal use of Kubuntu - essentially for word processing and internet browsing - the sound stopped working even when I turned the volume up or down.

    Looking to solve the problem, following recommendations from sites on the internet, I did something that worsened the problem and made the audio option disappear completely from the System Configuration menu.

    I used the following commands on the command line:​

    pulseaudio --start
    sudo apt install pavucontrol
    alsamixer
    sudo alsa force-reload
    pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D
    alsactl restore
    sudo apt remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
    sudo apt install alsa-base pulseaudio
    pacmd set-sink-input-mute application_index false
    pasuspender /bin/true
    timidity -iA -Os​

    When I use the inxi -SMA command, it returns the following information:​

    CPU: dual core Intel Core i5-7200U (-MT MCP-)
    speed/min/max: 1035/400/3100 MHz Kernel: 5.15.0-52-generic x86_64 Up: 16h 29m

    changi@Andrea:~$ inxi -SMA

    Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.15.0-52-generic running: yes
    Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.48 running: yes​

    Please advise me on how to get around this problem created by apparently misuse which has created a problem of such size.​

    Kind regards,
