l just upgraded Ubuntu to 18.04 (from 16.04) and I am not a happy camper. My sound was all screwed up (no longer 5.1 only responding to Left and Right channels) and when trying to fix it (PulseAudio) I seemed to have totally screwed up my sound so that not only does 5.1 not work but not even stereo. No sound. not a peep. I cant get it to work anymore. Since I dont like 18.04 I really just want to do something which works. I am a beginner at linux, basically I can issue commands if I need to, but that's about it.
I have a NUC from 2015 / 64 bit with 8gb ram (I believe my setup is in the signature). Anyway, is there an easy no bones about it setup ? Metal Chris's HTPC Lubuntu setup seems to look good. other suggestions?
use: I basically just watch up to 1080p video on it. I have an HDMI cable leaving my NUC to the TV and exiting the TV with HDMI to my stereo.
LibreElec seemed like one needs to be more than a beginner to tackle that. ... or is it idiotproof?
