I tried installing pulseaudio by following Texstar post in the forum:
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,83740.0.htmlAfter completing every step, I rebooted my laptop. Installed from synaptic following packages; pavucontrol, padman and padevchooser.
Pavucontrol didn’t open so I went to terminal and typed pavucontrol. I got error message and typed pulseaudio. No luck. Searched in the forum for pavucontrol and fined no solution to my problem. So I went to synaptic typed task-pulseaudio-remove and marked it for installation. After that I removed pavucontrol, padman and padevchooser. Configure your computer → Hardware-> Sound Configure I saw if Glitch Free Mode and Pulseaudio was unchecked. It was. So I rebooted my laptop again. This time the sound was so terrible low even if it supposed to be at max. So how can I get my sound working like before? I dont know if it is PCLinuxOS bug or KDE. I had no problem with pulseaudio in other distros. I hope I can get the sound issue solved. I also tried alsaconf and no luck there either.

I have also installed alsamixer GUI without any luck fixing the sound.
