Since the start of this week I have been experiencing a glitch in the multimedia on my Samsung R518 laptop. I have 2 problems:

  1. Videos in every player are speeded up around 2 or 4 times (including youtube.com (both HTML5 and flash variants), any other video on the web and videos on my laptop played by Totem Media Player), exception is VLC player, but 2nd problem does concern even that.
  2. There is no sound - simple as that (with or without headphones plugged in).

These all problems are now, and has not seen before, I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 after it was possible, and from start I didn't have anything from this - it just started in this week. I haven't even putted new software in. I have more or less solved the question (kind of) - I just logged in as a guest - and it all works, but when I make a new user - it does not.

Please help me. Some stats below:

If you can play the videos with another User Account, it must be a personal setting. If it is a setting of vlc for example, you may reset the settings by deleting the

~/.vlc/

completely and start it again. Does this work? If not, i have no idea which system settings may cause such a problem.
