Finally some peace and quiet around here without having to here all that noise
blaring from your speakers ((-: Joke aside, you didn't post the specs
of your sound
card. I would check pulseaudio and make sure you belong to the audio group.
Confirm that sound does _not_ work for root, then we know you have a sound
problem as opposed to a config issue. I generally do new installs as opposed to
upgrades, that way I know I have a working system I can fall back on.
Plus it also
has the advantage that you can compare configs. Of course, if you are tight for
space, that wouldn't help.

That setting should be there somewhere 'cause I know I tried it but no longer
use it since I have less than 8 'windows' open on 8 desktops. Persevere and
you will be rewarded. Your best bet is to right click on the taskbar and check
all the settings. I'm not sure whether the new control centre has it in there.
