  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! In your screenshot you are using Windows XP, but in your description you say you are using Lubuntu 16.04. If you are using Windows XP, this question is not about Ubuntu. Please flag your question to be closed or to be migrated to SuperUser. Please do not cross-post unless you delete your question. If you are using Lubuntu 16.04 than please upload a screenshot of that. – fosslinux Jun 29 '16 at 20:27
  • @CollDue96 It appears to be a Windows XP theme for Lubuntu; it's not quite the same as actual Windows XP, the start menu has a Tux penguin, and there are shortcuts on the desktop to Lubuntu Software Center and LXTerminal – Nick Weinberg Jun 29 '16 at 20:30
  • Ok whoops. I should have looked more carefully. At least I didn't flag it. :D – fosslinux Jun 29 '16 at 20:34
  • I know its kind of confusing but its lubuntu 16.04 with windows xp theme – mgomes Jun 29 '16 at 20:38
  • The error message in your screenshot suggests you run 'start-pulseaudio-x11' – RCF Jun 29 '16 at 21:11
  • I tried that in terminal but im getting this error Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused – mgomes Jun 29 '16 at 21:22

I was finally able to solve my problem by following this thread

How to reinstall PulseAudio (Ubuntu 12.04)

I used all the commands listed on the first answer and it worked and for people who have trouble with this could possibly find the solution.
