I did the "sudo dpkg -i *,deb" after cd to the directory containing the downloaded 3.7 pulseaudio deb files. All installed with warnings about downgrading from 3.8 to 3.7. However, there was now a No Entry sign on the 'systray'. So I ran Synaptic and there were 3 'missing' packages, namely: libpulse-dev_8.0-0ubuntu3.7_amd64.debg libpulse-mainloop-glib0_8.0-0ubuntu3.7_amd64.deb pulseaudio-module-bluetooth_8.0-0ubuntu3.7_amd64.deb So I downloaded them and installed them Ok. And No Entry sign went away. However, audio problems are still there as before.
