2 Ubuntu fixes: Blue Video & Skipping Sound

Although Ubuntu has been very stable for me -it never crashed- several subsystems often turn silly. This may be because i have something mis-configured :( .. but i know some fixes which have been getting me by.

Video in media players turns blue (blue tint)
Quick fix: System > Administration > NVIDIA X Server Settings > X Screen 0 > X Server XVideo Settings >> Adjust the Hue to "0"


Sound starts to "skip", actually i cant hear anything besides "dun-dun-dun-dun..."

Quick fix: In terminal type "sudo alsa force-reload"
