VIDEO ISSUE

To get proper GUI display and recordings playback, look-up your monitor
resolution.  Then make sure that the /boot/config.txt video settings
match the monitor resolution and frequency (Hz).

Next make sure that the *Setup -> Appearance* settings for *GUI width
(pixels)* and *GUI height (pixels)* match these values.

I added an example to the tutorial.  See:

AUDIO ISSUE

Is the volume set to maximum?

You can check by running:

   alsamixer


Does audio work correctly from the command line?

You can test with:

   speaker-test -c2 -twav

If sound is working correctly you should hear the following words:

   front left ... front right ... front left ....

Use *Ctrl+C* to break out of speaker-test.
