Re: Not Resolved: no sound again!

Show all headers | View raw

This is the third time within the space of only two weeks, where one day 
I'm happily listening to music on my machine one day. then I wake up the 
next and there's no sound!
Neither pavucontrol or alsamixer show anything muted.
Last it seems a reboot  (after successfully trying and succeeding to 
listen with a livecd system) resolved the issue.
I can't help but think some module is being shut off overnight, but 
comes back on at boot. Any ideas?
