Hi, Rodolpho and All :) I've repeatedly lost sound myself the last year so'ish. For me, it started when there was a change in Pulseaudio's relationship in Xfce4 somehow. Sound would occasionally work on new installs (debootstrap) but would then fail soon after. I THINK those fails came immediately after mass day-to-day upgrades in Sid Unstable. I've done all kinds of playing with anything I could find sound related via "apt-cache search" and repeatedly had fail after fail after... heartbreaking... fail. About a month ago, I HAD to get it working to process some important video sound bytes so I really dug in about trying to find something. I simultaneously came across aumix via "apt-cache search" while aumix was receiving a couple mentions on this list in sound related threads. I installed "aumix", and it worked.... once. And only once. The first time the interface came up, it had one column that was turned off. I bumped it up and miraculously had sound. On the next reboot, no sound over and over. Because aumix worked that one time when nothing had for pushing close to a year, I went back in with aumix as a search keyword. I found aumix-gtk and so tried installing that, *too*.. That still brings up an extremely small interface, but it has more columns. ONE OF THOSE COLUMNS... is something called Pcm2. That one is ALWAYS at zero after reboots. I bump that over to 100.... and have sound every time now. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! Yayhoo!!!!! Maybe addressing that "Pcm2" setting in the other various favored sound [controllers] will slow down sound problems? If anyone uses aumix and additionally also installs that aumix-gtk, the terminal command is still just the "aumix". Its developers are my #Heros! #TrueStory! It's CRUCIAL that my sound work right now, and that was the avenue that worked to date... on this particular... for now anyway. Hope that helps someone.. *grin* Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with crochet hook *
