Everything was working fine until I opened the Sound settings to see why my Youtube audio was only static. I was able to watch streaming video on Hulu without problem. It's a very old system, but a brand new sound card. Now, no sound at all, not testing, not at startup, nothing. I forced an alsa reload, but nothing changed.
