Hi Tim,
I have lost sound output on my PC.
Have you tried various ways of playing sound? speaker-test(1)?
A very basic one might work compared to a movie in Firefox, for example,
or give better diagnostics when it doesn't.
I have tried the speaker-test but there is no sound and no error message
when I try, I have tried various applications the get sound but none of
them produce sound. It is almost as if somebody has muted the sound.
I have rebooted the PC and loaded a different distro and that can play
music with issue so there is no hardware fault with the soundcard or the
speakers.
I renamed /home/mit/.config/pulse so that upon reboot a new pulse config
file is produced but that made no difference. Pulse is being loaded and
is running
According to /etc/pulse/client.conf it post entries into syslog, well
other than a pulse audio stop and start, I saw no error anywhere.
The only related audio package that was updated (that I can see) was
gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly:amd64 (1.14.1-1, 1.14.1-1+b1)
Find out the difference between 1.14.1-1 and 1.14.1-1+b1?
It looks to me like some kind of re-build without changing the source,
otherwise it would be 1.14.1-2?
Try downgrading it? https://wiki.debian.org/RollbackUpdate
Cheers, Ralph.
Off to have a look at GST now.
There are a few other people who have reported the issue some on the
Debian forum and some on the SolydX forum, no solutions have been found
though.
regards
Tim
