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
I have been able to get sound out of VLC media player by selecting Audio
from the menu bar and then selecting Audio Device and then from the list
select
HDA INTEL PCH ALC887-VD Analog Default Audio Device
I can then play audio or video track and I can hear the sound
I still have nothing in any web browser
If I try speaker-test -c 2 I still get nothing
If I try
aplay -l

I know Pulse audio is running and if I kill it in Task manager it
automatically restarts
