Thanks, Todd. It took me until now to respond because between Tuesday and today sound was working. This morning it wasn't. Here's the relevant output; it looks the same to me: <snip> when sound works: jlasman@linux-7r8f:~$ lsof | grep dsp pulseaudi 3982 jlasman mem REG 253,0 77672 3414688 /usr/lib64/libspeexdsp.so.1.5.0 alsa-sink 3982 3996 jlasman mem REG 253,0 77672 3414688 /usr/lib64/libspeexdsp.so.1.5.0 alsa-sour 3982 3998 jlasman mem REG 253,0 77672 3414688 /usr/lib64/libspeexdsp.so.1.5.0 jlasman@linux-7r8f:~$ when sound doesn't work: jlasman@linux-7r8f:~$ lsof | grep dsp pulseaudi 3982 jlasman mem REG 253,0 77672 3414688 /usr/lib64/libspeexdsp.so.1.5.0 alsa-sink 3982 3996 jlasman mem REG 253,0 77672 3414688 /usr/lib64/libspeexdsp.so.1.5.0 alsa-sour 3982 3998 jlasman mem REG 253,0 77672 3414688 /usr/lib64/libspeexdsp.so.1.5.0 jlasman@linux-7r8f:~$ </snip> D don't see a difference. Is there something else I should specifically be looking for? Thanks.
