This certainly. It's also relatively easy to mute a Mozilla window
and not notice - Ctrl-M should mute/unmute - or clicking on the 
speaker icon in the appropriate tab.

[I say this as someone who was significantly caught out by this
recently - it's too easy to miss and spend 1/2 hour trying to 
work out what's gone wrong. In my case, it was a video call
where the other participants know me well enough not to make
fun of my efforts :) ]

All the very best,

Andy

My problem is all of a sudden I have no sound at all.  I have checked
all my settings and they have not changed at all so I should have had
sound.  There is none no matter what I have done. I need help

Do you have any *.wav or *.mp3 files on your computer?  If so, try 
double-clicking on one.  Hopefully, a music player app will open the 
file and start playing it.



Alternatively, does your computer have a CD/DVD/BD drive?  If so, insert 
a music CD.  Hopefully, a music player app will open and play the CD. 
Or, you might get a chooser dialog asking what to do; try to find a 
choice that plays the CD.



My guess is that some sound system feature got misconfigured, such as a 
mixer setting.  On Xfce, I have a panel with an icon that looks like a 
speaker.  If I left click on it, I get some mute buttons and sliders I 
can adjust.  If I right click and choose Properties, I get a tabbed 
pop-up window with more settings.  Looking in the menu (e.g. Start 
button) -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control, a tabbed app starts 
with lots of settings.  I expect Gnome has similar features.  See what 
you can find.  Look for icons with an "X" on them, that might mean mute. 
 Click on them to turn muting off.



If the above ideas fail, do you know how to issue root commands in a 
terminal?

One more thing. Recently, I plugged wired earbuds into my system
for the first time in months, and they were just plain not detected.
None of the GUI tools recognized that an output device existed.

What I had to do was run Alsamixer, press F6, select my sound card,
(not HDMI audio or Bluetooth audio, both of which had existed), and
then force it to be output and not input. The default Bullseye audio
system seems to be prone to failure to detect audio devices.



I have the same problem, no souud  using bookworm and gnome. I have 
tried to days and have no solution.


One detail I can add. I too plugged earbud. They register as headphones 
(unplugged) as output and Rear Microphone (plugged in) as input.
