I have a problem with my sound suddenly stopping working (I'm on Mint 18.2 based on xenial, asus x555l). The work around is to reboot.
Another work around without rebooting: disable pulseaudio, first by turning off autorespawn https://askubuntu.com/questions/8425/how-to- temporarily-disable-pulseaudio and then pulseaudio --kill Then sudo alsa reload alsactl init aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav This responsed (with no audio playback): ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1029:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:722: audio open error: No such file or directory However, this works: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav --device=plughw:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 Then "pulseaudio --start" and my audio is back and working! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341890 Title: [X550LA, Realtek ALC3236, Mic, Internal] No sound at all To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1341890/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
