After a good run since i last posted about it [ https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread....7#pid42367 ], tonight out of the blue my Tower suffered another spontaneous freeze. As "usual" when this occurs everything was frozen so that again REISUB didn't work, so a hard reset was needed [same as the looooong history in that link].
However, tonight's problem has a new symptom. I have rebooted now many times, including to older kernels, but 100% of the boots since the freeze-reset tonight, there is no audio.
Not only is there no sound, but the systray widget is broken, showing only a small sideways arrow, & a blank popup when clicked. Reinstalling plasma-widget-volumewin7mixer didn't help.
As for the no-sound itself, i have reinstalled pulseaudio with Synaptic, but that has not helped.
When i run:
When i run:
At the time of tonight's freeze & reset, i was live-streaming internet music with Clementine, & audio was perfectly normal. Prior to that i had been watching videos in my browser, & again sound was normal.
Unless it is only coincidence, i'm tempted to assume that something fatal occurred to pulseaudio during the streaming that caused the freeze & broke the sound... but i don't understand why none of the repairs i tried have helped.
Ideas pls? How can i get my sound back?
