I couldn't figure out how to do this (no man page for pulseaudio-utils), but eventually found something in th lxmenu for Audio->Pulseaudio Volume Contol, and found that analog output was muted. I Unmuted it and was startled by the glorious sound of YOB (doom metal), I had inadvertently left playing earlier in an instance of mocp I'd totally forgotten in a minimized terminal.Anthony Baldwin wrote:On 09/10/2016 12:35 PM, Tony Baldwin wrote:Suddenly I have no sound. Dunno why. I did just two days ago, when I was happily listening to Opeth. Pulseaudio is running: ps aux | grep pulseaudio tony 2340 0.5 0.0 370052 6788 ?

I plugged the speakers into a phone and they worked fine. Also, this machine has a 2nd hdd with win7 and I booted that and sound worked fine, so there appears to be no problem with the sound card or the speakers. Still stumped ./tonyI would check if pulseaudio has the proper input/output devices correctly configured (and unmuted)
Also check in alsamixer if something relevant is muted. This "Suddenly I have no sound" means what exactly: listening and it stopped or you rebooted and it was not there anymore? regards
