I happened to come on this thread and finally learned that purging pulseaudio from one's system seems to be the way to get sound working back again in some situations. And, guess what? This is exactly the problem I was having for weeks now;..:-) As sound stuff is kind of black magic for me, I had no idea where to investigate. Random tests, and attempts to look at various log files weren't leading anywhere and I was left with no sound...:-) Until I came up on this thread and just "apt-get purge pulseaudio" and then, voilà, after a reboot, sound is working again in my KDE environment. But, doh, I feel like a Windows user doing some voodoo black magic, and fixing things by rebooting. Not really comfortable. So, well, I can certaily file a bug report about pulseaudio but I'm not really sure if I can be really helpful in investigating it....because it will mostly be the kind of bug report I hate, as a maintainer : no real information and just "things don't work" stuff. So, before doing so: will that be helpful? Indeed, I don't really see anything in pulseaudio bugs about this so I assume it can be helpful but I prefer checking first whether I can make a more helpful bug report...:-)
