Without issue, and today, for no apparent reason, I've lost all sound.
I can't hear modp, smplayer, vlc, youtube, nothing.
I checked alsamixer and pavucontrol, nothing is muted.

Someone is going to ask, so:
yes, the speakers are plugged in and appropriately powered.
I am right now listening to music from my phone using the same
speakers, plugged into the phone.
They were plugged into the mobo's onboard audio before I unplugged
them from there and plugged them into my phone.
Nothing has changed on the hardware since I was last listening to sound.
I haven't made any relevant/significant software changes either.
I've also tried to plug some earbuds into the on-board audio, and can't
hear anything through those, either. so the problem can't be the
speakers.


It happens to me that after a reboot the output of PulseAudio is being
redirected to a digital output, which I cannot hear.  Unplugging and
plugging again my speakers makes the thing discover again the analog
output and solves the issue, but I see you have already plugged and
unplugged several speakers.

I would nevertheless inspect pavucontrol to see which output is active.

looks like
Built-in Audio Analog Stereo Line Out (plugged in)
Here's a screen-shot of pavucontrol:

what you can see is line above "advanced"moving up and down (okay, really right and left) with the doom metal I have playing (but can't hear).

It should be known that I still had sound yesterday after installing ripperx, for hours, right up to 11 pm last night (looks like I had installed it around 12pmish, 11 hours earlier), but when I logged in at 6am this morning I had no sound


Thanks,
Tony
