Analog Line Out for me as well, so that part could be covered.
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
Are you by chance using etckeeper? You could inspect configuration
changes with it.
never even heard of it, had to do aptitude search and show to learn what
it is even.
I suppose it's probably too late (as far as diagnosing this current
