Since an upgrade on 2017-03-28 my debian Jessie system is continuously
dropping my soundcard such that mpd and mpv have no sound at all, but,
at this time qmmp and mplayer2 both have sound and work as they should.
My sound card is an on-board chip here -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7330000 irq 50
1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xf7080000 irq 17
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
When I start or reboot this computer I do 'sudo alsactl init' to get
sound working, and then run alsamixer, do 'F6' to choose my soundcard
and choose option 0 in above list. Then I run mpd and can listen to my
music and online radio. But, now the sound card is being dropped so I
get zero sound from mpd and/or mpv when I want to watch a saved TV
programme.
On the 28th these were the programmes that were upgraded and installed -

I have since removed virtualbox and Vivaldi-stable thinking that they
were the cause of the problem, but its made no difference.
The only way I have found to regain the sound for mpd/mpv is to reboot,
but its now beginning to happen several times a day and its impractical
to keep rebooting.
How can I get sound continuously with mpd and mpv without the card being
seemingly dropped please?
Thanks
Sharon.
