1 Hello list,
2
3 The USB sound dongle on this workstation has stopped working, but only for me.
4 The system settings Audio setup window detects it but no sound is heard (I
5 nearly said none appears :) . It worked a week ago, and it still works if I
6 log in as a new user. Windows 10 has no trouble with it either. Nothing has
7 changed in the kernel setup, and all the right modules are loaded.

9 Could I have something poisonous in $HOME? I'm awfully tired of creating new
10 user accounts for myself. And this reminds me of the problem with Konsole not
11 shutting down properly:
12 1. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=819459 and
13 2. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445862 .

15 A comment on [1] suggested something in my $HOME was to blame, but nothing
16 came of it.

18 (The motherboard chip failed months ago, so I bought a UGreen USB dongle.
19 System settings detects that, and the audio output of my GPU, as well as the
20 dongle.)
