Hi Alan, |
19 |
|

I have the same hardware and pulseaudio configuration as you. (I guess |
21 |
it's quite stock standard). |
22 |
|
23 |
I've had the odd occasion where I "loose" sound after using the |
24 |
keyboard's shortcut key for mute. A little one liner got it back: |
25 |
|
26 |
amixer -D pulse set Master 1+ unmute |
27 |
|
28 |
This assumes you're using alsa as the backend for pulseaudio. |
29 |
|
30 |
Other possibilities are missing modules, kernel compiled with missing |
31 |
options, missing packages for audio subsystem pulseaudio communicates |
32 |
with. It's hard to be specific without exact errors. |
33 |
|
34 |
Hope that helps. |
