Greetings audio guru's;
All sound Except the new mail beep from kmail, vanished with the first
reboot after 20 days uptime while dinking around with what was sold to
me as a new 2Tb Toshiba drive, but which did not turn out to be a
sealed box. I do not think its related.
Pursuant to someones suggestions, I installed pavuctl and pavumeter this
morning early, but according to synaptic, that is the extent of the pulse
install, no other pulse stuff is seen as installed by synaptic. And of
coarse, they don't work, no server.
But it has just worked through 4 or 5 other reboots 20 days+ prior to this one.
Do we have any tracing tools that would allow me to start at the usual
iceweasal audio output and see how its all linked & maybe discover
where the stream of data is getting lost?
From an lspci -vv output, this I believe is the motherboard hardware.
There is also an eVga card with an unbonded HDMI output. It checks in
in an lspci output as Device 1302
But it uses the same snd-hda-intel module as the motherboard one uses,
so I cannot blacklist it by the usual means

KMix shows two cards, both ID'd as hda-intel, one shows all the usual
culprits, while the 2nd one is blank. No way to firmly tell which is which.
The keyboard volume control still goes thru all the motions, while the
speakers, except for the kmail driven new mail beep, are mute.
Ideas please?
Thanks & Cheers, Gene Heskett
