Here's a screen-shot of pavucontrol:

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 problem anyway) to install it now...
perhaps I should install it for future uses.
I hthink I may try and boot to a live system and see what happens as Lisi suggested, I'm going to assume some change affected by aptitude activity in the past 24 hours is most likely to blame, and really hope it's not my mobo's on-board audio.
I have a spare video card in my desk, but no audio card.
Going through all the hassle of finding one compatible with my hardware and system is a little more involved then fixing a software issue. I think just about any PCI sound card should work with Debian, and my hardware, though, unless I'm mistaken. I have a couple open PCI slots.

I really need to hear my Opeth (Swedish Death Metal!! \m/ ) now, for workout time, and I'm bummed.

Thanks,
Tony
