Public bug reported: All automatic updates have been installed on my system (bug reporter couldn't find an update trail, so that may be an issue, too).
Recently, in the middle of a session, my sound output ceased. Just before it happened I had made minor changes to the Default Applications using the GUI - those changes were only to replace Abiword and Gnumeric with their Libreoffice equivalents for spreadsheets and word processor documents. Launching "Volume Control" settings, the Alsamixer display had no indicators for controls listed under 'playback' (f3). Instead, there is just an item labelled <S/PDIF> with '00' in a box above it and this does not respond to numeral or arrow keys. I have tried reinstalling Pulseaudio. This hasn't helped. I have installed pavucontrol. Now, during playback of video and sound files, when I view pavucontrol the blue levels indicator for my sound cards is moving as if there is a signal, but there is still no sound. I have tried plugging in other speakers to confirm that it's not my speakers at fault. I have also tried adjusting the level under the 'output' tab of pavucontrol, but this has not helped, either.

I have the same Kernel version. Another user has had their sound disappear, then reappear after putting their laptop in sleepmode overnight. Again, same kernel version, but desktop environment unspecified.
