Hello,
There are already a few days since I'm trying to debug this situation. No much experience either.
The system install is a few months old, and it worked fine. I was playing with the system, so I don't know what really caused the problem, a kernel update, an NVidia driver installation...
Symptoms: no sound in the speakers
Gnome 3 Sound Settings
- Choose a device for sound output:
-- Dummy Output
Usually after a restart the list above is populated with the real sound devices and the sound works.
The next day the problem might come back again. If not, some other day.
