Debian Wheezy server: no more sound for MPD


Hi,

I have a Debian 7 Wheezy server at home providing amongst others a miniDLNA and MPD service locally. Now I've lost sound on MPD.

I have:
- verified the cables are still attached correctly (and the amplifier works of course)
- verified MPD is not broken
- verified sound is processed (miniDLNA works)
- found that speaker-test does not give me any sound

I am using PulseAudio.
MPD runs as user mpd and is a member of the audio group.

I have followed the steps at http://debianhelp.co.uk/sound.htm, but no luck.

What error message does speaker-test give you?

Check your hardware connections -- is the soundcard seated properly?

EDIT: You already did that...

I don't know, sorry.
