All I did was apply updates one day, and suddenly only about half the media apps on my system were able to make sound. After days of trying to figure this out, I finally found that pulse had decided, all by itself, that some apps should be using the analog out and other apps should be using the HDMI output. When I plugged some speakers into the analog out on the computer, the sound for the "silent" apps showed up on those speakers. Another few days of beating it over the head and using every single sound mixer app I could find to tell it to use the HDMI output for everything and I finally got sound back. I would not mourn if Doctor Who were to go back in time and distract the pulseaudio developers before they could think of inventing this solution for a problem that doesn't exist. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
