I’ve had no sound on my machine at all for about a week now. Unfortunately, I don’t know exactly when it started because I haven’t been using my laptop for audio things recently and I usually have my machine muted. (I’ve been catching up on movies/shows on my TV instead) Even if I use headphones, I have no sound, so it’s not my speakers.
I’ve looked around at other threads, but even when the behaviour seems to be identical to others that folks have posted, their solutions don’t work or their diagnostics steps are completely unfruitful. (there’s also the problem that I’m new to linux and know next to nothing about sound systems - so it’s perfectly possible that I’m just missing something important)
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Here is a bunch of basic info and other things I’ve seen requested in other posts:
