Re: [Solved] No sound after system upgrade

I've got the same issue without pulseaudio

*Obviously* not, see comment #18

the problem was at the end still just of pulseaudio

"Sound does not work after some upgrade for a while" can have a pleathora of causes and is no good pattern here.

=> Please open another thread with your issue and provide details on "how" sound doesn't work there. (There's most likely a failure in some alsa module, power saving or whatnot involved)

Re: [Solved] No sound after system upgrade

As said in post #18, I've got the same issue without pulseaudio but with the 4.10.x kernel updates. I've worked around it by installing pavucontrol and (re-)choosing audio device or something and then the next kernel has broken it again (and again). Finally I've solved it by reverting to the lts kernel.

I remember saw some post in this forum months before, a guy was also explaining the reason being the new kernel, he even gave a link pointing to the lines that potentially has caused the issue.
Anyways, glad we both have our problems solved.
Regards!

@seth, no, you're not quoting #18!
