Sound stopped working suddenly [Solved]

userbinry4n · 2018-03-18 22:29:47

I can not find what is wrong with my sound. It worked last night and now nothing. I have checked to make sure that it is not on mute with Alsamixer and it seems fine. I have tried multiple programs to check the sound, Mplayer, VLC, etc. and nothing seems to work. I plugged in headphones and still no sound, though the computer does recognize the headphones and automatically mutes the speakers.

The pacmd-cards output is truncated and aplay -l and pacmd list-sinks are missing entirely. That the card is only detected as generic might also not be a good sign. In addition to properly posting the remaining outputs, can you add

amixer -c0 
dmesg | grep -iE 'snd|hda|alsa'
pacman -Q linux
uname -a
