Do you happen to use Xine by chance ?

demonicanima · 2010-01-26 04:23:13

I'm having the same problem. Sound worked last night after some updates...fails today after some more updates.
This is true with multiple players (mplayer/audacious/vlc).
I don't even get the beep I usually get when I shutdown.

Here are the updates that you and I have in common.

Figured more information wouldn't hurt.
[edit]: Forgot to mention, this occurs on an Acer Aspire One.

Is it the Xine that breaks my sound?

I met this problem first time,before this my sound works pretty good,i hope it will be fixed in next update!

demonicanima · 2010-01-26 18:38:32

My sound works now...not sure what happened. Essentially I left the computer alone for around 12 hours and now my sound is back, including after reboots, where before I would still have no sound.

jdarnold · 2010-01-26 19:10:16

The problem I've had with the xine engine is that it tends to default to my USB headphones, while everything else uses the onboard sound. So if I want to use flash, for instance, I have to unplug the headphones and reboot.

In my case xine has absolutely nothing to do with it...its not installed, nor do I use usb headphones (I like my Shures ).

So I'm still at a loss as to why it died in the first place.

.....I still can't hear anything! And I have rebooted several times....
