That kinda haunts you because it's absolutely silent... Well, that's what my computer is like since sound stopped working a few days ago. =| I have these speakers that basically haven't been turned off in 9 years, but I can still play my PS3's sound through them through the aux input, so I'm pretty sure they're still good. I thought it was just a pulseaudio configuration, so I managed to get that bastard restarted, no luck, then it was complaining that the audio device was stuck or something, I warm booted then cold booted... Still no sound. =( Nothing has changed on the machine except I made the horrible, unforgivable mistake of trying to update the software on my machine. =\ It has been so long since I have had a problem with my audio config, I don't know where to begin solving this. Right now there are no error messages, it just pretends to play sound normally but doesn't. =( lspci output: ##################### 00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
