Hello everyone, I'm running Jessie x64 with the XFCE DE. I've noticed that as of last week sometime, after an update, I have to kill pulseaudio, and restart it with "pulseaudio -D --system" in order to get any sound. I haven't made any modifications that I think would have any influence on pulseaudio, and I get the same behavior with any of the old kernels I boot into. I can also run alsamixer, see all sound cards, adjust sliders, ect... but nothing other than restarting pulse brings back sound.
Thanks for any advice Kyle B Has anyone noticed similar behavior with their machine?
