once again, a reboot (requiring a couple fskings) has brought the sound
back.

This is the third time within the space of only two weeks, where one day
I'm happily listening to music on my machine one day. then I wake up the
next and there's no sound!
Neither pavucontrol nor alsamixer show anything muted.
Last time it seems a reboot (after successfully trying and succeeding to
listen with a livecd system) resolved the issue.
I can't help but think some module is being shut off overnight, but
comes back on at boot. Any ideas?

Dunno why. I did just two days ago, when I was happily listening to
Opeth.
Pulseaudio is running:
ps aux | grep pulseaudio
tony 2340 0.5 0.0 370052 6788 ? S<l 12:24 0:01
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start
tony 2402 0.0 0.0 4324 104 ? S 12:24 0:00
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11
tony 3116 0.0 0.0 12720 964 pts/0 S+ 12:28 0:00 grep
pulseaudio
This is on Jessie,
Speakers are properly plugged in, etc.
I'm stumped.
./tony
I have verified that there is no hardware problem.
I plugged the speakers into a phone and they worked fine.
Also, this machine has a 2nd hdd with win7 and I booted that and sound
worked fine, so there appears to be no problem with the sound card or
the speakers.
Still stumped
./tony
I would check if pulseaudio has the proper input/output devices
correctly
configured (and unmuted)
I couldn't figure out how to do this (no man page for pulseaudio-utils),
but eventually found something in th lxmenu for Audio->Pulseaudio Volume
Contol, and found that analog output was muted.
I Unmuted it and was startled by the glorious sound of YOB (doom metal),
I had inadvertently left playing earlier in an instance of mocp I'd
totally forgotten in a minimized terminal.
Also check in alsamixer if something relevant is muted.
This "Suddenly I have no sound" means what exactly: listening and it
stopped
or you rebooted and it was not there anymore?
regards
forgot to mark this resolved...done now
