You know that famous Van Gough painting? 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. =(
