Obvious question: Have you rebooted? If you've done some updates and not rebooted, that can lead to things like that. (Other updates don't require it, that's why some people don't notice problems after some updates.) Are the apps that still have sound ones where you have configured them for a specific sound device output, rather than left them just using a system default? If you have multiple devices that could be a sound output, it's possible the wrong one is selected. Skype is a bit of law unto itself regarding sound, and can require fiddling with the program from time to time. Especially if there's more than one choice for sound devices. On one of my systems there is the internal sound card, that's unused. And a HDMI monitor which has audio, and that's where my speakers are connected. There is a tiny bit of smarts, somewhere, that can detect when things are plugged in (to either), and it usually gets it right. Though is likely to get it wrong if my monitor isn't working when I logged in. Another system has the internal sound card (again unused), a HDMI monitor with internal speaker (which is my usual sound output), and an outboard USB audio device which I don't use unless I'm editing or listening to music. When I switch that on, I usually have to manually configure the sound system to use it instead of my monitor. Rarely is it picked by default, even if I have been using it earlier on and left it switched on. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
