This probably isn't your problem, but maybe it is related:
Not too long ago I had sound disappear in a random collection
of applications. Some could play sound, some couldn't.
I finally tracked it down to my motherboard supporting
two "sound cards" (actually built-in, but it showed up
as two devices).
Apparently someone, somewhere was implementing "load
balancing" or some such nonsense (it started happening
out of the blue with no hardware changes). If I
plugged earphones into the sound output I wasn't
using for anything, I could hear the apps where
sound had disappeared.
I finally set the sound profile of the card I wasn't
using to "none", and finally everyone started sending
sound to the card I was using. (Sheesh!).
I have no idea why this happened, I had the default
sound sink set to the one card I was using everywhere,
yet random apps were picking a different one anyway.
Tom,
I have worked with a lot of audio equipment, and there has always been a
method to select which input you wished to here. From basic tuners to
mixing boards you have a choice. How does this system know whether I
want to listen to my music or some junk add from firefox?
Thanks,
Don
