libasound2 not working after update

[Moltke]

Hi [member=6733]TheDead[/member],
I unmark the post now, I though it will have no responses but [member=7109]Moltke[/member] asked me a question about this and now you too.
I installed HWE support and the output from the terminal command line is the following:

hwe-support-status --verbose
Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until abril 2025

I rebooted and disabled the sound from the BIOS. Afterwards, I reboot and enabled it.
In both cases the sound is still missing, the output I wrote are the same.  It is a weird problem.

The only thing is changed is that now, the output of pactl info is the following.

Regards,

According to pactl info pulseaudio is enabled and up, which means you should be getting sound, aren't you? If you don't, try renaming your ~/.asoundrc to ~/.asoundrc.bak, restart pulseaudio

Code:

pulseaudio --check

returns 0 when the pulseaudio daemon is already running, or non-zero otherwise. Then

Code:

pulseaudio --start

start pulseaudio if it is not running yet. Implies --daemonize. For more info read man pulseaudio
