Created attachment 358315 [details] output of pulseaudio -vvv Description of problem: I've looked at the other "no sound" bugs, but they all seem slightly different than mine, so I'm opening a new one. For a while I was having intermittent problems with no sound being produced on my system. The mixers, including the "advanced" mixer, showed that the volume was up, and no error was produced by sound applications, and yet no sound came. Recently, the problem became persistent. If I kill pulseaudio and run it with -vvvv when attempting to play a sound with paplay, I see the following: D: protocol-native.c: Underrun on '/home/brad/Sounds/receive.wav', 0 bytes in queue. I: module-suspend-on-idle.c: Source alsa_input.pci_8086_27d8_sound_card_0 idle for too long, suspending ... I: alsa-source.c: Device suspended...

Well, this is weird. Just learned that if I plug in speakers, sounds seems to be working. Is it possible that something has disabled my laptop's internal speakers, or are they most likely just dead?
Hmm, please try if "alsactl init" fixes your issue. Then, please try to play around with the controls in "alsamixer -c0" in the terminal. You might find an option there that reenables your internal speakers. If you did find one please file a bug against alsa-util so that this option is set by default for your hw. I will close this now since this looks more like a driver issue or mixer initialization issue than a PA issue.
