Downloading some big files in the backround while running a moderately light game on Wine-10.0-rc1(staging) to kill some time. Then for some reason alt tabbing makes the game automatically sets to windowed mode. The moment i applied fullscreen my screen goes black and was logged out of desktop. i had to log in three times to get to desktop. I get back to see my download wasnt interrupted but for some reason the audio is fully gone.
i checked both sound settings and pulseaudio to find out that no sound source is detected.
Game crashed > Crashed desktop also > log back in > no sound
Have you yet tried using pavucontrol to reset your sound output?
sudo apt install pavucontrol
Launch:
pavucontrol
In the output tab, set your output to your desired speakers - test sound.
does it usually take a long time? been waiting for a while now
Can you close pavucontrol and in terminal, run:
pulseaudio -k
Then:
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.service
Then relaunch Pavucontrol and check...
i feel as if some sort of error had happened in the back due to some programs outside my control
Maybe you are using Pipewire...
systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
sam-bridges@sambridges:~$ systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
Failed to restart pipewire.service: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1
See user logs and 'systemctl --user status pipewire.service' for details.
sam-bridges@sambridges:~$ systemctl --user status pipewire.service
Failed to get properties: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1
sam-bridges@sambridges:~$
should i try restarting my device?
Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1
this seems suspicious
What is your output for
systemctl --user dbus.service
Yes, that is always worth trying...
sam-bridges@sambridges:~$ systemctl --user dbus.service
Unknown command verb dbus.service.
sam-bridges@sambridges:~$
it doesn't seem to do anything. But fortunately i manage to solve it in a way unexpected.
I entered the Zorin BIOS and boot up the older OS kernel 6.5.0-41-generic, x86_64. now the sounds are back like usual.
Its so random. all errors i've encountered just appears to happen suddenly after updates and more updates.
but nonetheless, Thank you.
