[LAU] Built-in hardware out is silent

And, after all those other problems, now the built-in audio output makes no sound at all. The only thing in between now and the last time it was working is that the computer slept ("suspend") overnight. Even a reboot doesn't fix it. I can get sound out of my USB box, ok, but I can't take that thing everywhere just to have audio. How do I troubleshoot the built-in audio card? I never had a single problem with it before. I don't even know what to do now. Every day, there is some new random audio problem. I'm frustrated. hjh -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshark70(a)dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks
