Nope, I’ve checked and I don’t have any PulseAudio, JACK, or other audio packages
Ok good. We should be able to rule that out.
Could be kernel related, I don’t know.
What version? The command uname -r will give it to you. More info here
Also… If you run dmesg do you see any audio related devices or errors? I should’ve thought to ask about that last time.
Want to know what’s even more fun? I need to re-install alsa-utils thrice now
Whee!™ Are we having fun yet lol
That is seriously bizarre.
Did I ask what audio hardware chipset you’re using?
It should show up in dmesg output. Or alternatively look up your motherboard specs and get it that way. Assuming you’re using the built in motherboard audio and not a separate card.
