  • Sound failure

    From Grimble@2:250/1 to All on Sun Oct 9 15:02:57 2022
    Since Sunday morning's update I have lost sound. The following message
    appear in the journal when I try to start e.g BBC Sounds
    pulseaudio[2784]: Failed to create sink input: sink is suspended. pulseaudio[2784]: Error opening PCM device front:1: Invalid argument
    (not just bias - the same error message appears when starting to play
    Classic FM)
    Also trying to start Clementine
    Any ideas, anyone?

    Try renaming ~/.pulse to something else such as ~/.pulse.old, logout and back in.
