(solved) No sound ! ! Ugh!

@01101111 As a matter of fact, yes… Several reboots once each
for the deletion, and reinstall of “alsa”
a few times in-between, after changing sound parameter settings, and Timeshift did it once all by itself.
Rebooting… is in my blood!

Don’t know if you’ve ever seen it, but there was a British Comedy
called “The IT Crowd”(2006 -2013) about the trials and tribulations of a “Geek” squad of 2 (Chris Dowd, and Richard Ayoade) with a female IT Dept. manager (Katherine Parkinson) who knew only, how to turn on a PC.

One of the lines used for every pone call rec. was
“Hello, IT Dept. Turn off your machine. turn it back on then,
and CALL ME BACK”. Never giving the caller a chance to speak.
Being in IT for almost 14 years, This was such a kick for me!

If you’ve not seen the show…
