Hello list, The USB sound dongle on this workstation has stopped working, but only for me. The system settings Audio setup window detects it but no sound is heard (I nearly said none appears :) . It worked a week ago, and it still works if I log in as a new user. Windows 10 has no trouble with it either. Nothing has changed in the kernel setup, and all the right modules are loaded.
Could I have something poisonous in $HOME? I'm awfully tired of creating new user accounts for myself. And this reminds me of the problem with Konsole not shutting down properly: 1. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=819459 and 2. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445862 . A comment on [1] suggested something in my $HOME was to blame, but nothing came of it. (The motherboard chip failed months ago, so I bought a UGreen USB dongle. System settings detects that, and the audio output of my GPU, as well as the dongle.) -- Regards, Peter.
