My sound control panel used to show the sound output choices of "Digital Output(S/PDIF)" and "Analog Output" but after the upddate it just shows "Digital Output(S/PDIF)" . These Dell laptops requiring modifying the analog-output.conf.common file, and when I remove that modification "Analog Output" appears as a choice again sound works, but badly because these Dell's require that modification or the sound either silient or very loud through the range of the volume control. I imagine many people with these Dell laptops are having this problem since this update. The modification that makes these Dells work (which this update broke) is in the file: /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common and replacing: [Element PCM] switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = all override-map.2 = all-left,all-right with the following: [Element Master] switch = mute volume = ignore [Element PCM] switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = all override-map.2 = all-left,all-right [Element LFE] switch = mute volume = ignore Making that change and restarting removes "Analog Output" as a choice for Output's. I will be glad to provide more information about my system if someone will tell me what would be useful. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
