Hello ,

i updated my box to Beowulf and noticed the following behaviour:

Upon booting there is an error notice with alsa something and HD (soundcard) and when i login, i don't have sound.

My soundcard is an internal one (Realtek HD) on the Mainboard

Alsamixer shows:

0 HDA ATI HDMI (Graphics Card HDMI)
1 HD-Audio Generic (Realtek ALC1220).

When i go into Pavucontrol the error comes

Establishing connection to Pulseaudio. Please wait....

and nothing happens.

The Speakers are connected thru a Toslink Cable to the Digital Output on the Mainboard.

Yesterday,
When i disconnected the cable and reconnected, the connection got established and the sound came.

Today, not even that helps.

Any thoughts on how to solve this?
