Fixed by uninstalling timidity.

apt-get purge timidity

Sigh.

I get this:

3069 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

I read the release notes again. I do not have this file:

/etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf

debian-pulseaudio-config-override is installed.

If I enter alsamixer, I see the default soundcard is a dummy device. If I select the intel soundcard, suddenly I get all the expected sliders. That said, I still get no audio.

Is PulseAudio running?

pgrep -a pulse

If not then read the beowulf release notes.

As title, my audio is no longer working since a recent upgrade. In my KDE system settings I have a "Dummy output" but that is it. My mixer has "master" control and nothing else - usually it has about 10 different sliders. Please could someone help me out?

Happy to provide more info as required but I like to think this is not a unique problem to me. Thanks.
