I have a very strange issue: My user does not have any sound device available but others do. I cannot figure out why.
My device is a Dell Latitude E7470 notebook; lspci shows this (audio-related):
Code: Select all
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21)
Subsystem: Dell Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 32, IRQ 131
Memory at e1248000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Memory at e1220000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_skl
I just created another user named "testuser" on the same machine. When I login as this user, everything works; the sound Device shows fine:
Sound is also plying.
This looks like this for my real user:
No sound is playing, no matter if it's from any Video or Sound - file or from the Browsers when I'm trying to listen to Deezer or similar.
These are the groups the users are in:
Code: Select all
mrichter ~ # groups mrichter
mrichter : mrichter adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare docker
mrichter ~ # groups testuser
testuser : testuser
mrichter ~ #
