After i build my new pc i installed my favorite distro Mint 18.3 KDE. Everything worked like a charm out of the box.
Until today? Suddenly i noticed i didn't have any sound anymore.
I did a check in the system-settings in the menu and found in the multimedia the message "the shared library not found"
Possible reasons
. An error occurred during the last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
. You have old third party modules lying around
As it worked before and suddenly stopped working i suspect it has to do something with a upgrade.
Now googled around an read a lot about this issue with the same soundcard i have Intel PCM - ALC887-VD Analog but to be honest i don't know what to do since pavucontrol also doesn't work or at least can't find the card.
I tried to install another driver from the daily build https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev ... alsa-daily
But it doesn't work.
What i don't understand is if the system sees the card yes or no and what driver i suppose to install?
Or is there a broken In dependency or orphaned control module. If so how to fix this?
Alsamixer works and shows
Card: HDA Intel PCH
Chip: Realtek ALC887-VD
Nothing mute
