Audio devices fail
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2025 5:30 am
Some time ago my computer started to fail:
When I turn on the computer, no audio devices are detected.
The utility "Sound card selection" sees sound cards (both Azalia and HDMI) but does not output sound when testing.
The pavucontrol mixer does not show sound cards in the configuration.
If I reboot the computer, the audio devices appear and work normally.
I did not find any difference in QSI after boot on and after reboot.

I think that some service is not starting, but I don't know which one.
I would like, if I can't eliminate this failure, then at least not reboot the computer, but restart one service.
