FWIW, I've just reinstalled alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and rebooted. While the widget seems to be here to stay, the only channel remains "Dummy Output", and sound still doesn't play.

Not familiar with laptops....but I suppose their audio device still sits on the PCI bus.... What does....
lspci | grep -i audio
show?
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
Does that help?
I was able to figure out that the program responsible for the notification area audio widget is PNMixer, and I was able to get it back by running:
pnmixer
Unfortunately, however, it's only the icon, and my sound hasn't returned with it. :(
$ lspci -knn | grep -P '(?=.*driver)(?=.*snd)' $ lsmod | grep snd $ grep pulseaudio /var/log/messages $ grep -P '(?=.*avc)(?=.*pulseaudio)' /var/log/messages* # ausearch -m avc -c pulseaudio $ pactl stat $ pactl info $ pactl list $ pactl list sinks $ pactl -h $ man 1 pactl

Hi poma,
I assume that I'm meant to run those commands? Or are they just a list of various commands that I might find useful to explore? In any case, I ran them all in order, though many of the ones prefixed with "$" failed without root, so I ended up running them all in order again as root.
Here's the transcript of my shell session, although my sound still doesn't work: https://dpaste.de/4KuR
In the latter case, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that all this stuff is way over my head. I've tried reading some of the output and I don't even know where to begin in trying to decipher it..
Thanks
