Re: [Notion-general] There is no sound

[Thomas A. <t.d...@gm...>]

Seems like the problem of `muted`. But I can not be 100% sure because
previously the sound is not muted.

The way I get it worked again is

First check if it works in gdm3 by reinstalling gdm3 and choose gdm3
as the default display manager.

Second, after switching back to slim, launching alsamixer to check Master, PCM.

Third, in alsamixer screen press m to make sure the bar in Master and
PCM is not shown with MM, which indicates it is muted.

Thanks again for the help.

I appreciate it.
