It happens from time to time, and can be solved rebooting or restarting the session. However it is really annoying making a reboot once you have all your toolbox of programs running.
The solution is as simple as opening a Terminal (ctrl + alt + T)
and restating the pulse audio daemon:
pulseaudio -k (no need to be root)
pulseaudio --start
pulseaudio --check
now you can use you media player with sound!
I investigated a bit more. It seems that problems are caused by the HDMI connector for my secondary monitor. Under some circumstances the output is driven to that second monitor, that has no speakers.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, pulseaudio -k solves the problem.
