My Linux is running for almost 3 years now and i cant remember when i last time adjusted something in the KDE Sound Device Manager (besides Volume control, that was always working).
Today i was using my 5.1 sound reciever and i had no sound on the centerbox (i had this little hassles with a temporary muted centerbox here and there), so i quick decided to open the KDE Sound Device Manager and only saw Line Output (i think thats my onboard sound, but not sure) and switched from Dual Stereo to 5.1 and this was a big failure, because somehow my creative soundcard is no longer in this menue (but was working because somehow there was a invisible link to my Creative still there) but it was still working… i just ignored that menue for a long time and only adjusted my settings in Alsa, if i needed.
How ever, my Creative Soundcard AE5 is dead silence now… and it doesnt matter what i changed in alsamixer… i could biet me in the ass for adjusting the Line Output device.
I had working sound till the moment i played with the Pacu menue or how ever that called.
I have no clue how i can fix this and to get my soundcard working again please help,
im thinking now to switching Kernels from 5.15 to 6.01 LTS, 6.01 is the LTS right?
Or maybe i rollback my full system with timeshift? Or can i just replace a few config files, to restore my old PACU settings?
