Hello @zombiechop :wink:

Is alsa still working or only pulseaudio is crashed?

Test alsa (install first alsa-utils):

speaker-test -c2 -twav

if it is working, try to restart pulseaudio-daemon:

systemctl restart --user pulseaudio

Hi thank you for the response!
I don’t think pulseaudio crashes, because even after losing sound. pulseaudio is working. I do reset pulseaudio, sometimes the sound will comeback and sometimes it won’t

4

Even if pulseaudio is running, it doesn’t mean it is not crashed… and well… thinking is not knowing. Test it.

5

ok I tried to wake up from sleep again, no sound, did the test and there’s no sound.

6

ok then it is really alsa… try to restore it:

sudo systemctl restart alsa-restore.service

and try again the speaker test

But don’t think that will make any difference… :man_shrugging:

Seems it is more a driver problem…

modinfo snd_hda_intel gives some parameters to try. Maybe it is a powersaving issue?

Try this parameter: pm_blacklist=Y

sorry I do not understand how to apply that, am I supposed to add that to the kernel?
and I think already have pm_blacklist=Y added

I don’t now if alsa is used with PulseAudio but…
Could it be related to a missing /etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf?

On my system i see only these alsa related services: (as name at least)

systemctl status alsa-restore.service alsa-state.service
● alsa-restore.service - Save/Restore Sound Card State
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/alsa-restore.service; static)

             └─ ConditionPathExists=/var/lib/alsa/asound.state was not met
