Any clues?
Is it possible that the Connector setting under the Output tab is wrong? The volume control might be controlling the volume on an unused output.
Well, I don't think so...
there are only two choices there, Headphones and Line Out. Headphones kinda makes sense, since the green jack on the back of the computer is where the amplifier/speakers are connected. It has been this way for the life of this computer (2-3 years).
Choosing LIne Out immediately cuts off the audio entirely.
the "device" option has two devices, built-in analog audio, or the nvidia HDMI jack. since I don't use the nvidia hdmi for audio output, I leave it on the built-in analog audio.
I know it was working as recently as yesterday, because I was listening to an audiobook on the Internet Archive last evening.
I also tried to post on the Mate forums, but they seem to be closed, i.e., not accepting any new postings.
