Linux Mint 17 --- Audio stopped working

by
Marbux
from LinuxQuestions.org on (#13FSC)
Linux Mint 17 AMD64. Have always had problems with the desired sound device staying selected on all Mint systems since Mint 14 (on several machines). But awhile back, sound stopped working entirely and none of my usual tricks for getting it going again worked.

Tried methods suggested here but no joy (and sound icon disappeared from control center: http://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1304-quick-tip/

Appreciate any assistance.

Best regards,

Paul
