SuperEngineerweeeee!....stubborn sound fault resolved!19:52
SuperEngineerI had lost 1 channel of my externally powered stereo speakers...19:52
penguin42plug it in?19:52
SuperEngineernope!19:52
SuperEngineerI ruled out software problem after findind same problem booting to ubuntu, ibuntu mate, solus and elementary [yes, I now have a quad boot sytem]..19:52
SuperEngineerI tried headphones in the pc socket and both chaneels worked.  Noe pc and s/w both ruled out...19:53
SuperEngineertonight I decided it was a speakere prob and was about to swap the failed set with usb + 3.5mm set from redundant "quarentine pc"...19:53
SuperEngineeron physically removing primary of the externally powered speaker set something rather obvious was proved to be cause...19:54
SuperEngineerthe 2 core stereo cable connecting the 2 speakers came out with primary speaker, nothing attached..19:54
SuperEngineerthe rodent tooth marks in the cable were pretty obvious, problem resolved.  Not hardware, not software, but a RIF [rodent involed fault!]19:55
penguin42ah19:55
SuperEngineer...expect to see links to pics of dead rodent on this channel if the sod ever tries it again!19:55
SuperEngineerMoral of this episode:  don't always blame s/w as cause of fault... check ya hardware thotoughly19:57
SuperEngineer...and keep a baseball bat to hand [just in case]19:57
