That's making me insane for a couple of weeks by now. ![:bawling:]( "bawling")
Generally I always somehow find a solution but until now, the only "solution" is to log out and in again. ![:frustrated:]( "frustrated")
So there's not much I can say about it. I could never see any problem in any log I opened and I could never connect the disappearance with any direct action. Actually it's rather (or only?) happening, when I'm not using the PC. The present powersaving settings only switch off the monitor with the integrated USB hub. When I switch it on again, if I'm lucky, the sound is still available. If not, there is simply a red bar over the Audio Volume tray icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. If I open the audio system settings, it's totally blank. I spent countless hours trying all possible tools and cli commands to check the audio hard and software, at absolutely no avail.
Moreover I read many threads, here and at other places. Still I couldn't find somehow any connection. There was this configuration problem (mistake) some time in december 2023 and I first thought, it could be connected somehow but apparently no. Updating the kernel, except bringing all the additional problems which I had after that (I always need to totally rebuild the NVIDIA drivers), unfortunately did also not change anything.
I'm open for (good) suggestions.![:crossfingers:]( "cross fingers")
Thanks!!
