Audio Not Working (Alienware Laptop Running Linux Mint)

[JNAProductions]

I have an Alienware 17 laptop and the latest Linux Mint. I was watching YouTube, and all sound cut out. I do not know how to fix it, and I've been googling around for the past hour trying to find a solution.

I'm not sure what other information is needed, though I'm sure some is-please let me know what information I need to post so you can help out.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Try the Linux Mint help IRC channel. When I have a technical problem with Mint or Ubuntu I usually go to their respective IRC channels first for help and that usually gets me what I need.

If this was Windows I'd suggest restarting, or maybe closing some stuff and waiting for a while. Both have worked for me in the past. But I have no experience with Linux.

Maybe try the restarting one anyway if you haven't yet, just to be sure.

So, good news-it started working again.

Not sure if one of the fixes I tried did it, or it just solved itself, but I have audio.

Thank you guys anyway!
