modest bay
I just started using Linux Mint, and while testing my computer by trying to play "Sons of the Forest" the entire computer froze and I had to turn it off.
Since then, my speakers won't give any audio. It says that the volume is at 100%. I've tried Timeshift to rollback to an previous state, (though I didn't touch any in Timeshift settings when I did it) and tried doing another boot from the USB drive, and still didn't have audio.
