I'm using "pure" Debian 9 alongside with DWM (no desktop-environment) on my laptop. After the installation, I had to install pulseaudio package in order to make the sound work. It worked well but suddenly the sound doesn't play anymore. I'm not sure what action caused this (whether it was upgrading some package or something else).

I don't see any errors anywhere; it just doesn't play. I've checked on Windows that the speakers work, so it's not a hardware problem.

When I issue pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog and look to the syslog, there are no errors there.

Can anyone help me how to solve this problem? Write in the comments what logs or configs should I paste there.

If you have problems with the sound of the HDMI, install this

$ sudo apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree 

    libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-video-ati

And restart your system and you should have working audio with your hdmi output.
