I have Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (4.4.0-38-generic) running on a Intel NUC (DC53427HYE) that is hooked to my Samsung TV.
It has been working OK for a long time but suddenly there was no sound (HDMI).
I replaced the no-sound-NUC with another NUC and the sound was there - so apparently the TV setup was OK.
Then I upgraded the no-sound-NUC firmware the the latest (RK0043.bio) but still no sound.
So I began to suspect a hardware problem - but I gave it a last try.
I booted with a live USB Ubuntu 16.04 and ... bingo ... the sound was there ... apparently no hardware issue.
Some software is creating the problem with the sound.
I am totally lost and really need support to fix this issue - don't know where to start to eliminate the problem step by step.
All help is very much appreciated.
