I like to leave my PC running.

About every two days the audio goes out until I reboot the PC.

Given that long length of time I'm thinking it would be hard to debug this issue.

I would have to wait 2 days to report back whether or not something worked.

I am also wondering if whatever problem it is that only every two days if I would have the power to fix it without hacking a kernel ( I can't ).

If it were worthwhile to debug this issue, what sort of information would I gather and when?

Happy Sunday

I've been running Mint for years and I haven't had this problem with a
vanilla install.
Sometimes the perms on the audio device get screwed.

Make sure pulse user is in group 'audio'

from /etc/group

audio:x:29:pulse

Thanks for the tip! No worries there though:

==================================================================
Mint21.2VictoriaCinnamon5.8> cat /etc/group | grep pulse
audio:x:29:pulse
pulse:x:131:
pulse-access:x:132:
