Hi Guys.

 Linux Mint 19.1 and on a reboot this morning, my sound system just
died.  Speakers are plugged into the AMD ASUSTek Motherboard, not the
HDMI slots:
steve at Beast ~ $ lspci -v | grep  -i audio

So, the AMD Device is no longer listing or accessible.  I've done some
Googling on the Internet, but no luck.  This is one where I am willing
to pay for a fix.  Any ideas?  Or any ideas on who to contact?

Regards,
Steve
