I have a desktop pc where fedora can no longer find any output
devices. This started last week. I can no longer get any sound
through the speakers, bluettoth, or headphones. I am running Fedora
34 with 64gb memory. the cpu is amd ryzen 7 2700x. this ts the
result of lspci -k
0a:00.3 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h
(Models 00h-0fh) HD Audio Controller
Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device a182
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel
It looks like the kernel module is wrong. The sound works great when
I boot to Windows.
Any help would be appreciated.
Running
aplay -lV
will show you all your audio devices that alsa recognizes.
Are you using pulseaudio or pipewire? If it is available, I suggest
you switch to pipewire by
dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire
as that is going to be the new default in Fedora. And once you have
done that, install wireplumber and easyeffects, and, if you don't
already have it installed, pavucontrol
dnf install wireplumber easyeffects pavucontrol
If there is now sound, you are done, but if there isn't, start
pavucontrol and set the default device to the sound device you want to
use. It seems you have only one, so that should be easy, but the
graphics device usually has an hdmi sound device that often is
recognized before any other device because the boot up process
prioritizes graphics over sound.
If you still have problems, post back.
