Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

For some reason it can only see the HDMI ports.

Open pavucontrol and go to the Configuration tag. I had a similar problem in the past and changing the profile fixed it.

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

Under the Configuration tab I have the choice of

Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output (unplugged)  (unavailable)
Digital Surround 7.1 (HDMI) Output (unplugged) (unavailable)
Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI) Output (unplugged) (unavailable)
Off

No analog stereo options

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

Is the firmware-sof-signed package installed?

Please share the output of

lspci -knn -d ::0403

(That command assumes you're running BunsenLabs Boron; if not omit the -d option and only paste the sections relating to audio devices.)

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

No "Kernel module in use" line then? Nevermind.

How about the package?

apt policy firmware-sof-signed

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

Can we see the output of dmesg? Please use [code] tags when posting terminal output, it greatly improves readability.

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

Okay, let's try

sudo dmesg | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Then share the returned URL. Thanks.

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

So you have some log spam from snaps. Not sure why the output has been clipped

Anyway, has the sound ever worked in this system? Does the sound work in the live ISO?

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

We can see if the journal will print a full record:

sudo journalctl | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

It would make it easier if you rebooted then ran the above command immediately the terminal is available. Thanks.

Re: Pulseaudio Doesn't Know I Have Analog Devices

Well that didn't work

We need to see a full journal. I can't help otherwise.
