TL;DR: zero fan mode stopped working for my AMD RX580. Last thing I remember doing was installing sway, but under another user account. How can I get zero fan mode back?
Some days ago I wanted to try out swayWM. I created another user account and installed in in there, to avoid possible confusions of different profiles / settings.
It might not be related to my issue - it is just the last thing I remember doing, before my AMD GPU stopped turning off the fan completely (zero fan mode). Now, it is running at 803 rpm all the time. I tried going back to kernel 5.8, as I remember that I updated to this kernel version much earlier than the issues arose, but I updated to 5.9 more recently. It had no effect on my GPU fan. Also, going to 5.10 rc2 had no effect.
How can I get automatic fan control back to work, including switching off the fans completely? Thank you very much in advance!
Here is my system config for further details:
