Audio Card not recognized since last update

It is not actually switching to that. I’ve done it recently that way:

  1. Open a terminal and type there to follow the kernel messages:
sudo dmesg --follow-new
  1. Close any application which uses sound at any matter.

  2. Open a second terminal and stop the sound server:

systemctl --user stop pipewire
# If you still uses pulseaudio you need this:
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio
  1. Unload the driver:
sudo modprobe -rv snd_hda_intel
  1. Switch the config:
sudo modprobe -v snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=3

:notebook: Moreinformation by this command: modinfo snd-intel-dspcfg

  1. Check which driver was loaded:
inix -Aazy

Also the first terminal should show information.

  1. Start the sound server again:
systemctl --user start pipewire
# If you still uses pulseaudio you need this:
systemctl --user start pulseaudio
  1. Check if there is any difference.

:notebook: Note that these steps are only temporary. To make it work permanently, you need to add a config at /etc/modprobe.d/.

About hdajackretask, I made this recently: Intel Cannon Lake PCH cAVS | Conexant CX20632 | No sound at HDMI or DisplayPort - #2 by megavolt However, when I read this:

That I would say you need SOF instead or for some reason it cannot detect your sound device. :man_shrugging:
