Hi all, I just recently upgraded and it’s been 4 hrs now trying to get the audio to work again.
I’ve checked the cables and TV I use, all work fine so don’t think it’s a hardware problem. It’s my media centre box so audio is important if I want to watch anything.
So far I’ve tried the following with no luck:
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio
Tried to unmute with alsamixer but the HDMI only shows spdif? Could this be something to do with it?
Changed kernel from 5.9 to 5.10 and now trying 5.4 LTS, it’s the same regardless. So maybe not a kernel prob.
Added “amdgpu.dc=0” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT as some suggested regarding black screen but nothing helps.
It’s weird because there are no errors. Using the following it plays like it’s working but there’s just no sound.
$ speaker-test -D hdmi:HDMI,DEV=0 -c 2

Only one error in the logs:
31/12/2020 15:22 pulseaudio GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
However no dbus errors:
