I have recently come over from Windows, so still accustoming myself to the switch.
I have been unable to get audio from my onboard audio. I’ve been searching the forums, and looking through my audio devices in terminal, but still unsure as to how I can get it working, or what the root of the issue is.
My motherboard (B450M) uses Realtek ALC892.
I’m using the rear line-out with headphones.
In the audio mixer configuration, it only has two options which are not listed as “(unplugged) (unavailable)”, both of which are Digital Stereo, and only let me select the S/PDIF port in the output devices tab. I’m currently just running a bluetooth speaker until I can get the outputs working.
Here’s my pacmd list-cards output.

From what I can fathom from above, is that it has everything there, but it’s just not using the ports, or recognising that anything is plugged in. I also tried the front headphone jack with no change.
I have looked through a few topics, and tried to adapt the steps here [AMD] Family 17h (Models 00h-0fh) HD Audio Controller is disabled on LM20, but working on LM19.3 - Linux Mint Forums but to no avail.
Edit: I installed linux515 in the hope it may help, but it’s still the same.
