Sound Card not detected when using kernel 6.7, is detected on 6.6.10-1

Support Sound

(Using pipewire/wireplumber and pipewire-pulse)

Kernel 6.6.10-1 loads my built in sound card.
cat /proc/asound/cards

alsamixer does not show the card either.

I’m not sure what changed were made by 6.7 that would have caused this. Does anyone have any idea on how I can access the sound card on 6.7?

Hi @muppet,

Seeing as 6.6 is an LTS kernel, is there any specific reason you can’t use that?

To anybody who found this experiencing the same issue:

This problem was my own creation, I had blacklisted the i915 driver manually in /etc/modprobe.d a while ago to attempt to solve something. Removing the blacklist solved this for me, so you might want to check that.
