Hi all,
I met several cases where the video and sound became laggy after a system update but always solved after reboot(s). But this update caused the sound lost. No sound anymore. I have tried almost every method that I can find, but not helped.
I tried to change from PulseAudio to PipeWire, but there are so many dependencies and conflict packages link each other. It seems difficult to solve.
Need help!
Thanks.
