The sound cards are detected but getting no sound

why does it say this?
pipe

under configuration set it to “Analogue Stereo Duplex”

then run;

$ pactl list sinks

at the very end of the results, under ports see whether you got something like;

Ports:
                analog-output-speaker: Speakers (type: Speaker, priority: 10000, availability group: Legacy 3, not available)
                analog-output-headphones: Headphones (type: Headphones, priority: 9900, availability group: Legacy 4, available)
        Active Port: analog-output-headphones
        Formats:
                pcm

if not give the results

i have no option saying “analog stereo duplex”
i have one option saying “pro audio”
and several others saying “HDMI surround” and “HDMI stereo” all unavailable and unplugged
i have “pro audio” selected
i can see the audio bar moving when i play a video but i don’t hear anything

run this anyway, and give results;

looks like the firmware for your sound card is missing. checked a bit with your model it has no reference of the actual model of the sound chip(sound codec) used. if you do find, you can use the following index to manually load the module by creating file /etc/modprobe.d/sound-card-module.conf containing;

options snd-hda-intel model=<model>

model index;
https://docs.kernel.org/sound/hd-audio/models.html

if you expect the driver to be delivered running the latest kernel would be a must. running 5.15 would not cut it

i will definitely look into this
thanks for helping me

The correct command is
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse

Edited to remove sudo Thanks @mithrial

No, still wrong. No sudo is necessary for user services.

as last ditch effort try load the module by creating file /etc/modprobe.d/sound-card-module.conf containing following and reboot;

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

still nothing man
thanks for helping tho

try alsamixer in a terminal use f6 to use your sound card make sure nothing is muted

Press f6 and choose your sound card


I would guess spdif perhaps connects to pro audio, can you in pavucontrol select spdif?

Hello @tanishk :wink:

Maybe I am wrong, but snd_hda_intel might be wrong here… your sound card needs the driver:

sof-audio-pci-intel-cnl

Intel Comet Lake PCH-LP cAVS

Since kernel 5.12 … so use 5.15

but from what I see:

snd_hda_intel is loaded since the alternative would be: snd_sof_pci what indicates that the firmware is not there.

Anything in the journal?

journalctl --boot 0 --dmesg --no-pager
journalctl --boot 0 --dmesg --grep snd --no-pager

hello @megavolt
sorry for late reply
i have been traveling lately
i have no idea what is wrong here but here is the output of the second one

󰣇  tanishk ~ ❯❯ journalctl --boot 0 --dmesg --grep snd --no-pager             √

the output of the first one was too big
is this of any help?
