What would make audio happen?

I had it wrong. On this system audio is though analog out. Nevertheless. System settings gets non responsive when I select Built-in

Sometimes this little method corrects the Audio/Muted
deleting the WirePlumber state files can force a reconfiguration.

rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber
systemctl --user restart wireplumber

Also check that the Application is using the correct device on the panel.

Also please check alsamixer to see if anything is muted. :wink:
