Dummy Output after update on Fedora 40 in Dell XPS 9710

[jimmydalou]

I did an update about 3 days ago, and after a restart I realized I lost my audio.

I can still use my Bluetooth headset and mic but cannot use internal/external speakers or mic.

I feel like I have tried everything I could find and restarted with no change.

I’m sharing the most common information I’ve seen asked to be shared.
Has anyone experienced this on f40 and can shed some knowledge please.

Is the previous kernel version that worked still installed? If so, does your sound work again if you select it from the boot menu? If so, I’d suggest that you keep the working kernel and don’t let it get uninstalled.

[jimmydalou]

Thanks for your response.

There is actually 4 previous versions in my boot menu tried all, all came up with Dummy Output.
I have a triple boot on this laptop. Windows 11 and Kali LInux, sound on both works flawlessly.

[glb (Gregory Lee Bartholomew)]

In that case, it might be a problem with pipewire. Does downgrading pipewire with sudo dnf downgrade pipewire and rebooting your PC fix the problem?

[jimmydalou]

Just tried it.
Downgraded to pipewire 1.0.4.

No change after reboot.

[glb (Gregory Lee Bartholomew)]

Usually, something that is broken by an update will resume working when the update is reverted/downgraded. However, if other configuration changes have been made to the system, it is possible that one of the manual changes is (also) preventing the system from working. Do you remember what all changes you made? Did you undo them promptly after you discovered that they did not resolve the problem?

Beyond that, you’ll have to find some sort of error message in a log to identify the problem.

Edit: Oh, I see that you have an nVidia card. You might ask @computersavvy about the nVidia driver. He has had some luck troubleshooting those.

[computersavvy (Jeff V)]

Please also post the output of sudo dmesg | grep -i snd and inxi -Fzxx as well as dnf list installed '*nvidia*'

[jimmydalou]

Yh, I made sure after every restart without change I reverted and restart again.

Thanks much for assistance though.

This is not a pipewire issue, but a (known) kernel issue. It regressed with 6.10.8; 6.10.7 is still working. Unfortunately, even in the latest 6.10.10 this is not resolved.

Here a link to the Archlinux side of things: [6.10.8] Audio stopped working after upgrade / Laptop Issues / Arch Linux Forums

And here a link to the SoF project:

[BUG] No sound on Dell XPS 13 9315 (Linux version/SKU 0B14) with Arch Linux kernel 6.10.8

You have an nvidia GPU and using the nouveau driver.

I am not an audio expert, but this appears mostly normal to me for the audio.
The only thing I see that is strange is the fact that server 1 is using JACK and is off.
Mine is using the integrated audio with pipewire (assuming the server names are related to the device names).

[jimmydalou]

Oh wow… I have no idea, thought nouveau was the correct drivers.
May have to look into how to switch.

Same here. I’m not an audio expert so I have no idea what should be.

Upgraded to 6.10.10 this morning but still no change.

[glb (Gregory Lee Bartholomew)]

I’m not sure if the nvidia driver is the problem. I just thought I remembered someone having difficulty getting their sound to work not too long ago and reporting that it started working after they (re)installed the nvidia driver. If it worked before and you weren’t using the proprietary driver, then that probably isn’t the problem. Most of the reports of the audio breaking with updates in the last few days have reportedly been due to that 6.10.8+ kernel bug. If you upgraded in the last few days and the audio stopped working, that seems like the most likely cause.

[computersavvy (Jeff V)]

Note the audio driver even on the nvidia GPU is snd_hda_intel which shows the audio issue is likely not the card nor driver, but I showed that JACK may be related.

[spockfish (Harry ten Berge)]

As I said before, this is the kernel. My XPS runs without the Nvidia enabled, only with the Intel. And no JACK or anything else involved.

[thephatlee (Marko Jokinen)]

are you still on 1.27 system firmware? i have dell xps 15 9510 and firmware 1.27 and 1.28 had lots of BT/usb issues and any other and they just released today 1.32 that has lots of USB/BT fixes and external monitor issues

[jimmydalou]

Nah… I managed to get the update to 1.29.
I saw no real improvements tbh…

• Sound still gone.
• Bluetooth now does not connect automatically.
• Still have to change my laptop 4k screen to 1920 x 1080 to match the external monitors to avoid scaling issues.

I will keep an eye out for 1.32.

[thephatlee (Marko Jokinen)]

i just updated to 1.32 weird tho i have 4K laptop screen and run 1440p external and no scaling issues or dummy sound issues

i had those before 1.30 came had to manually switch codec to difrent and then back to default to enable sound again

i use dell hub usb-c and DP to monitor, HDMI is no good had so much issues on HDMI
