No sound after kernel 5.8.15-301

FC33, FC34, Sound disappeared after update to newest kernel version.

Audio codec: VIA VT1708S

snd_hda_intel - loded fine, pulseaudio - loded, no errors. Not muted.

I compile some kernels from www.kernel.org using fedora config-5.8.15-301.

This is results:
5.4.143 Yes
5.8.15 Yes
5.10.61 No Sound
5.13.12 No Sound
5.13.13 No Sound

I do not know what is the reason for the lack of sound. Maybe it’s
better to stay on the old working kernel and wait for the error to be
fixed in newest versions?

Are you aware of the change between pulsaudio and pipewire in F33 > F34?
For me it is not clear if you talk about two independent installations or about an upgrade.

Two independent installations. Fedora 34 with kernel 5.8.15 sound work.

I confirm, I also lost the sound last year after updating the kernel. I used Arch Linux and did not install PipeWire, so it has nothing to do with it. A related topic on the Arch Linux forum: No sound from the speakers of Acer Swift 5 laptop / Multimedia and Games / Arch Linux Forums

For testing, I installed different versions of LiveUSB:
Fedora 33 (5.8.15-301.fc33.x86_64) — yes
Fedora 34 (5.11.12-300.fc34.x86_64, PipeWire) — no
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (4.15.0-112-generic) — yes
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (5.11.0-16-generic, PipeWire) — no

I have not tested intermediate versions of Ubuntu. My main system is now Arch Linux with kernel 5.13.13-zen1-1-zen and PulseAudio 15.0 — no sound.
