No sound, video freezes. Volume set to maximum by the system (in GUI), the wrong output device for audio set to default, after restoring to the right output no more video at all…
After the recent update to kernel 5.19.8-200.fc36.x86_64 everything seemed okay, but now I couldn’t play video and had no sound anymore in Firefox, in Chromium, and in Totem.
Cause
Latest Kernel update
Booted from an older kernel, and removed kernel-core-5.19.8-200.fc36.x86_64 + removed kernel-devel-fc36.x86_64, updated grub, sudo dnf clean all, sudo dnf update --exclude=kernel* and now video and audio are back to normal.
It isn’t the first time something doesn’t work due to a kernel-update.
My approach would be to do dnf remove kernel*5.19.8* which completely cleans out all remanents of the failed kernel, then attempt a new dnf upgrade to see if it was only a failure during the install or if it was actually a kernel issue.
