I’m on a fresh install of Fedora 41 and everything is working well except for the audio, can’t hear anything nor are there any audio devices available on pavucontrol. Using a headset, and Interestingly enough I can still use the headset’s mic.

One interesting thing I noticed is that everything in my pavucontrol is listed as unavailable and unplugged.

Can you take a look at:
fpaste --sysinfo-audio --printonly
journalctl -b -g 'snd|audio|wireplumber|pipewire'

I’ve uploaded the output to https://0x0.st/8OWG.txt

Are you able to select the pro audio profile and does that change anything?

When I switch to pro audio, pavucontrol claims there’s output but I can’t hear anything.

Out of curiosity does it work if you boot with the headset plugged in?

No difference, I tried with rebooting as well, and taking them out and back in.

What does it look like in alsamixer?

You may need to sudo dnf install alsa-utils

I opened up alsamixer and saw one single volume bar, I go huh that’s not right. So I switch the sound card to HDA Generic and saw that “Front” was muted. I unmuted it and holy crap it works!
