No sound

[hankon (藿藿玩OpenBSD (HuohuoPlaysOpenBSD))]

Hi everyone, my friend is running Fedora and says no sound devices are detected. He’s using the onboard audio jacks; his CPU has no iGPU, and HDMI is handled by his NVIDIA GPU. He’s using Edifier speakers with the akmod-nvidia driver installed.

Please post the output of inxi -Fzxx, you may have to install inxi, sudo dnf install inxi.

Also the output of lsusb and lspci.

Post as pre-formatted text, not screen shots.

With that info we should be able to suggest what is happening.

We had another issue last night with Cannon Lake audio not working. (this post has a Comet Lake).

Fedora 44 pre release - dummy audio on Aorus Z390 Pro, unable to have sound output/input

Hi all, new Fedora user here with fresh install on dual boot system (windows partition on seperate hard drive). Trying to make the switch from Windows. I am unable to get audio output working - the only listed audio output device is ‘dummy audio’. I have tried the remedy steps listed on Making sure you're not a bot! with no success. It is recognising my USB headphones (ATH-M50xSTS-USB) when running lsusb. I wonder if it is an issue with audio drivers not running? [image]. Output from alsa-i…

Gigabyte motherboard too. More likely a firmware issue with the CPU though.

I have the same issue on a Asus Z390-E Gaming mainboard, running Fedora 44 with kernel 6.19.10-300.

Using kernel 6.19.11-300 there is sound and all audio devices are recognized, however nvidia drivers on my pc using this kernel do not work, they work only with 6.19.10.300.

@hankon if you have the kernel 6.19.11-300 installed, can you try if the sound devices are recognized and working ? maybe it will be easier for the developers to fix the issue.
