Hi all,
Appreciate any help you can provide.
Fedora36, KDE Plasma.
Is there an easy way to reset audio configuration to default in Fedora?
Taking a laptop away with me on holidays. On login, the onboard sound card that I have is not detected, and the graphics card audio driver configures incorrectly.
So, no sound available at the moment. System does not detect the onboard sound card.
Normally, I use a laptop as a primary monitor with 2 monitors either side. One through HDMI, one through mini-DP. This gives audio output through the HDMI port, or the onboard card (the miniDP is not supported.) As I am away, I am using a laptop only.
However, following this hint:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/onboard-sound-not-detected-on-gigabyte-b450/26541/4
I created a new admin user.
The onboard sound card works perfectly for the new user.
I went to install pulseaudio and a lot of conflict warnings were flagged. I stopped there.
Removed and reinstalled pipewire.
Same result.
Downgraded alsa* successfully
As I store documents on a separate drive, it’s an easy matter to delete and reinstall an account to fix this, but then I have to do a bit of configuring.
Is there an easy way to reset audio configuration to default in Fedora?
With thanks,
A
