[Solved] Audio card not recognized anymore

hully · 2023-07-16 11:51:21

After an update my audio card seems not to be recognized anymore.

I have KDE, and the audio applet says "no out or input devices found".

Can you guide me through the debug process?

How do you start Plasma?

I use SDDM

hully · 2023-07-16 19:14:21

Nothing changes if I start Plasma from the TTY, without a Display Manager

Do any of the following work and give you noise?

After an update it works again

hully · 2023-07-18 10:32:09

No it stopped working again.

It worked for a short time after the update, then it stopped working again (probably after a reboot)

hully · 2023-07-19 03:07:29

@V1del: thank you very much, it worked!

Oh I see:

Active Profile: off

Any idea what set it off?
I didn't run `pactl set-card-profile [...] off` for certain.
