No registered output devices for sound found in pavucontrol

Hi folks,

I installed Arch on my laptop recently and ran into sound issues, pavucontrol shows no output devices except for the 'dummy output' and I can't actually get sound out of my system. When playing videos, songs etc. which should supposedly output sound, it shows up in pavucontrol though.

Here's the information regarding my system I could gather from alsamixer, if you need anything else/more, please let me know.

/proc/asound/version

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k5.7.2-arch1-1.

/proc/asound/cards

0 [NVidia        ]:  HDA-Intel - HDA-NVidia
                          HDA NVidia at 0x83000000 irq  17

/proc/asound/devices

2: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback
3: [ 0- 7]: digital audio playback
4: [ 0- 8]: digital audio playback
5: [ 0- 9]: digital audio playback
6: [ 0- 10]: digital audio playback
7: [0- 0]: hardware dependant
8: [ 0]: control
33: timer

/proc/asound/oss/devices was empty

/proc/asound/timers

/proc/asound/pcm

00-07: HDMI 1 : HDMI 1 : playback 1
00-08: HDMI 2 : HDMI 2 : playback 1
00-09: HDMI 3 : HDMI 3 : playback 1
00-10: HDMI 4 : HDMI 4 : playback 1

When opening alsamixer it shows following information:
Card: HDA NVidia
Chip: NVidia GPU 80 HDMI/DP
Items: S/PDIF, S/PDIF 1-4 (all show 00 with green background)

Thanks in advance for any tips and help,
Daniel

Re: No registered output devices for sound found in pavucontrol

What's your output for

dmesg | grep snd
lspci -k

Re: No registered output devices for sound found in pavucontrol

Is sof-firmware (and for completeness sake linux-firmware) installed? If it is and it still doesn't work what's your output for

dmesg | grep -E 'sof|snd' #Sorry didn't realize that sof drivers do not necessary have a snd in their string :/

Something you can try should installing these packages and rebooting not suffice, is forcing it to use the older HDA implementation via a /etc/modprobe.d/dsp-fix.conf

options snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver=1

but you should only use that if it doesn't work with sof-firmware

I had to install sof-firmware and rebooted afterwards, now this is the output I get:

Pavucontrol still shows no output device. I will try the work around and edit this post if it works.

Edit: The workaround worked fine. If you'd like to assist me further in making my system work without this workaround I'll gladly leave this thread open and will stick around, other wise I will mark it as closed.

Thx, Daniel
