No audio on upgrade - speaker-test has no audio with no error
Hi, this is a continuation of a previous issue I ran into back in October
After running a system upgrade (the info on that upgrade can be found here) I have unfortunately run into the exact same issue, except even more unfortunately the previous fix (a fresh reinstall of pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa) does not work.
All solutions given in the previous post have not worked.
My guess is I could downgrade something and fix it, but I'm not sure what / if that would be a good idea.
speaker-test
speaker-test 1.2.15.2
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 192 to 2097152
Period size range from 64 to 699051
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 12000

Re: No audio on upgrade - speaker-test has no audio with no error
For starters, replace pulseaudio w/ pipwire-pulse - using both services is almost guaranteed to fail.

Re: No audio on upgrade - speaker-test has no audio with no error
Remove pulseaudio-alsa
You've 4 sound devices, 0 & 3 are some USB device (headphones?), 1 & 2 are HDMI - where do you actually expect the sound?

Do you have some less fancy headphones? Do those produce sound?

Re: No audio on upgrade - speaker-test has no audio with no error
"HyperX QuadCast S Analog Stereo" seems some microphone?
Yes, it is a microphone with an aux output that I plug in my headphones to because it's a shorter cable. Other aux ports with the same headphones also do not work.
Do you have some less fancy headphones? Do those produce sound?
No they do not produce sound.

Re: No audio on upgrade - speaker-test has no audio with no error
Did you replace the device in that output?
There a Huasheng Electronics device and the other one is from Asustek, maybe the onboard audio is wired via USB??
For clarification, you tried some other headphones that you plugged into a different (the only remaining) phone jack?
Don't attach *any* external audio components anywhere, reboot, plug some dumb in-ears you know to be good into the onboard sound output, try to play some mp3 w/ mpv and post the outputs of
