So I upgraded my system from 20.04 to 22.04 using the official upgrade window but now my audio is all screwed up. My audio has been replaced with "Dummy Output" and it won't detect input at all. I can lower or increase the volume of this dummy output but there is no output from either my speakers or my earbuds. What can I do so I can hear and say things?

While searching around on AskUbuntu and trying solutions, I did find something sus:

guninvalid@guninvalid:~$ pulseaudio -k
guninvalid@guninvalid:~$ echo $?
0
guninvalid@guninvalid:~$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
guninvalid@guninvalid:~$ sudo pulseaudio -k
[sudo] password for guninvalid: 
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process

Seems pulseaudio won't kill itself for some reason. Is this related?

In accordance with @Terrance's comment:

  • I am very sure that I would've been able to help you If I would've upgraded yet. Ran the upgrade to 22.04, went great, after it upgraded, I turned off my system and went. When I came back I get an error when logging in. – Syed M. Sannan - alt Sep 04 '22 at 19:33
  • Please edit your question and add the output of sudo lshw -C multimedia. Thanks! – Terrance Sep 04 '22 at 21:16

    Definitely hard to say, but from this thread with the same audio https://community.frame.work/t/ubuntu-21-10-tiger-lake-sound/11908/25 it appears as a bad board, but I would try other things first. You might want to also see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1321950/ubuntu-speaker-troubleshoot and might need to update the sof-audio. You might also need to update your GRUB like in: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1243369/sound-card-not-detected-ubuntu-20-04-sof-audio-pci – Terrance Sep 05 '22 at 01:09
