My laptop doesn't recognize my sound card and have only dummy audio. When running inxi -A I get this:

Audio:
  Device-1: Intel Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio driver: N/A
  Device-2: NVIDIA GP107GL High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
  Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.19.0-21-generic running: yes
  Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.58 running: yes

I tried suggested solutions, like installing WirePlumber or restarting PulseAudio, but they don't work.

No sound output devices listed after upgrade from 21.10 to 22.04

I had the same problem and followed the steps from the above link

sudo touch /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio
sudo systemctl --user restart pipewire-session-manager
sudo reboot now

Solved !!!!

  • I got the following error when trying the restart command: 'Failed to connect to bus: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not defined (consider using --machine=@.host --user to connect to bus of other user)' – Pepe Alvarez May 25 '23 at 15:08
  • @PepeAlvarez I had the same error. Did you figure out how to solve it? – demid Sep 18 '23 at 19:17
  • @demid I did not. Only thing that actually worked was to make use of an external speaker, which I enabled the Bluetooth properly from some code I found here. I tried so many things that I lost track of what I did though. – Pepe Alvarez Sep 19 '23 at 20:24
  • @PepeAlvarez thanks. I had a similar experience. Had to re-install OS in the end to make everything work – demid Sep 20 '23 at 21:04

I had exactly the same problem but for AMD card:

Audio:
  Device-1: AMD Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
  Device-2: AMD Raven/Raven2/FireFlight/Renoir Audio Processor
    driver: snd_rn_pci_acp3x
  Device-3: AMD Family 17h HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
  Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.19.0-21-generic running: yes
  Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.58 running: yes

For me it helps to boot to the 22.04 latest kernel

Linux tsebo-T14 5.15.0-52-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 13 08:03:55 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After booting ubuntu with 5.15.0-52-generic, sound drivers are back and working as expected.

try this:

systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse

and check if you have file: /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d

if no such file then reinstall this:

sudo apt --reinstall install pipewire-media-session

Try this(if you need to auto start pulseaudio each time after reboot);

  1. Remove Pipewire using sudo apt remove pipewire

  2. Enable Pulseaudio using systemctl --user enable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

  3. Now start pulseaudio using pulseaudio --start or systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

  4. Now do a reboot.

Thanks Jurij Pitulja, this works for me

systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse

sudo apt --reinstall install pipewire-media-session

I am running 23.04 and audio usually works, one day I booted up and there was no audio device just dummy.

This command fixed it for me:
