Speakers -> Worked via Line OUT for months
Take PC apart and change PSU, assemble PC back.
Speakers - Line OUT detected but can’t test Left/Right audio channels, options missing. No AUDIO from speakers unless I select them as default in Pavucontrol or manually assign outputs via Helvum.
Fedora 43 GNOME
How do I get my GNOME audio settings to work again?
This is so random and funny at the same time… yet frustrating because it makes no god damn sense :D
Save yourself the time and boot into a live distro with gnome, like the latest Ubuntu or something. Sanity test. Make sure it works there before trying to fix your own install.
Live USB - works fine
Fresh install - works fine
Update system after fresh install - breaks again
Well that’s a relief. Dmesg? Journal? Pavucontrol? Might be changing the sound profile or something. Time to have a tinker and inspect. It’s 530am here so I’ll check back in a few hours
pavucontrol works but it’s annoying to use, I just want to be able to quickly select between audio outputs in the GNOME menu as always.
alsamixer does not even see any analog output and
cat /proc/asound/devicescat /proc/asound/cardscant see any analog output either.
I can force it with wireplumber when manually selecting correct sink which in system settings defaults to HDMI but audio goes trough my speakers until I need to change output and want to change back. If I manually select HDMI it just goes into my monitor speakers as it should

I’ve just installed CachyOS GNOME and the same issue occurs like on Fedora. Seems like this is either GNOME issue or something with the more recent update…. I’m gonna try OMARCHY

works in Omarchy, I’m gonna try Fedora KDE now
I will give it a try tomorrow.
