No audio/sound after update to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Hello.
I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS on


Code:
uname -a
Linux kinsella-OptiPlex-5060 5.15.0-48-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 26 13:26:29 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I haven't used the PC during the Summer as I use it exclusively for gaming via Steam.

I upgraded it to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS from on Oct 13 in anticipation of spending more time indoors & gaming.

Unfortunately I now have no sound despite having made no changes to the hardware.

Specifically, when I access the Sound tab on Setup I get the first screenshotted image below.

When I choose the SoundBlaster Audigy card (the one that I have used for the last year or two) I get a dummy display with no Left/Right/Centre etc to click on. (See second screenshot below.)


Some (?) diagnostics:

Code:
aplay -l
Code:

As usual I'd be very grateful for any advice because "Winter is Comimg" (TM).

Hi

Did you search apply updates after the installation? If that not does help I would like to see the output of this command

Code:
systemctl --user status pipewire pipewire-session-manager

Thanks.

System fully updated.

I have resorted to
Code:
mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/old_pulse
followed by a restart which forces pulse to reset.

I now have sound with just left & right speakers active - see thumbnail below.

All speakers seem to be driven so I'm content but I'd like to be able to configure the speaker config.

The output from

Code:
systemctl --user status pipewire pipewire-session-manager
is
Code:
~$ systemctl --user status pipewire pipewire-session-manager

Are the pipewire errors informative?

Many thanks.

Pipewire is to "replace" pulseaudio that is the idea. There are still a few bugs with earphone jack and bluetooth plus other issues. I am wondering if you should remove pipewire.


What does
Code:
aplay -l
state after you used

Code:
mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/old_pulse

There are a few issues on the output of the command

Code:
systemctl --user status pipewire pipewire-session-manager

Which are

Code:
Oct 29 20:37:51 MyHostName systemd[1821]: Started PipeWire Multimedia Service.
Oct 29 20:37:53 MyHostName pipewire[1828]: spa.alsa: 'front:2': playback open failed: Device or resource busy
Oct 29 20:37:53 MyHostName pipewire[1828]: mod.adapter: 0x555e50748e30: can't get format: Device or resource busy

Oct 29 20:37:51 MyHostName systemd[1821]: Started PipeWire Media Session Manager.
Oct 29 20:37:53 MyHostName pipewire-media-session[1829]: ms.core: error id:32 seq:291 res:-16 (Device or resource busy): can't create node: Device or resource busy

This link below shows you how to setup pipewire and disable pulseaudio. Or re-enable pulseaudio in case of a issue with pipewire. I suggest picking one. I much rather disable than remove Ubuntu does not like that.

Hi. I reinstalled pipewire and no great change.

I just have Left and Right channels but all the speakers are driven so that's ok.

I've pasted the systemctl output below.



Code:
~$ systemctl --user status pipewire pipewire-session-manager
● pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Thu 2022-11-10 15:24:09 GMT; 1 day 1h ago

      Tasks: 2 (limit: 19075)
     Memory: 13.7M

     CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/session.slice/pipewire.service
             └─14325 /usr/bin/pipewire

○ pipewire-media-session.service
     Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit pipewire-media-session.service is masked.)
     Active: inactive (dead)
The output from pactl info confirms that pipewire is installed?

Code:
$ pactl info

Is the

output from systemctl informative?

Many thanks.

I am studying the output in detail. Pipewire is active from the output. The speakers are functioning correctly?

Thanks.

Yes speakers are working fine.

I successfully ran Fallout 4 and Skyrim under Steam/Proton with working sound.
