15.0 Sound problem

I went from Current of 11/21 to 15.0 recently. Update was to my ssd and went very well, except I lost sound.I have a RazPi 4 with 4G. I did it with upgradepkg, which kept the config.

I also have a working ~current on an sdcard, and compared Pavucontrol menus playing videos. I get audio on the level meter, but no sound. Comparing:

Code:

                  Working                    15.0Playback      System Sounds              System Sounds


Recording    Nothing                    Nothing


Output        Analog bcm2835HDMI          Dummy Output

              Headphones bcm2835          No earphones


Input        Nothing                    Nothing


Config        HDMI_1 & Headphones 2835    Entirely greyed out

I'm at a loss. I remade the initrd with /sbin/mkinitrd because I made the first one in a chroot, and things like /sys aren't there. I was careful to use '-m ext4:bcm2835:bcma' but only bcma was added. Any ideas for me?

EDIT: I should mention I grabbed kernel 5.16.16 packages from current for the update, because there are are a few recently patched security bugs. I'm not using uBoot.

Kernel from the slarm64-15.0/current distribution?
The kernel used in the images is the Raspberry Foundation, go to the kernel.

Updated to kernel 5,16.7 which I think takes me past all the nasty kernel bugs (dirty pipe and the firewall thing). Sound is back, thanks very much. Now I can follow rule #1 of Electronic Maintenance:D.

I spent decades in Electronic hardware maintenance and made half of my living from people who broke that rule.

Sound is fine now, but I've noticed this RazPi is not shutting down.

I get stuck on the line

Code:

"Exiting kwm virtualization"

or words to that effect. I can power off and the sky doesn't fall in. I didn't even know I had virtualisation going on.

I updated the kernel to 5.16.16, aarch64 provides support for virtualization, I tried running qemu with windows xp (it worked but slowly)
