I just installed Fedora 35 and now I don't have sound. I was running 33 before with no issues. I have a Lenovo ideapad 320 that is a couple years old but not sure on what it has for sound. I did not do the upgrade or whatever Fedora calls it, It was a fresh install.

Small update. I did # alsactl init
alsa-lib parser.c:242error_node) UCM is not supported for this HDA model (HDA ATI HDMI at 0xf0c60000 irq 45)
alsa-lib main.c:1405snd_use_case_mgr_open) error: failed to import hw:0 use case configuration -6
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "ATI R6xx HDMI" "HDA:1002aa01,00aa0100,00100700" "0x17aa" "0x3809"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
That made it so that the laptop shows my speakers in the "hardware" menu under sound preferences and the pulse audio volume control in the control center decibel indicator (Sorry don't know the term.) fluctuates as the video plays but no sound. If I use my bluetooth speaker I can play sound through it though now, unable to before. I have not tried the "plug" as I don't have head phones at the moment.
I should note, the live install works flawlessly, I have also tried, before anything else to reinstall from that medium.

yeah, fedora sound can be frusterating. here is what i have to do to get mine working. click on the little sound button then go to settings. it should open a window with general, audio, keyboard...go to audio then make sure that the sound device is the starred default device and make absolutely sure that the correct output is selected. mine used to fluctuate when it could not select the right autio. (keep in mind i use fedora kde spin too). so, for a notebook you are probably using the on-board sound to make sure your audio device is selected and the "analog stereo output" is selected. under the advanced tab is the selection part.
there was one other thing i do but i cannot remember right now but i will look it up if the above does not work.

You're going to have to forgive me here. I am not real familiar with KDE, It's been a while since I have touched it. I know of 2 places for sound related stuff, Sound preference and Volume control. both should be pictured in my upload for verification of what I am referring to. Is there another? The jbl would be my bluetooth speaker which does work just for an fyi.

Thank you everyone. I managed to fix the audio. I had to work through it. I am unsure exactly what my problem but followed some of what I read from the link https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=256989
Everything works.
You'll have to make your settings match. Nothing is automatic, if you want to use headphones at a later date, you'll have to switch to that output. Yes, you have to switch manually EVERY time.
Alsa might be simpler than, say JACK but also more fallible.
Then again, restarting alsa might just do it.

Reason: problem is already solved, changed to general solution for later users.
