SUMMARY No sound after updating KDE to release 20.04 When starting the computer, it has no sound, the speaker icon es grayed, and in the output devices only shows 'Dummy Output' To make the sound work again I have to kill pulseaudio Downgrading pipewire to version 0.2.7-1 fixes de issue. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Update to 20.04 (which upgrades pipewire to 0.3.8-1) OBSERVED RESULT Speaker icon grayed out, just dummy output shown EXPECTED RESULT Sound working as normal. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: NA macOS: NA Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon User Edition 5.19 Release: 20.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 Laptop: Matebook X Pro i7 2018 tested with kernels, neither worked: 5.4.0-42-generic 5.6.19-050619-generic (currently using) Sound Card: $ lspci | grep Audio 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21)

Same problem, KDE Neon after upgrade to 20.04. Sound Card: $ lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) Only GP104 is listed in Audio > Advanced, but I am not able to enable the device. Internal audio just seems to be gone. Using pavucontrol I'm able to select audio output using GP104, but still no option to use internal audio. Can't test if audio via HDMI is functional, because my monitor doesn't have speakers. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Neon Description: KDE neon User Edition 5.19 Release: 20.04 Codename: focal (after upgrading from 18.04)
Maybe try removing pulse config from ~/.config/pulse (ie rename pulse to pulse.old) and rebooting so pulse can create a new config. Even though I haven't updated as I have a fresh install, I changed gfx card a few days ago (ie with a different sound device onboard) and it confused pulse in seemingly the same way as your update caused so it might be the same thing.

Already tried removing .config/pulse, even uninstalling and reinstalling pulseaudio, but when the computer restarts, there is no audio again. Also, downgrading pipewire to version 0.2.7-1 fixes the issue.
My wife just hit this bug. Fixing it required both downgrading pipewire to 0.2.7-1 and also moving aside ~/.config/pulse.
From what I have been able to find reverting to 0.27 causes /usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service and /usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.socket user units to fail to start Could you please update the pipewire package and add this to your autostart config: sh -c "systemctl --user stop pipewire;systemctl --user stop pipewire.socket;systemctl --user restart pulseaudio" reboot and check if you get audio?

After restart I still have no sound. Didn't exactly know where to put the command, but I created an audioissue.sh script with the following lines: #/usr/bin/sh systemctl --user stop pipewire; systemctl --user stop pipewire.socket; systemctl --user restart pulseaudio; and was automatically added in system config autostart, I also tested running the script by itself and it works fine. After a restart, still no sound, I also checked in syslog that the script ran.

I had to set the option 'Run On' to 'Before Session Startup' in the autostart configuration.
Can anyone who was affected confirm this issue is fixed?
> Can anyone who was affected confirm this issue is fixed? I fixed it with pavucontrol so can't confirm if it would have been fixed otherwise.
(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #10) > Can anyone who was affected confirm this issue is fixed? Is not fixed. Just workarounds.
I have the same problem and had a bug posted on launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1898184 before I came along this ticket so maybe I will close it with reference to this one. My laptop Lenovo P50 is equipped with a Nvidia graphics chip, so I am still able to hear sound by choosing HDMI3 output. However, my microphone is dead. But my comment is mainly on reporting some (in my eyes) strange observation I made just yesterday. To countercheck, I booted a Kubuntu 18.04.5 live system from USB stick and there the built-in audio worked as expected because it did so before I upgraded to 20.04.1. I then shut down the system and removed the stick. After rebooting the installed 20.04.1 again, the built-in audio worked! For example, I could start Zoom client and when entering its audio settings it would not complain anymore about not being able to find the microphone. Instead it recorded sound as usual. BUT: after rebooting the 20.04.1 it apparently was brainwashed and it could not find the built-in audio anymore and Zoom complained again about the supposedly missing internal microphone. I never before experienced such a behavior and I don't understand it. Just thought I should mention it. Nevertheless the bug is really nasty as it prevents participation in web conferences, which became an essential part of daily working in times of Covid-19. Just for the records, I confirm the bug for a Lenovo P50. My system is (output of inxi): Kernel: 5.4.0-48-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.3.0 Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.18.5 tk: Qt 5.12.8 wm: kwin_x11 dm: SDDM Distro: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa) Audio: Device-1: Intel 100 Series/C230 Series Family HD Audio vendor: Lenovo driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 00:1f.3 chip ID: 8086:a170 Device-2: NVIDIA GM107 High Definition Audio [GeForce 940MX] driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 01:00.1 chip ID: 10de:0fbc Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.4.0-48-generic
Created attachment 132262 [details] attachment-15999-0.html Just as an update: Downgrading pipewire didn't seem to help me, neither starting the proposed script before login. Tried deleting config files as well as killing pulse-audio, clicking buttons in pavucontrol, removing the kde config folder... Nothing helped so I switched my father's computer to a fresh Kubuntu install. Now he has working audio again. Hope the "no sound" situation gets resolved soon for everyone who's still having this issue!

I just tried the autostart script method as described above but it won't work on my system as well.

Kind of a tedious procedure to turn on the microphone... Update: Using pavucontrol I was once able to make built-in audio showing up in system settings. But after the next reboot they were gone. I can't reproduce it. In tab Configuration I see a bunch of profiles and some are marked as (unplugged)(unavailable). But selecting them doesn't make a difference.
I'm guessing the output of `journalctl -b 0 _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT=pulseaudio.service _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT=pipewire.service` would be useful. Also when moving .config/pulse out of the way helps I'd be interested in a copy of that folder.

That meets also my observations - a one-time remedy. If you look at comment #13, the strange behavior after rebooting from a 18.04 live system. I have the odd feeling there went something wrong with the system upgrade. Did you also upgrade from 18.04?
> Did you also upgrade from 18.04? Yes, that is when it started. Various other things also broke, but this is the worst issue.
(In reply to Paul Feakins from comment #30) > > Did you also upgrade from 18.04? > Yes, that is when it started. Various other things also broke, but this is > the worst issue. I fully agree. That hplip won't install because hplip is not compatible to 20.04 is also bad but we live in a digital world so print analog paper anyway.

So this only happens with upgraded systems?

I know some system upgrades from 18.04 to 20.04 have been installing the package "timidity" which seems to be causing audio device issues for some people. Does anybody with this bug have timidity installed, and if so, does removing it solve the issue?
BTW: I guess I need to add some other details. I decided to perform a clean install in my PC. The audio seemed to work ok initially, but at some time it started behaving again as described previously (showing the output as unplugges/unavailable). However now I can fix it with the following commands rm -r .config/pulse/ pulseaudio -k But it breaks again (at some times after a restart). Anyway: one more (seemingly) interesting detail is that I first noticed the issue after installing steam (ie enabling 32bit architecture) and inatalling the 32bit nvidia drivers. Not sure if these are related but may be something worth investigating :\

Does anybody with this bug have timidity installed, and if so, does > removing it solve the issue? YES! I can confirm the following: Output of dpkg -l | grep pipewire ii libpipewire-0.2-1:amd64 0.2.7-1 amd64 libraries for the PipeWire multimedia server Output of dpkg -l | grep timidity ii timidity 2.14.0-8build1 amd64 Software sound renderer (MIDI sequencer, MOD player) rc timidity-daemon 2.14.0-8build1 all runs TiMidity++ as a system-wide MIDI sequencer Then I removed timidity (sudo apt-get remove timidity). After reboot I suddenly see Built-In audio again. Zoom doesn't complain any longer about a missing microphone. Now output of dpkg -l | grep timidity rc timidity 2.14.0-8build1 amd64 Software sound renderer (MIDI sequencer, MOD player) rc timidity-daemon 2.14.0-8build1 all runs TiMidity++ as a system-wide MIDI sequencer I rebooted twice to be sure but the situation seems stable.
Alas, I really do not know what to do with this unless we can actually identify what exactly causes the issue on a new installation. So far I was entirely unable to break my system and the posted logs show nothing of particular note to my untrained eyes either. What does `pactl list modules` and `pactl list cards` report on a broken setup?
Also maybe interesting may be the output of `sudo lsof /dev/snd/*`

All my digital audio devices and outputs appear correctly, it's the analogue 3.5mm headphone jack output that has just disappeared.

What does `apt search pipewire|grep installed` have to say?
(In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #45) > What does `apt search pipewire|grep installed` have to say? libpipewire-0.2-1/focal,now 0.2.7-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
But that's not even the neon version :|
(In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #47) > But that's not even the neon version :| It's definitely Neon I use. It's possible I may have changed versions based on comments above (or elsewhere) as an attempted fix. Needless to say it didn't work.
Git commit 62212da409f68151e93cc315cac12550211efab5 by Harald Sitter. Committed on 17/11/2020 at 12:08. Pushed by sitter into branch 'Neon/release-lts'. preset pipewire by default pipewire.service would get auto-started on login but for our purposes that's not necessary as we only need it for wayland and lazy activation via the socket should be entirely sufficient there as we aren't in any form or fashion requiring timely sound output. meanwhile on x11 it seems to step on pulseaudio's toes for unknown reasons. this adds a global neon service preset and forces pipewire to follow the preset rather than debian's determined defaults (which are in fact derived from the service itself and awkward to change in our pipewire packaging) M +10 -0 debian/neon-settings-2.postinst A +19 -0 usr/lib/systemd/user-preset/10-neon-default.preset https://invent.kde.org/neon/neon/settings/commit/62212da409f68151e93cc315cac12550211efab5
Just FYI: apparently there no more issues in my clean install. It's been a while since the last time I had an issue. Although I'm not sure which updated fixed it :\
I am not on Neon, and my Professional USB audio device doesn't load either on every boot: Behringer UMC2040HD Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.9.9-arch1-1 OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 1050/PCIe/SSE2 The built in audio and HDMI from my GPU seem to always work after a boot, but the USB one is hit or miss. Unplugging and re-plugging in the USB cable to it gets it working.

Considering PipeWire 0.3.8 is now more than 40 versions behind the current one and that it's not supported anymore, and that current versions do not have this issue, I am closing this bug as it's now obsolete.
