Comment 1 Nicolas Fella 2023-03-03 21:31:19 UTC
Is plasma-pa installed?

Yes. But I have already managed to make it appear using these commands

sudo touch /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio
systemctl --user restart pipewire-session-manager

The whole problem started because yesterday I reinstalled Kubuntu 22.04 with Plasma to do a general cleanup. Before I also had the same version installed, but with successive updates since 20.04. So everything was working fine.
now when connecting the TV via HDMI it does not detect the audio output and the TV can be seen but not heard.
Trying to fix it I had broken something, but I finally managed to get to the beginning.
Now I still have the problem that it does not detect the HDMI audio
I have tried connecting and disconnecting the HDMI cable, reinstalling pavucontrol, etc.
I'm looking for solutions on the web but I can't find the right solution

Thanks

Hi,
I also have a problem with Bluetooth. The device (headphones) is detected, it connects for two seconds and disconnects. After that you can't connect again.
It may have to do with the audio output as HDMI is not recognized either
I have looked in blogs and forums, I see that this problem is common

Thanks

Hola
I have done two more things; I have first reinstalled from scratch Kubuntu 22.04. The problem with the sound is the same and the HDMI has not recognized me. Bluetooth doesn't work properly either.
Then I have removed version 22.04 and I have installed from zero Kubuntu 20.04. With this version everything has worked correctly. Pulseaudio recognizes the HDMI connection. The Bluetooth works correctly.
Now I am in doubt whether to wait a while until updating to version 22.04 or to do it now.

Thanks

Audio Kubuntu Version 20.04 vs 22.04

Hi.
In the end I decided to upgrade from Kubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 and now everything works fine.
There is a hardware detection or configuration problem on a clean install of 22.04. I guess in the future they will be able to fix it.

Thank you very much for support
