Description Peter Nunn 2023-08-23 01:04:42 UTC
SUMMARY
I'm unsure when this occurred, but sound was working fine under my NEON setup until recently (I suspect an upgrade broke something).

QT: 5.14.10

Graphics Platform (both Wayland and X11 have the same issue).

The sound devices still show up under the sound options
HDIM/ DisplayPort 1 Output (sof-hda-dsp HDMI / DisplayPort 1 Output)
Speaker (sof-hda-dsp Speaker + Headphones)

This is the same as when working.  Selecting either of these output devices produces absolutely nothing.

A bluetooth speaker does work.

Input devices seem to be functioning OK.

the log has  a lot of these

I can find no mention of pipewire anything in systemctl.

Sound was working recently on both internal speaker on the laptop and HDMI.

Comment 1 Carlos De Maine 2025-09-20 09:35:36 UTC
Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
