I have just installed 20.04 on a 60GB partition of the SSD alongside windows and Ubuntu-18.04.
I did the Update and 309-Upgrades. Everything is good except the sound. I only get Mono and a pretty scratchy version of that when I assign the Sound (Settings > Sound) to the HDMI monitor.
When assigned to the Internal card I get good-Stereo but at very low volume even with the "over-amplification" cranked full.
I rebooted to u18 and the sound is perfect via the HDMI source.
I did some searching and found stuff to try
user@Flex-5:~$ sudo lspci | grep Audio
04:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 1637
04:00.5 Multimedia controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Raven/Raven2/FireFlight/Renoir Audio Processor (rev 01)
04:00.6 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller
user@Flex-5:~$ pulseaudio --start
I assumed Pulse Audio started as there was no error message, but still only tinny-Mono sound.
ETA: Found this page Pulse-removal and while I have not done anything suggested there, I checked the
sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio
Folder and there is no mention of Pulse Audio in the list of files therein. Not sure if that means anything.
Can someone please help me out here?
