I'm a new Linux user, Windows 10 refugee. Everything is working well except for audio in my Ubuntu installation. As the title says, in the audio settings, the only audio option is "Dummy Output". When I try pavucontrol, the audio choices are all listed as "unplugged" "unavailable". I've tried many fixes, such as restarting alsa and going into alsamixer. But nothing I try has worked.
I've got an AMD® Fx(tm)-6300 six-core processor and a Radeon RX550/550 Series graphics card. I use the headphone jack on my monitor to get audio.
here's the output of hwinfo --sound
