Only dummy audio on laptop when updating from Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10

My laptop doesn't recognize my sound card and have only dummy audio. When running inxi -A I get this:

Audio:
  Device-1: Intel Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio driver: N/A
  Device-2: NVIDIA GP107GL High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
  Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.19.0-21-generic running: yes
  Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.58 running: yes

I tried suggested solutions, like installing WirePlumber or restarting PulseAudio, but they don't work.

link to a thread on linux.org with the same problem

systemctl --user enable pulseaudio

systemctl --user start pulseaudio

I had the same problem and followed the steps from the link.

No sound output devices listed after upgrade from 21.10 to 22.04

I had the same problem and followed the steps from the above link

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

Solved !!!!

Try this(if you need to auto start pulseaudio each time after reboot);

1. Remove Pipewire using sudo apt remove pipewire

2. Enable Pulseaudio using systemctl --user enable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

3. Now start pulseaudio using pulseaudio --start or systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

4. Now do a reboot.

I am running 23.04 and audio usually works, one day I booted up and there was no audio device just dummy.

$ inxi -SMA

  Sound API: ALSA v: k6.2.0-27-generic running: yes
  Sound Server-1: PipeWire v: 0.3.65 running: yes

This command fixed it for me:

systemctl --user restart pipewire.service

I had exactly the same problem but for AMD card:

Audio:
  Device-1: AMD Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
  Device-2: AMD Raven/Raven2/FireFlight/Renoir Audio Processor
    driver: snd_rn_pci_acp3x
  Device-3: AMD Family 17h HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
  Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.19.0-21-generic running: yes
  Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.58 running: yes

For me it helps to boot to the 22.04 latest kernel

Linux tsebo-T14 5.15.0-52-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 13 08:03:55 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After booting ubuntu with 5.15.0-52-generic, sound drivers are back and working as expected.

try this:

systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse

and check if you have file: /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d

if no such file then reinstall this:

sudo apt --reinstall install pipewire-media-session

Thanks Jurij Pitulja, this works for me

systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse

sudo apt --reinstall install pipewire-media-session
