No audio after upgrade to 22.10

Today morning I did an upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10. However, after the upgrade I've noticed that there is no audio output from my device. I did a reboot and then the internet stopped working. However, there was an additional device called dummy network in nmcli device which I removed to get the internet back and running.

To fix audio, whenever I visited sound settings there were no output devices except there was only an option named dummy output.

I thought it would be something with pulse audio, hence I used systemctl --user start pulseaudio to enable sound. But the problem is, I have to do it manually after each reboot.

Can somebody help me to get pulseaudio to start automatically upon startup?

Output for systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service;

○ pulseaudio.service - Sound Service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service; enabled; preset:>
     Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ○ pulseaudio.socket

Just as a test look and see in grub when you boot under advance options what kernels are available.

5.19.0-23 and 5.15.0-52

OK so on boot choose the 5.15 kernel and see if the problems persist.

I suggest then filing a bug report. https://ubuntu.com/blog/the-keys-to-successful-bug-reporting

@David Yeah I will report it. But the most annoying fact is I have to start `pulseaudio` every time I reboot, but once its started it does not stop no matter how many time I kill it.

I've found the issue.

According to a new article by fosshub, under features of the new Ubuntu 22.10 it states that; Pipewire is introduced as the default audio server

Hence pulseaudio was replaced by pipewire after the upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10.

So I simply removed pipewire using;

sudo apt remove pipewire

And then I enabled both pulseaudio.service and pulseaudio.socket using

systemctl --user --now enable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

In my case it was already enabled. I just had to start it, to start pulse audio

systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service
systemctl --user start pulseaudio.socket

pulseaudio --start

Now it automatically starts after log in.

I had to reboot, but that's the only solution that worked, after upgrading Kubuntu from 22.04 to 22.10. Thanks so much for helping and sharing mate

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
