No sound after OS installation
by sox from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6N560)
Hello,
Few days ago I made a fresh install of kubuntu 24 lts and I do not have sound, there is notification no output or input devices found.
I have tried many tricks found on websites, like re/installing pulse, alsa, pipewire, modyfying grub, but none of them helped a little, pulse still shows dummy output. I also checked few other current distros like fedora, neon, mx or older kubuntu 22 in live mode and all of them have the same issue.
How to troubleshoot this issue?
BTW bluetooth headset works fine.
