No sound out of a fresh install of Fedora 32 on a new motherboard
by starfiend from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56Q7Z)
Hi folks,
For various reasons I decided I needed to update my mobo. I went for an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max with a Ryzen 5 processor, 2x 16gb DIMMs. I also added an SSD for my boot drive. I moved the XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX from the old machine to the new, as well as a couple of older SATA drives that have my /home directory on.
On the previous motherboard, the sound just worked. I single cable plugged into the mobo going to woofer with separate left and right speakers attached to that.
On the new motherboard, there are 4 possible sockets, and none work. When I checked the sound preferences, it was showing 2:
1) Ellesmere HDMI Audio [Radeon RX 470/480 /57/580/590] - Disabled - Digital Stereo (HDMI 4) output
2) Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller - Disabled - Off
If I select the first, I can configure it off, but if I select the second, I get no option to configure it on.
I'm guessing that the first is trying to send the output to the monitor (the graphics card has no jack sockets!) but my monitor has no speakers.
I've tried googling but with no success and most places just suggest loading various pulse-audio packages, which I already have.
Can anyone advise please?
Many thanks,
Dave
