Will Pulseaudio Ever Work Again?
by Mark7 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5SXKS)
It's been nearly 2 years since I've been able to listen to anything on my HP Elitebook 8460P laptop over wired headphones or the internal speakers (yes, I know, who uses the internal speakers on a laptop to listen to anything?). I'd like to be able to use pulseaudio with the inbuilt soundcard/chip, especially as many of the audio apps available for Linux seem to need it.
For the record here's the output of aplay -l
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

This is an alsa command, right? I've not yet come across an equivalent one for Pulse.

Pavucontrol/Configuration only has Digital Stereo (HMDI) options in the dropdown menu (all unavailable). I've no idea what HDMI is but I do know it isn't what I was using before everything Pulse related went to Hell in a handcart (that was Analog Stereo Duplex).
I thought upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 to 21.10 might solve the issue. But, no :(
