Audio output stopped working after system update

General system Newbie
1

Hello, thank you for reading my post.

I’ve installed EndeavourOS with Gnome and KDE a few weeks ago, and was working fine until I ran a system update.
Now, I can not hear anything even though there seems to be no problems with the audio devices. Input is working fine.

This is actually the second time I’ve ran into this problem.
When I first installed Endeavour, I only installed with the Gnome Desktop, and at that time, no audio worked at all. So, I reinstalled with both GNOME and KDE, and audio was working fine.

I do not know much about how sound works, so I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me.
Please let me know which info I can provide.

Here’s what happens when I run dmesg |grep audio.

Are you using pipewire and pipewire-media-session or wireplumber or still pulseaudio without pipewire?

inxi -Aa
would show some info…
and
pacman -Qs pipewire
pacman -Qs pulse

what if you simply try to disable HDMI audio devices here? (putting them to “off”)
As this one is the one you want to use?

screwed that…

you have internal sof-audio-pci-intel-cnl and one audio from Nvidia card snd_hda_intel
and the nvidia one does not show up at all in your settings…

could you show configuration tab?

Oh, it really was the configuration tab.

I set the profile and it was fixed. Thank you so much!
