No audio on a fresh install

if headset is working – it could be 2 things internal speaker is muted… or it is disabled .

alsamixer in terminal can help on see if a channel is muted … the easy way…
And check pavucontrol config tab…

for disabled devices…

logs show also some issues… i am not sure… but currently there are a lot users complaining about audio issues… in most cases resetting configs do work…

moving used configs out of the way for pipewire-media-session:

mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/original-pulse
mv ~/.local/share/state/pipewire ~/.local/share/state/orginal-pipewire

or if wireplumber is used the state files are different:

mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/original-pulse
mv ~/.local/state/wireplumber  ~/.local/state/original-wireplumber

and reboot…
