No audio - pulsemixer Dummy Output after kernel update 6.1.12-1-lts: Module snd_hda_intel_codec not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.12-1-lts

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Likely: but I’m not an expert, so I just did as suggested by joekamprad ‘Der Doktor’ on Aug 22 in No sound from front audio jack - #14 by joekamprad who wrote:

try this in terminal:

sudo modprobe snd_hda_codec
sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel
sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel_codec
and see if you have any change on dummy device to another codec

BTW: I really appreciate your help, so, if I don’t bother you, I’d focus on this:

  1. I didn’t touch/change anything on my Linux sound system - neither software, nor hardware: this failure has appeared with kernel 6.[12,14].1[-lts]. Hence my initial thinking about GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT params;

  2. I’ve made a little script generating these 10 logs:

  • sudo modinfo soundcore
  • sudo alsa-info.sh --stdout
  • pacman -Qs alsa
  • pacman -Qs pulseaudio
  • pacman -Qs pipewire
  • uname -a
  • inxi -Aa
  • inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
  • neofetch --off --stdout
  • pulsemixer -l

Glad to post any of them, if you think it can help.

Thanks, Piero
