It's done.

I didn't check for the existence of any conf files for the sound - I just applied your line of code. Sorry.

This time, I did check through file manager.

Now, I have in Alsamixer:

Card 1 = sof-soundwire; chip = Intel Alderlake-P HDMI
Card 0 = HDA NVidia; Chip = Nvidia GPU 9f HDMI/DP

I know I ...

Hi H-F,

thank you so much for the wishes re Christmas - that was very kind of you, particularly as you're working your heart out to help me with this.

I am not getting frustrated at all, just curious and interested in what we're doing, and more than a little amazed at the process which I'm sure ...

Does it now show ...

the contents of "Chip": PulseAudio
"Card" is also PulseAudio

I was considering moving to Pipewire purely because in my MX-19-KDE on a previous laptop, the audio became somewhat problematic towards the end.

Might this be worth trying, and attempting to fix that if it misbehaves.

Also, I ...

Thanks, I'll try this reset next:

Code: Select all

rm -r ~/.config/pulse

Reboot (or Logout, Login ) will reset Pulseaudio settings to defaults.

Thanks for your further suggestion - I appreciate it. I'm sorry to take so long to reply: time zone difference here in Australia.

I tried Alsamixer several times, and again no success. Checked for muted items - I fell for that on my previous installation (older laptop) and was looking out for it ...
