If pipewire is used, and wireplumber isn't already on the machine it's time to install it and allow the install to remove a soon deprecated pipewire-media-manager package. That may help. If pulseaudio is used could be pulseaudio --cleanup-shm needs doing. In either case, I'd first run alsactl init then amixer set Master 100% unmute and check volume levels. If good alsactl store may also help or throw an error. Perhaps plug a headset into the onboard sound card and listen to see if it's doing anything at all before doing any of this so you have a baseline. Somehow the card could have got disabled. This is why I bought a crystal cs usb sound card I can plug into a usb-a port and still have sound no matter what the computer thinks it's doing. Saved my bacon a few times.
You could also be having jackd problems in which case I can't help you since I haven't the necessary jackd degree. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
