That’s how it happens on my laptop sometimes exactly. No devices available after boot (except microphone sometimes, which then disappears), programs which want audio hang badly.

You all need to provide as much information as possible. Use phind.com and google.com to find out what output might help us. If you want to solve the problem, you are the responsible to find out.

i was getting audio then it stoped before i posted it and my second screen stoped working when i first boot both screens work and when i log in, my second screen stops working

But after reboot, sound stops working again and I have to delete again the configs and restart pulseaudio. However even with this method, my bluetooth speakers still don’t work… I had no issues with audio before the last 7days .

I have the same problem. This is a new install of Fedora 38 on a Lenova Yoga 7 14ITL5, attached to a pair of monitors (via HDMI connected to a StarTech.com TB3DKM2HDL Thunderbolt docking station). Immediately after the installation was complete, the sound worked, as expected. However, after running updates from the Software app and rebooting, only the sound directly from the laptop’s processor (Speaker - Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound…) works. The sound through my monitors with the attached speakers (HDMI/DisplayPort 1/2 Output) does not function.

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

I would also like to point out that the way I turn on my laptop is specific, kind of. I turn it on and close the lid, as I use it with an external monitor and peripherals. I noticed that I have a higher chance of audio working if the lid is left open during boot and before login screen.

the system is in some dirty state that prevents it to reboot properly, waiting for bluetooth.service to die without success. I’m in this state right now and this is a screenshot from Gnome Settings

Hi Jared. We’re going to need a lot more information in order to help. What is the hardware? Was it working before? Is this an upgrade or a new install?

I can trigger explicitly the problem if I try changing the the bluetooth codec. Just trying to change it sends the system in this funky state.

Current boot had sound working, so I’ll add dmesg output after I see it happening again (will attempt to restart a few times later)

new install, before updating i could here sound when i change to up the volume, i didnet test youtube, i installed then updated.

Read my answer carefully. Also please use the code block. Don’t forget to check the arch wiki. Journalctl systemctl -l --no-pager --user status pipewire

I didn’t remember the troublesearch commands for journalctl pulseaudio for a long time because I didn’t get any errors, and these are the ones I can find at the moment: journalctl -b -xb | grep pipewire and

It’s your responsibility to investigate further and focus on finding the exact bug, please don’t stop researching. You will eventually find and fix this problem.

Please let me know what other information I can provide to have this issue resolved. It did not occur on 37 if I remember correctly.

How it occurs: System boots, sound icon is not visible during login screen. After login the system may or may not display the sound selection icon and volume slider, but when going into settings only one of my outputs is on the list and it promptly disappears when clicking off the menu.

I suggest you look at the use of journalctl in the search engines I have provided and do some research on the problem. Also try using pavucontrol first, then look for pulseaudio issues. Arch wiki or fedora wiki can help with this. Do not forget to write the solutions you applied here. I hope I have helped.

I’ve just experienced a variation of the problem (commonly experienced, as well) in which there is no sound from any sound device, as there are no sound devices found. I’ve noticed that, when this happens, the Firefox browser hangs whenever an attempt is made to open a shortcut. I have no idea why those would be related, except that there may be some stalled service responsible for both effects. I resolved this problem by restarting but noticed that the restart takes a VERY long time (again, possibly due to some stalled service).
