Description prat 2026-01-30 14:00:06 UTC
So I upgraded via terminal recently (sudo dnf upgrade), and since then I seem to have lost my speaker sound on Fedora 43.

I tried booting through previous kernels, but the same problem persists.

I also tried (sudo dnf upgrade --refresh) to update alsa as per another suggestion, but that did not help either.

Note that when I plug in earphones, I can hear sound through them. It seems like a problem with the speaker.

There’s nothing wrong with the speakers, since they play audio when I boot into my other distro (CachyOS).

I am posting the results of inxi -F below.




Reproducible: Always
