sound blaster live no sound, pipewire, alsa, with today's updates I have no sound from hdmi.I think the component is alsa-lib From the forum post. I have the Sound Blaster Z. I did try installing Alsamixer, I think pipewire it sort of worked for a bit but not anymore. Please. Kernel Version: 6.12.4-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) I have the alsa-info file. I see the volume slider and when I play audio I see the bar move but no sound. volume I also tried to reinstall alsa and pipewire. I checked the Alsamixer for the channels 5.1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Login into Fedora and I try playing music with sound blaster selected 2.There is no sound, but I see the equalizer bar move 3.I tried installing pipewire, alsa mixer, searching for fixes. 4. Today, I rebooted and the hdmi graphic card sound doesn't work. Actual Results: no sound. The sound works in Windows 10. Expected Results: the sound to work. I did a search in the bugzilla and found a sound blaster issue from 2018,a recent Bug 2298658 and Bug 2333877 that might be related, please I posted on a forum and I did some logs you can see in the url which I have pasted here: inxi -Aa Audio: Device-1: Intel 7 Series/C216 Family High Definition Audio vendor: ASUSTeK driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus-ID: 00:1b.0 chip-ID: 8086:1e20 class-ID: 0403 Device-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Oland/Hainan/Cape Verde/Pitcairn HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 7000 Series] vendor: Gigabyte driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel pcie: gen: 3 speed: 8 GT/s lanes: 16 bus-ID: 01:00.1 chip-ID: 1002:aab0 class-ID: 0403 Device-3: Creative Labs CA0132 Sound Core3D [Sound Blaster Recon3D / Z-Series BlasterX AE-5 Plus] driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel pcie: gen: 1 speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 1 bus-ID: 06:00.0 chip-ID: 1102:0012 class-ID: 0403 Device-4: Jieli USB PHY 2.0 driver: snd-usb-audio,uvcvideo type: USB rev: 2.0 speed: 480 Mb/s lanes: 1 mode: 2.0 bus-ID: 1-1.4.1.1:8 chip-ID: 1224:2a25 class-ID: 0102 API: ALSA v: k6.12.5-200.fc41.x86_64 status: kernel-api tools: alsactl,alsamixer,amixer Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.2.7 status: active with: 1: pipewire-pulse status: active 2: pipewire-media-session status: active 3: pipewire-alsa type: plugin 4: pw-jack type: plugin tools: pactl,pw-cat,pw-cli systemctl --user status pipewire* wireplumber* ● pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; disabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service.d └─00-uresourced.conf /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: active (running) since Sat 2024-12-21 20:29:20 EST; 2min 15s ago Invocation: f6fad751006b4b8c89ae9417ed17e36a TriggeredBy: ● pipewire.socket Main PID: 1681 (pipewire) Tasks: 3 (limit: 38118) Memory: 7.3M (peak: 7.8M) CPU: 215ms CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user/session.slice/pipewire.service └─1681 /usr/bin/pipewire Dec 21 20:29:20 DESKTOP systemd[1410]: Started pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service. ● pipewire.socket - PipeWire Multimedia System Sockets Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.socket; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2024-12-21 20:29:19 EST; 2min 15s ago Invocation: c2ae4b82e7014b749d0d6fb54a18322e Triggers: ● pipewire.service Listen: /run/user/1000/pipewire-0 (Stream) /run/user/1000/pipewire-0-manager (Stream) CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user/app.slice/pipewire.socket Dec 21 20:29:19 DESKTOP systemd[1410]: Listening on pipewire.socket - PipeWire Multimedia System Sock> ● pipewire-media-session.service - PipeWire Media Session Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-media-session.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: active (running) since Sat 2024-12-21 20:29:20 EST; 2min 15s ago Invocation: d536e179c3664ee0b0c91b381b16aebf Main PID: 1682 (pipewire-media-) Tasks: 3 (limit: 38118) Memory: 4.7M (peak: 5.2M) CPU: 185ms CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user/session.slice/pipewire-media-session.service └─1682 /usr/bin/pipewire-media-session Dec 21 20:29:20 DESKTOP systemd[1410]: Started pipewire-media-session.service - PipeWire Media Sessio> Dec 21 20:29:20 DESKTOP pipewire-media-session[1682]: spa.bluez5: BlueZ system service is not availab> ● pipewire-pulse.service - PipeWire PulseAudio Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.service; disabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: active (running) since Sat 2024-12-21 20:29:20 EST; 2min 15s ago Invocation: d7867f77f7654d68a2644b6c7664ba05 TriggeredBy: ● pipewire-pulse.socket Main PID: 1685 (pipewire-pulse) Tasks: 3 (limit: 38118) Memory: 3.8M (peak: 4.9M) CPU: 40ms CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user/session.slice/pipewire-pulse.service └─1685 /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse Dec 21 20:29:20 DESKTOP systemd[1410]: Started pipewire-pulse.service - PipeWire PulseAudio. ● pipewire-pulse.socket - PipeWire PulseAudio Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.socket; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2024-12-21 20:29:19 EST; 2min 16s ago Invocation: fe481dba76194c788f412e0012df5b9c Triggers: ● pipewire-pulse.service Listen: /run/user/1000/pulse/native (Stream) CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user/app.slice/pipewire-pulse.socket Dec 21 20:29:19 DESKTOP systemd[1410]: Listening on pipewire-pulse.socket - PipeWire PulseAudio.
