linux mint 22.3 dummy sound only Intel NUC 7

Audio output is enabled in the BIOS, it's all unmuted, but Pulseaudio doesn't offer the built-in speaker option (earphones in my case). As a matter of fact, when I launch an audio file I can see that the NUC is processing the sound correctly (I can see the levels moving with the sound).

[SOLVED] No HDMI audio on Linux Mint 20.2 or 20.3. 10th gen Intel Nuc core i7 10710U with UHD Graphics. - Linux Mint Forums

However, this time I don't seem to find the same issue anywhere. So here is my first post here: I'm a "lucky" owner of a Intel NUC 10i7 with no audio codec, so my alternatives are both an external USB DAC or the 3.5mm jack of my monitor, using audio over HDMI.

Tried everything and cannot get sound to work on new linux mint

No expert on Linux, but comparing my outputs to yours makes me think, that your audio chipset is actually unsupported by the kernel. This extra line about "Kernel drivers in use", that you don't have, is making me think that. 00:1f.3 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake High Definition Audio Controller [8086:7a50] (rev 11) DeviceName: Intel HD Audio Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

[MSI] TU104 HD Audio Controller [1462:3722] Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel Also your "sof-hda-dsp" audio device still includes 3x HDMI for some reason? (Might be normal) Did you have an option to install additional drivers via drivers tool? If not check your mainboards manufacturers website for Linux drivers. pulseaudio not running should be ok for LM 22, it's not doing so for me either, though I am not on LM any more.

intel nuc skull canyon no audio with dual boot Win/Linux

I understand you're only using the audio jack to speakers, but are you using any other bluetooth headsets or such? And are you using the back or the front audio jack? I have a skull canyon running Mint and sometimes I notice it looses track of my audio output device, so I have to set it in the audio preferences every now and then. More on reddit.com

No sound, Mint 20.3 on NUC ( SOLVED ) - Linux Mint Forums

March 15, 2022 - I don't know by now, why you have no sound (you seem to have only HDMI), but to answer your question: The command cat /proc/asound/cards shows your only sound card HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH. The command aplay -l shows the playback devices of your sound card, in your case only HDMI.

[SOLVED] No sound, audio control just lists the dummy output - Linux Mint Forums

Apologies for the holiday related delays! Installing Linux Mint 22.04 fixed the sound problem, but unfortunately not the more acute issues with the GUI. The mouse is severely lagging and responses to my clicks are delayed, sometimes more than a minute. Something curious: when I use the terminal, the text output is laggy also.

Fix No Sound (Dummy Output) Issue In Ubuntu With SND HDA Intel - Linux Uprising Blog

March 18, 2021 - I'll explain how to check if you're running this as well, below (step 0). I only had to use this fix in Ubuntu, but I assume it works in other Linux distributions too. At least, it should also solve similar issues in Linux Mint, elementary OS and probably Debian as well (but it should apply to many other Linux distributions though I can't test that).

Linux noob on LM22.1 and a razer blade 16. I am a techie just not at the OS level and I have tried for the past month to troubleshoot my sound issues to no avail. Ive researched, asked LLMs, reset, purged rebooted, whatever. Absolutely nothing is working. Every time I need sound I need to boot back into windows. I would love for someone to help, and will provide whatever terminal output thats needed
