[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.

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 audio output from 3.5 jack on Intel NUC - Linux Mint Forums
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 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.

Here are some outputs. Unsure of what the error means on the last one since pulseaudio isnt used (?) in new linux mint editions

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. Device [1043:87fb] Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel -- 01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation TU104 HD Audio Controller [10de:10f8] (rev a1) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [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.

No expert but from the uname -a results at the start, it seems the system thinks you have 2 possible audio output devices. The Intel one and your Nvidia one. Do you know which one Windows uses? At the moment it seems to be using your Nvidia audio, not the Intel. That could be the issue. Alternatively if it is the Nvidia Windows uses, and it's the one that should be being used, try Nvidia hardware settings to make sure proprietary drives are sorted. Usually there's a few options to choose from. Alternatively, as someone else said, often this can be a kernel issue. Try installing and using a newer kernel.
