Dummy Output

Post by kemosaf »

I have been struggling to play any sort of audio, whenever i open sound settings, I see dummy output as the only output, and there are NO inputs at all! This isn't a hardware issue at all, I have dual boot on and it works perfectly on Windows 11.

I tried rebooting and many things. I can only play audio through a Bluetooth speaker, but I'd like to use my mic and actual headset.

Welcome to the forum, kemosaf.

The LM20.2 Release notes indicate:
Sound and microphone issues

If you're facing issues with your microphone or your sound output, please install "pavucontrol".

This will add "PulseAudio Volume Control" to your menu. This application has more configuration options than the default volume control.
Maybe that will help you to troubleshoot this issue.
