After a fresh install of LMDE 6 I have no sound.
If someone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. I have issues starting form a fresh install from USB.

Looks like I'll be using LMDE 5

After a fresh install of LMDE 6 I have no sound.

It's helpful to provide your system information.

From what you did provide, it seems you may have a computer that falls in the realm of what was seen in Linux Mint main edition computers BEEP with Intel Atom/Celeron/Pentium Computers. There was sound for them, but then they would hear screeching. That was with the 5.15 kernel.

The leap from LMDE 5 to LMDE 6 would have moved you from kernel 5.10 to 6.1 and may have taken you completely from sound to no sound rather than sound to screechy sound. See if the kernel parameter mentioned in that section helps you. If you need more instructions, just let us know.

These lines are what I noticed in your output that makes me think you may have similar hardware.

My first forum post. I upgraded from LMDE 5 to LMDE 6 and ... NO SOUND but found a SOLUTION
No sound applet in panel despite it being installed. Removing and adding gave a background flash on screen.

Delete folder.config/pulse then reboot.

I found this SOLUTION on Linux Mint Forums - [SOLVED] No sound after updating to LMDE 5 Elsie

On my machine, sound is working again. I do not know if it is related, but I deleted the folder
.config/pulse
Even though a kill and (automatic) restart of pulseaudio right afterwards did not change the situation, a reboot afterwards did. "

This worked for me on LMDE 6 and restored applet. Thanks to Joysn71 and I hope it works for others

I had no sound, in LMDE6, but it fixed itself?

Under sound settings I have two select-able outputs that align with the two sound outputs of my motherboard, HDMI & s/pdif (AKA optical). For some reason Mint mainline always defaulted to the s/pdif, on fresh install I had to go into sound setting and select HDMI where my monitors speakers are. and then it would just stay that way.


In LMDE6 Evey time I opened it the the s/pdif (AKA optical) output was selected, of course there are no speakers there. I kept opening and selecting HDMI until it finally stuck, no idea why that finally worked or why it did not work at first.

I should probably go in the bios and see if that s/pdif output that I am not using can be disabled, that should remove it from the sound settings.

I had a similar problem with LMDE5. When I upgraded to 6, I had sound till I did the first update, now no sound again. I am using a USB sound card, but that is a poor solution, since it only provides Mono audio. LSPCI finds the Intel audio, but evidently the kernel no longer recognizes it.
