Are you sure you have enabled, unmuted, the controls in all the places that control it? I recall my first install. I think I had to unmute the sound in three places before I had sound. I seem to recall at least these possibilities in more recent memory. Kmix if using KDE, ALSA, possibly pipewire which is kinda new and I'm not sure what desktops use or don't use it. You could have pulseaudio as well. Jack I think is another one but never used it so not sure. Of course, there could be others as well. The bad thing is, it only takes one to disable the sound. The upgrade could have triggered something. Also, make sure you run the tool to update config changes, just in case it has something waiting and is needed. That may or may not help but thought it worth a mention. Just in case.;-) Thanks for the quick response. Everything is unmuted, verified with amixerr and even alsamixer. This is just in a virtual console, no gui involved.
