I noticed that this has to do with the driver that gets selected for the audio controller.
On kernel 6.5 I get this in lspci -v: 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation CM238 HD Audio Controller (rev 31) (prog-if 80) Subsystem: Dell CM238 HD Audio Controller Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 32, IRQ 151 Memory at edd28000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Memory at edd00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_avs On kernel 6.8 it is this: 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation CM238 HD Audio Controller (rev 31) (prog-if 80) Subsystem: Dell CM238 HD Audio Controller Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 32, IRQ 159, IOMMU group 13 Memory at edd28000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Memory at edd00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: snd_soc_avs Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_avs And sometimes when booting with kernel 6.8 the sound works, and then I get the similar output to kernel 6.5: 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation CM238 HD Audio Controller (rev 31) (prog-if 80) Subsystem: Dell CM238 HD Audio Controller Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 32, IRQ 159, IOMMU group 13 Memory at edd28000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Memory at edd00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_avs I don't really know why this happens, but I shall see if I can make kernel 6.8/alsa to prefer snd_hda_intel (or figure why it isn't using snd_hda_intel). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062985 Title: ALSA Fails to detect any devices with kernel 6.8.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2062985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
