Hi,
In a new install of Fedora-33 I have no audio. It appears that PA has no
input when viewing the pa volume display.
[bobg@Workstation-2 ~]$ aplay /home/bobg/apps/audio/login.wav
ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect:
Connection refused
aplay: main:830: audio open error: Connection refused
For whatever reason the pa volume shows audio set for HDMI and my audio
is coming from the motherboard speaker j=output. The same connection
always worked with Fedora-32 and earlier ...
Am I the only one seeing this and what can I do to fix it?
I am experiencing similar issues in Fedora 33 (I performed a fresh install as well).
Occasionally, my system has no audio (with pulseaudio that is unable to connect), and to get it back I have to run these commands:
$ pulseaudio --kill
$ pulseaudio --start
I suspect that the problem could be ascribed to the desktop environment that I am using (i.e., Cinnamon), as every time I tried to use Gnome I didn't experience that problem.
There were no such problems in Fedora 32.
My audio interface is integrated in my laptop's motherboard.
Best regards,
Marco
