I had PulseAudio and Pipewire installed. I uninstalled PipeWire and now my

Hi Timothy!

These are a few things to check

- run alsamixer in console as your user and check that needed channels 
are not muted and volume levels are high enough

- be sure that you use one of these - PulseAudio or PipeWire (not both)
- chances for missing firmware are small for this device but Debian has 
a new section "non-free-firmware" so check output of dmesg command and 
in case of missing firmware you can add "non-free-firmware" to 
/etc/apt/sources.list (something like this)


deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free 
non-free-firmware contrib


Files containing firmware files, you can find with "apt-file" 
package/command. Example:


# apt-file search firware101.bin

Kind regards
Georgi

It is not a volume or a mute problem. KDE does not register any sound cards

Good to know.  Thanks for the info.

Have you tried;

(a) checking volume levels
because sometimes things get 'fiddled with' on update.

(b) with a new user
to try and ascertain whether it's unique to your usual
user or an across the board problem.

I upgraded to 5.27beta so far no new issues. I just installed Wayland so I
can try it out. My sound cards are still not working though.

KDE Plasma is undergoing big changes ATM.  Soon(1) Plasma 5.27beta
(2) will start transitioning to testing.  Things are going
to be sticky until everything is in sync.  That said you could, of
course, still have run into some bug or other, I couldn't say.

When large numbers of suite(3) packages start arriving in testing(4), I
usually hold off a day or two before I update in an attempt to be sure
everything upgrades in sync.  Because, as you've found out, although
things can upgrade without any apparent issue, they may leave your
desktop in an undesirable state.

That's all part of running testing, of course.  In fact, it's the reason
testing exists.

(1)  Probably tomorrow
(2)  Versioned as 4:5.26.90-1
(3)  By which I mean things like Plasma, Gnome, etc.
(4)  In this particular case KDE packages from 5.101.* to 5.102.*

Bookworm 1/28/23 updates - No Audio Devices Found

2023-01-28 Thread Timothy M Butterworth
All,

I just upgraded to the 1/28/23 updates to KF5 102 and now I have no audio
devices found. My USB headset is plugged in but KDE does not see it.

lsusb lists my USB headphones:
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 046d:0a37 Logitech, Inc. USB Headset H540

lspci lists my audio devices
04:00.5 Multimedia controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD]
ACP/ACP3X/ACP6x Audio Coprocessor (rev 01)
04:00.6 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h/19h HD
Audio Controller

This appears to be a KDE issue. Is anyone else having this problem? Please
note the problem started after installing KF5-102 and a reboot.

Thanks

Tim
