Audio Issue on Kubuntu 26.04 LTS: Resolute Racoon

Sorry, I won’t do this piecemeal; it’s exhausting, quite frankly. :roll_eyes: All the info needed on how to go about debugging this has already been laid out above; scroll up, if you have to. There are also some still unanswered questions there, so if you want further assistance, how about you assist in providing the info requested.

You can also try a newer PipeWire version, in case there’s bug that has already been fixed upstream; you can even do that in the live session. Step 2 can be condensed into this:

sudo apt upgrade --update

which should pick up the newer versions of PipeWire/WirePlumber etc. Skip step 3; it’s no longer necessary with 26.04.

If that solves your issue, you should report a bug, and consider the PPA version a temporary stopgap, to be purged when the bug will be fixed in Ubuntu proper:

sudo apt install ppa-purge

Are your internal speakers Bang & Olufsen?

If so, here is some info

hdajackretask seems popular

Plenty of other sites have advice about these speakers.

I can’t test it myself but if you send me your PC, I’ll happily give it a go

:wink:

My bad! Uh, I was able to get alsamixer (it said that “Headphones” was muted, so I made sure to unmute it just in case) working, but pavucontrol was weird. It said in Konsole that pavucontrol wasn’t installed, and yet when I tried to run sudo apt install pavucontrol, it said that it was unable to locate the package, so I just decided to just not go to pavucontrol for this anyway.

Also, I did run the systemctl ... command again, and this is what I got:

I notice that now it says that “some node was destroyed before the link was created”. This must be PipeWire related, because right below that, it says that “1 out of 1 PipeWire links failed to activate”

I did run sudo apt upgrade --update on Konsole in the live session, but when I tested my sound after, it still didn’t work.

What do you mean “Bang & Olufsen”? Could you explain more about that? How would I be able to tell if my internal speakers are Bang & Olufsen?

That’s because it isn’t in a Kubuntu live session, I guess. I don’t know what the KDE equivalent is, if any.

First, you need to update the package cache, which is empty in a freshly started live session:

sudo apt install --update pavucontrol

should do the trick.

That’s the same error as in the native session; so the good news is, that it probably wasn’t your doing. The bad news is, there must be a bug somewhere.

You really need to read more carefully! That command was meant as a shortcut for step 2 of the linked PPA install guide. It did update the package cache alright – so you could have run that sudo apt install pavucontrol again and it would have worked that time – but not much else happened by because there were no relevant package updates.

I think you should boot your regular native installation and do the PPA thing. But regardless of the outcome, you should file a bug report against the wireplumber package:

ubuntu-bug wireplumber

That will automatically collect relevant system information and attach it to the report on Launchpad.
It’s probably best to report the bug before installing packages from that PPA, to keep the attached info clean. If the PPA version does fix your issue, all the better; just amend the bug report accordingly – the maintainer will thank you for it.

Wait a minute, could this be some driver issue? Best make sure it’s not before filing a bug report:

sudo ubuntu-drivers install

A quick internet search provided the info that your PC may have B & O speakers.
Bang & Olufsen are designers/manufacturers of premium sound systems.
See here

Your PC manual?

Alternatively, install inxi

sudo apt install inxi
inxi -Aa

This isn’t some sort of driver issue, because when I ran sudo ubuntu-drivers install, I got this:

Warning: Your running kernel (7.0.0-15-generic) is outdated. A newer kernel (7.0.0-22-generic) is available in the Ubuntu archives. Please run 'sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade' to update your system.
All the available drivers are already installed.

I know it says that my kernel is outdated, but I don’t think updating the kernel will help me here. I’m also currently drafting the bug report.

Here is my output for inxi -Aa:

I don’t think I have B & O speakers, because I see no mention of them in the output.

Perhaps, the inxi output is not as comprehensive as anticipated?

Try this one

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep -i "codec"
  • If you still have Windows 10/11 installed, there may be something in System Summary?
  • Use HP support to establish the full specification (model no. and serial no. required)

The cat … command gave me this:

Codec: Realtek ALC225
Codec: Intel Kabylake HDMI

And I’m assuming you want the model no. and serial no. of my PC too, right?

In all the answers I have found behind this (fixed[1]) link, there are no pretty names like “Bang & Olufson”, not even close. Maybe searching for the driver module names in the journal will reveal some errors.
Run this after trying to play audio, so we know that the drivers have been accessed.

journalctl --no-pager -b -g '(snd.)?(hda.intel|soc.avs|sof.pci.intel.cnl)'

(updated search regular expression, b/c sometimes it’s snd_* and other times it’s snd-* and sometimes the snd prefix is ommited, apparently)

It’s generally a good idea to list all errors since boot:

journalctl --no-pager -b -p err

(try -p warning if there’s still nothing conclusive, but the listing can be quite long)
It’s best to pipe such commands directly into the system clipboard, like so:

journalctl -b -p warning | wl-copy

(--no-pager is unnecessary that way)

I ran journalctl --no-pager -b -g '(snd.)?(hda.intel|soc.avs|sof.pci.intel.cnl)', and I got this:

I restarted my computer too; I then switched ports to the internal speakers (now that I’m thinking about it, I should’ve unplugged my external speakers) and entered that command.

As for journalctl --no-pager -b -p err, I got this:

I see this:

snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Applying patch firmware 'hda-jack-retask.fw'

And I see no “Internal Speakers” among “Front Headphone” and “Mic”, which looks like a case closed. You should have undone that jack retasking long ago.

What’s the output of this?

journalctl --no-pager -kb

And this:

grep -r '' /etc/modprobe.d/

It must’ve been that the jack retasking has done more harm than good then. Also, the Konsole output for journalctl --no-pager -kb was so long that I couldn’t even send my reply without using Ubuntu Pastebin.

Here’s my output for it.

As for the output of grep -r ‘’ /etc/modprobe.d/, I got this:

I really hope that there’s something useful in these outputs, because these are quite long.

Possibly unrelated, but during my search just now, I found this website, and it matches my situation scarily accurate; an HP Pavilion xa model from 2018, with everything seeming fine, but internal speakers don’t work yet external ones do. However, I’m not interested in following this blog’s steps, because I have already went down this route, and I’m not wishing to change paths this late.

Before I go into anything else, you should know that Ubuntu Pastebin is in the process of being decommissioned rather soon.

Wait, what? Why?! It’s actually useful! I hope there’s some replacement service!

To be fair, the UI looks dated, so I probably should’ve realized that.

I’ve seen that too, and it’s eerily resembling this very thread, with some minor differences, so I’m inclined to suspect that someone let an LLM loose to write that stuff; it’s a bit too prosaic. It even copied my mistake about the race condition and the false fix for it. :rofl:
Lo and behold, it’s the first match on DDG when searching for this very topic title.

One thing you have probably not tried until now is model=alc225-hp, which, fittingly enough for “Ai” “hallucinations”, doesn’t even exist.

That’s probably one of your additions, I take it.

But this definitely is the work of hdajackretask:

/etc/modprobe.d/hda-jack-retask.conf:# This file was added by the program 'hda-jack-retask'.
/etc/modprobe.d/hda-jack-retask.conf:# If you want to revert the changes made by this program, you can simply erase this file and reboot your computer.
/etc/modprobe.d/hda-jack-retask.conf:options snd-hda-intel patch=hda-jack-retask.fw,hda-jack-retask.fw,hda-jack-retask.fw,hda-jack-retask.fw

Fix it:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/hda-jack-retask.conf
sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf{.save,}
sudo update-initramfs -kall -u

That should (un)do it. Run it an reboot, with external speakers unplugged. And then go through all alsamixer-gui sliders, especially “PCM”, “Master”, “Line Out” an mute buttons for that card; toggle the mute switches at least twice for a final unmuted state.

If it still doesn’t work, you’ll at least have a sane config again, because model=hp has nothing to do with HP, the company, and everything to do with headphones, for instance.


Acutally, make that a cold boot after resetting firmware state: power down the machine, unplug the power cord and press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Perhaps some of the firmware hackery does survive a reboot, possibly in some limbo state. If you dual boot Windows make sure to disable “Fast Startup” there too.


And before I forget this again, you should see if there’s a UEFI update for your machine. Sometimes a newer kernel touches features it didn’t even know existed yet, and all too often that exposes a latent bug in the firmware, hence the long list of kernel quirks.

That, and the fact that it is riddled with ads; the worst part is that enabling an adblocker means you can’t even read the website without getting a popup to disable the adblocker. I had to bypass it by using the Firefox Reader View.

I’m assuming you mean to mute the switches, and then unmute them again using alsamixer, correct?
