No sound on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on my new Asus Zenbook (single install not dual-boot) No sound comes out from the speakers, or the headphones jack (while in Windows sound is ok).

I previously tried with Kali-Linux and it didn’t work either. For several days I browsed similar “no sound questions”, but it didn’t work out. So now I freshly re-installed ubuntu 24.04, updated it, and installed pavucontrol, and inxi only for a fresh start.

Hoping someone can help I put some useful information below.

Thanks,

Faced same problem with ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS but this codes solved it again same problem with 24.04 it is not working

None of the ubuntu support methods working

some crazy advices suggests

option snd-hda-intel model=auto

in /etc/modprobe/alsa-base.conf at the end

and some also suggest to wipe libasound2-plugins for oss and other plugins…
apt autopurge libasound2-plugins

but guc and other Intel stuff setup maybe also needed… otherwise who knows whats broken…

@crazymhegde Hi, it seems a good tool to manage soundcards and friends is amixer (or alsamixer).
Let me know if this helps.

Got exactly the same problem.
In my case after the ubuntu installation it worked. Once I;ve plugged in my headset, the speaker from my laptop stopped working.
I’ve tried alsa, pipiwire, pulseaudio etc. none of them is working . Is there a real fix for this ?
Thank you

doesn’t work for me :frowning: any other ideas?

@atty31 So, lemme understand it better. Everything was working properly, then you plugged in the headset. Were you able to speak and listen from the headset?

Then you removed the headset and the speaker/mic from laptop were not functioning anymore?

If you plug in an headset, the standard audio setting will make it an input/output device, so it is okay if the laptop mic/speakers are not active while the headset is in.

Hi @federicarike ,
The headset works , everytime I plugged it in . Just the speaker doesn’t work anymore since than.
I can see that bar moving if i start youtube or smth , but there is no sounds
See img:
Screenshot(32)
Any clue ?

@atty31 You can run advanced diagnostic, by pressing F12 at the restart, then Diagnostics, exit the test (down left button) and enter the advanced one. Select audio and run.
Let’s see.

How is the headset attached; does it use a small 3.5m plug like wired headphones or is it Bluetooth?
If wired, could it be a hardware switch fault, ie, not disconnecting properly when the headset is unplugged?

Update: Never mind. For my part, I discovered that it was because I also started using a new browser and sound was blocked through that browser’s settings. I hope the other people have found sound answers, too.

FWIW, I’m having issues with sound, too. Since I installed 2024.04, nothing is coming out of the speakers, and I can’t figure out why. Checked the obvious volume control things, checked Pulse Audio. Everything seems to think it’s working, but nothing’s actually happening. I just plugged in wired headphones to see, and it’s the same thing–no sound.
