Harvey I am using linux-lts and the issue is happening there too.

    I just have a problem with the audio of a video file not working with VLC only, but it must be a coincidence, it's the first time VLC won't read something to me.

      Audio problems with VLC (and not the whole system) is a separate issue. Please look to see if there's an issue on the tracker. If not, please create a new one so we can look into it. Thanks.

          I got my sound device working again by rolling back to update 17
          lspci | grep -i audio
          0000:00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake PCH-P High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)

          sudo eopkg history -t 17
          This has fixed it for me (Vivobook 14 from 2022)
          Aug. 17th edit:
          I tried the update again and this time - no issues. Sound is fine. Not sure what has changed or if something just went wrong tha last time. I hope it stays that way.

          The latest update fixed it momentarily until I rebooted. Then back to dummy output.

          Hi,
          Is there any progress with this issue?
          Is there anything we can help with?

            bigrammy It is annoying, but I trust the team to figure out what is happening. This is a big regression on audio.

              A few errors in dmesg.

              Seems like sound is working again after last update and rebooting on my laptop! \o/ I hope it'll last. I hope it wasn't too hard to solve the issue.

              Just to confirm it's working again on Budgie with kernel version com.solus-project.current.6.10.6-300

              Thanks.

              Weirdly, I can no longer boot into the current kernel, something related to the snaps mounts (I have some snap packages installed). I guess I will have to wait until LTS gets the correction.

                AlphaElwedritsch Thank you. I found the issue, lack of space for the kernel boot files. Fixed it and now I can report that latest current fixes the issue. I wanted to be on lts though, will check again in the future.
