New Install, Generic Audio not detected

stupot

I'm brand new to Solus, but I've been using linux for over 15 years now.

I just did a fresh install on my desktop, but it seems as though my generic audio controller isn't properly detected.

stupot@solus ~/.config $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 10: HDMI 4 [HDMI 4] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 11: HDMI 5 [HDMI 5] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC1220 Analog [ALC1220 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 1: ALC1220 Digital [ALC1220 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 4: ALC1220 Analog [ALC1220 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1
So aplay sees HD-Audio Generic...And yet pavucontrol only sees

and

KDE Audio setting only sees HDMI 3 & 6.

I've tried the following:
removing ~/.config/pulse and restarting pulse audio.

Disabling pulse audio and enabling pipewire + pipewire-pulse.

Running alsamixer, selecting HD-Audio Generic, turning the volume all the way up.

I've tried to
aplay -D surround21:CARD=Generic /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav
and
aplay -D sysdefault:CARD=Generic /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav
after turning the volume up on alsamixer, still no sound.

This desktop audio works correctly with the other distro I use, so I know it's not the hardware.

I've never used pipewire before, but as of now I have that disabled via systemctl and pulseaudio enabled.

It seems like the problem is
[Out] Speaker: Speaker (priority 100, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown)

But I don't know why it's unknown.

Any help would be appreciated. I'd love to give Solus an honest try.

I managed to get it working, not sure if it's a permanent fix or not. In pavucontrol, under configuration tab I set the HD Audio Controller to Default(unavailable), then under Output Devices I had to click a checkmark to switch which option was selected.

This seems to generate sound output for pulseaudio or pipewire-pulse.
