ReillyBrogan How did I miss this?

user@user ~ $ systemctl --user stop pipewire-pulse.service
user@user ~ $ systemctl --user start pulseaudio

Well I tried it now and have sound. : Thank you and sorry.

PS: I have both pipewire and pulseaudio packages installed. Removing the unused package was not necessary. And no reboot was needed (infact you should not reboot) after running these commands for the sound to start working. Now I just need to figure out how to make the change persist a reboot 🙂

      I was finally able to make the fix permanent like this:

      $ systemctl --user disable pipewire-pulse.service
$ systemctl --user enable pulseaudio

      What's the output of sudo dmesg? Upload it to pastebin or a similar site and post the output here.

        I have Solus Gnome:

        inxi -Aaz
        Audio:
        Device-1: Intel Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio vendor: ASUSTeK
        driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus-ID: 00:1f.3 chip-ID: 8086:9d70
        class-ID: 0403
        API: ALSA v: k6.4.11-251.current status: kernel-api
        tools: alsactl,alsamixer,amixer
        Server-1: sndiod v: N/A status: off tools: aucat,midicat,sndioctl
        Server-2: JACK v: 1.9.22 status: off tools: jack_control
        Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.78 status: active with: 1: pipewire-pulse
        status: active 2: wireplumber status: active tools: pw-cat,pw-cli,wpctl
        Server-4: PulseAudio v: 16.1 status: off (using pipewire-pulse)
        tools: pacat,pactl

        Found a solution, it was this:

        user@user ~ $ systemctl --user start pulseaudio

        but WITHOUT stopping pipewire-pulse.service.

        Then I followed jumpy to make this permanent

        $ systemctl --user enable pulseaudio

        Thanks everyone!

        Yes, but pulseaudio is no longer supported on Solus and the server may be removed in a future package update. It would be better to figure out the root cause of this issue so we can get it fixed before then with PipeWire. It looks like SOF might not be loading your firmware, can you try sudo journalctl -b0 > bad-audio.log and upload it to Pastebin? Paste the link here.

          I have several days of testing behind now and the solution I marked earlier doesn't seem to function consistently. The sounds might work for a while, but then stop working again. This also stalls YouTube video playback on Firefox and Vivaldi without any error message. Incase there's another Intel NUC user out there reading this, I would like to hear whether this sound issue affects your NUC version as well or not?

          I recently bought and installed a new monitor. It connects through USB-C and seems to have solved the sound issues I had with HDMI.

          jp923 Nicely spotted. I indeed had not upgraded to the latest bios. Upgrading solved some issues I was having with the USB-C ports.
