No sound output devices listed after upgrade from 21.10 to 22.04
Problem: No sound after upgrade from ubuntu 21.10 to 22.04 (using development release) both built in speakers and hdmi output. Some background: running on ubuntu 21.04, I noticed that my sound was not so great so I did some research for sound and I finally managed to get better sound using pipewire with easyeffects. My guess is that I have to either remove this setup or adjust it for ubuntu 22.04 but I cant find the config settings anymore which I changed earlier. Some info regarding my setup:

Sound settings just shows «dummy output» in the output device dropdown 
Any ideas how to get this fixed?
I upgraded using command: sudo do-release-upgrade -d I have now tried: sudo apt-get remove pipewire after which my whole system went out and doesnt boot anymore. So Im not downloading the iso on a flash drive to try to repair my system or do a fresh install.
«. Im not downloading. » I suggest you download the ISO and fresh-install from it. I know many purists think an upgrade-install is preferable: but in my history, such upgrades create conflicts, and these can take weeks to resolve. A fresh-install is usually no more than 30 minutes, and avoids huge frustrations and wasted time.
@robgrune oops thats a typo. It should be «I am now downloading». I am by far not a purist, I just want it to work 😀 5 minutes left for the download to finish.
Arch Linux
Long time Debian/RH (workstation and server) user and this is my first attempt at Arch. As a sysadmin, I gotta give respect to Arch users. you gotta know what you’re doing to set this OS up.
New setup of Arch on a 2021 Dell XPS 17. Everything seems to be working except Sound. KDE’s audio panel indicates that there are no output or input devices found. I do have the Dummy sound device if I show hidden devices. Unfortunately I wasn’t keeping track of everything I tried so far but I’ll try to cover the basics:

It does allow me to select «HDA NVidia» but that only shows a bunch of S/PDIF objects. I suspect there should be an onboard card for the laptop’s built-in speakers. What am I missing?

Ubuntu 22.04 Sound Card Exists but is not Detected
I have been using Ubuntu 22.04 for some time now, but today when I booted up I found that the only output device for sound is Dummy Output and there are no Input Devices. Prior to this, both my microphones and various output devices were being correctly detected in Ubuntu 22.04 Based on inxi -A

So far, I’ve purge and reinstalled alsa and pulse, rebooted, attempted
sudo touch /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio systemctl --user restart pipewire-session-manager as per Upgrade from 21.04 to 22.04, audio lost (Dummy output only) , and generally rebooted/shutdown several times along with attempting to reboot pulseaudio control, start it in daemon mode, and so on. I also attempted to add options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0 , as per Ubuntu no sound, dummy output, and no sound card detected , which did not work either. Any help is greatly appreciated
