In a new install of Fedora-33 desktop I have no sound. I have fiddled with the problem for several days to no avail so I guess I need to ask for help.
PA Volume appears to get an input but i see no output ...
The system had sound with the previous install which was removed when anaconda did the present install. Any ideas, suggestions, whatever? Bob

Try these commands as root to see if you see your soundcard there:
aplay --list-devices cat /proc/asound/cards
And to see the driver (kernel module) being used (usually called snd*): lsmod | grep snd
I'd also install pavucontrol. That's the "Pulse Audio volume Control" : highly recommened to reroute sound streams but also to trobleshoot this sort of thing.

° Yes I always use the PAVolumecontrol to see what I can. as I said, there appears to be an input at Playback but nothing at the Output. Alsamixer shows levels set to 100% but no sound out ...
Thanks for responding,

I see the built-in audio controller from Intel. In pavucontrol, under "Configuration"...do you see your card there? If so, what profile do you have selected?

° It shows "Profile: Digital Stereo (HDMI 3) Ouput
However I have wondered about this, the monitor is connecter HDMI but the audio id connected to the speaker outout jack, there are no speakers in the 32inch HP monitor that I am aware of.
It shows Built-Audio selected
and
Profile: Analog Stereo Duplex (unavailable)
Those items look questionaable to me?

That should be the profile: "Analog Stereo Duplex". I honestly don't know why it appears as unavailable. Check this [1]
Also, did you try connecting some headphones into the headphone jack? Just to test that?

does your hdpi have an ARC ?? this was my problem and a PITA as you dont get any fedora tips about this issue.

Every time I install a new fedora, I think I lost sound because the new feddora always picks the motherboard audio output as the default, and I always listen via the TV speakers over HDMI.
I always run:
gnome-control-center sound
to change the default output to HDMI. It apparently does something undocumented to make HDMI out actually work. I spent most of a day once trying to get any of the command line tools to work, and I'd always get no sound even when all the info I could print said sound was going to HDMI. Never did figure that out.
