I know, this question has been asked a hundred times before. I have tried all of those hundred solutions and nothing works.
I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04. All I had was 'Dummy Output'. I have done a fresh install of 22.04, same issue. I have upgraded from 20.04, same issue. After installing/uninstalling/editing etc I now have an HDMI/Display port as an option in sound. I have no Display monitor. Reverted to 20.04 to start again. I have HDMI and Dummy only, no analogue, and no way of listening to anything without HDMI speakers.
No option for analogue sound and a laptop without sound is going in the bin.
I am not technically minded - I use Ubuntu because it works (usually)
OK. If anyone is willing to walk me through this I would appreciate it. I use an IOTA Flo360. Ubuntu 20.04 (but can reinstall with 22.04?? ((rather not, has caused problems on two old machines ((wifi adapter disappeared/display was upside down)) )
A bit vague, I know. Anything you need to know, then ask. If you need info from the terminal then please give me the code to cut and paste. I have used Ubuntu for 10+ years but I have rarely needed to understand anything pre-20.04. It just worked (restricted extras codecs aside) Since 20.04 LTS I have had to spend a week or so on every machine to render them usable.
