I recently installed Ubuntu 24.04 on my PC. But I am facing issues with the audio that is not working. When I enter into the sound setting I cannot see my soundbox -- it only shows "Dummy output".

Please help me solving this issue. Thanks in advance.

Looks like this is a known bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pipewire/+bug/2063150

That post suggested blacklisting snd_soc_avs. (i.e. add this line: blacklist snd_soc_avs to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf)

I experienced random sound freezes on my lenovo ideapad after fresh 24.04 install.

# aplay -l

Just installed apt-get install pulseaudio and rebooted, issue gone.

I had the same problem. Then I reinstalled it without the drivers and it worked normally. However, I tried to install the drivers again and it gave me the same problem again. I believe Ubuntu 24.04 is not identifying the drivers. For now I removed the third party drivers.

I am not a devloper, just a long time power user. No liability if this breaks you system.

  1. Installing pulseaudio will probably break pipewire in 24.04.

  2. After a fresh installation I ran sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop and then I ran a graphical tool called aptitude and reinstalled all packages.
