My speakers work fine on windows, I've just been trying to get them working on Ubuntu but 'Dummy Output' is my only listed output device. I've reinstalled Ubuntu, gone down a few rabbit holes and I can't fix it. Any tips?

ALSA Info: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=3f026652460a271930b3e5a3e1a3aea0620c7024

Version: Ubuntu 20.10

Device: Acer Swift 315-52

Commands:

aplay -l #1
alsamixer #2
alsamixer -c 0 #3
lspci -v #4
lspci -nnk | grep -A2 Audio #5

Outputs:

aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found... #1

cannot open mixer: No such file or directory #2
invalid card index: 0
try `alsamixer --help' for more information #3 
#(outputs the same result even if a different index number is used (0,1,2,3,...))

Attempt 1:

apt-get install git
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio
sudo apt install pavucontrol

No output devices listed in Pulse Audio Volume Control besides 'Dummy Output'.

Attempt 2:

pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload
pacmd list-cards
0 card(s) available.

No sound settings available in my Acer laptop bios to change

"Dummy Output" No sound in Ubuntu 16.04

Attempt 3:

sudo chmod 666 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
echo 'options snd-hda-intel model=acer-mode1' >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
sudo chmod 644 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Wha't kind of model I've to add in my alsa-base.conf file

To Undo:

sudo chmod 666 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
sudo sed -i '$ d' /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
sudo chmod 644 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

(Can also edit the file manually after chmod 666 and before chmod 644)

Attempt 4:

sudo gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf

And then replace the sections outlined in the article and reboot

After Upgrading from 22.04 to 22.10 I had the same problem.

Running

sudo touch /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio
systemctl --user restart pipewire-session-manager

fixed the problem.
