How to troubleshoot my audio problem so i can fix it ? i don't know where to start and what causing it. Here's some information i can give, and will gladly provide more if anyone can help / guide me :( , i don't add my dmesg yet, because i don't know what should i provide from it

the symptomps to provide this error is random. Deleting ~/.config/pulse folder can temporary fix the problem, but in the future it can back to error again

i'm using asus-g751 because mine was G752VY. It's the same card

sudo cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd_hda_intel model=asus-g751

aplay -l

    What is the actual problem? The Dummy Output device as shown in the screenshot? I assume so, but it's probably good to describe what's actually not working in the question itself. – mattdm Nov 11 '21 at 02:28
  • @mattdm Sorry, i'm still confused before so not sure i can explain my actual problem. But after some troubleshooting, i found the problem is because my waterfox is using pipewire and it's interfacing my audio(pulseaudio). (I still use pulseaudio in Fedora 35, because my jack audio not work if i use pipewire). My temporary solution is to close all program that use audio, and run fuser -v /dev/snd/* to list the process. Then i kill the pipewire process id, and if fuser -v /dev/snd/* empty, i'll just run pulseaudio -k – Jeremy Kenn Nov 12 '21 at 04:26
  • Let me rephrase. I'm not asking what the root cause of the problem is. I'm asking — what trouble are you experiencing? What are you doing, what do you expect to happen, and what is happening instead? – mattdm Nov 12 '21 at 05:22

For me running sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio as suggested at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2016253 worked.

After a reboot sound was working as usual.
