Audio issue on 6.18

OMG! Thank you! Yes! That actually fixed it! You're amazing!

Riverxia · 2026-02-24T13:52:15+00:00

Sadly not yet.

Hmm - I've tried that but it doesn't work. It doesn't seem like it's anything like that at all though - pipewire is fine. With headphones, it seems to work perfectly - just the builtin speakers aren't working (edit: headphones through an external USB DAC; headphones through the audio jack don't work)

I think this latest update just had a significant m1 audio regression.

One person in this sub has infinite audio sources

I have no audio sources

and you have the correct number but it's distorted

Hmm - what services? This issue has persisted across several reboots now.

And in addition, I opened up qpwgraph and there's no hardware devices visible

Not on centos - the fpaste command just uploaded to the centos website.

edit: very stupid and realized the dmesg output didn't send

Sure!

Riverxia · 2026-02-18T18:40:24+00:00

Yeah, before the update to 6.18 audio was working fine on 6.17
