Hi everyone, new convert here. Shifted from Windows to Ubuntu 2 months ago, sound was working in the beginning but stopped after a while. I couldn't figure out what was the problem, posted in a lot of detail on AskUubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1432056/sound-not-working-on-elitebook-850-g5-on-ubuntu-22-04-1
Then moved to Pop OS! and everything was great for a month until today or yesterday. This time I knew I did 3 things in the period it stopped working:
1. Installed an app FSearch (tried uninstalling it, didn't get sound back)
2. Auto-mounted a Windows partition (undid this, didn't get sound back)
3. Installed OS update <- I think this should be the culprit.
/var/log/apt/history.log entries from now since last night:
This time I had Timeshift backups from the start, so I can go into recovery, but I want to know how I can fix this without recovery? If OS updates are causing this, going back in time won't help.
I had posted all information in my previous post when I had installed Ubuntu (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1432056/sound-not-working-on-elitebook-850-g5-on-ubuntu-22-04-1) but please feel free to ask anything else
UPDATE: I restarted and on the boot loader there was another option "Pop! OS old Kern" <- I selected this and sound was working! So apparently a Kernal update caused issues? What can I do to avoid / prevent / undo this going forward
