Am having similar issues to another user on here susethegoose.
Am dual booting Opensuse Tumbleweed and Windows. After some time the audio stops on Linux but never had an issue on Windows.
There doesn’t appear to be any issue however no sound comes out, like it is going to the wrong output (no matter which I choose).
Have tried reverting to old snapshot with no luck. Then updating to most recent kernel. Have also tried to install/uninstall Jack, Pipewire, and Pulseaudio.
At the moment have reverted back to the default that was working previously but now is not.
I had a similar issue in Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and Debian, they work for a year or so then audio breaks and nothing short of complete reinstallation fixes it?
The audio I use is the built in line in and line out jack on motherboard, not the HDMI port.
