Any idea?

Followed the audio troubleshooting, yast was unable to add back the card after deleting it

The error is caused by systemd-modules-load, which loads snd_hda_intel prematurely:

**erlangen:~ #** journalctl -b -q --identifier systemd-modules-load

Any idea how to inhibit loading snd_hda_intel through systemd-modules-load?

Hi
I have snd soundcore and snd-* omitted in my dracut config file and don’t see it loaded, also running pipewire.

#4

Added the module here:

**erlangen:~ #** grep omit /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf  
**omit**_drivers+=" i2o_scsi snd_hda_intel " 
**erlangen:~ #**

The above made sound great again:

**erlangen:~ #** journalctl -b -g snd

Previously you was using snd_hda_intel with GPU builtin Ryzen 3400G, now you’re using GPU in discrete videocard.
IMHO resetting of a sound settings is needed (and recreating of a boot image too).
