If you are using a Nightly release, try upgrading to a version higher than hrev59825 as there was a change introduced in that version that added audio over HDMI/DP support to the HDA driver that caused issues with existing HD Audio devices.

Audio actually still works but if you have a video card with audio support over the HDMI/DP port in your system it seems default to that upon updating and you need to switch to your normal HD Audio device in Media preferences. It also overrode the output/input mixer settings for all devices with the HDMI/DP one, showing HDMI <NULL> due to limitations of the HDA driver.

It was reverted in hrev59826. I logged a ticket about it as I experienced issues with it, link to the ticket here: Making sure you're not a bot!

Thank you so much - this was the problem. :smiley:

After ugrading, I have audio back.

It seems the upgrade changed my ES version to 10.0.4, so I got confused over missing features.

After re-installing 11.2, it works nicely (the CPU fan still spins up though).

Hi. I’ve been playing with jack2 and a DAW I’m working. Jack seems to be working well, still a lot to go on the daw.
