@Hui, Thank you for looking deeper into the problem, and for your explanation.
I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the speaker to the audio output jack as you suggested, however it did not change the behavior. The 'Dummy Output' remains, and no sound is heard. @Kai, I added the PPA you linked to, applied the updates, and rebooted my system. Unfortunately, this did not change the behavior. The 'Dummy Output' remains, and no sound is heard. Please let me know if I can provide any addition information or fresh logs files from my system, as I am happy to do so. Thank you both again for your help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875199 Title: [NUC8CCHK][HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH, playback] No sound at all Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: No sound output.
