Settings has a small x next to a speaker symbol apparently indicating I've been muted. I can move the volume indicator, but it does not stick. I have no sound. After a google search, I tried: [root@2001-48F8-3004-2CE-0-0-0-25DA-dynamic ~]# alsaunmute Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Analog Devices AD1884" "HDA:11d41884,103c281e,00100100" "0x103c" "0x281e" Hardware is initialized using a generic method [root@2001-48F8-3004-2CE-0-0-0-25DA-dynamic ~]# systemctl --user enable --now wireplumber Failed to connect to bus: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not defined (consider using --machine=<user>@.host --user to connect to bus of other user) [root@2001-48F8-3004-2CE-0-0-0-25DA-dynamic ~]#
I'm not actually sure whether the problem started with F35. I'm not all that fond of videos on the computer, but I'd like to have the sound that goes with.
Everything is plugged in, including power and the pale green plug. If I click on test, I get a popup telling me to click on a speaker. Huh?
How do I get sound?

That usually means that the sound system can't find an audio device.

You can't run a "--user" command directly as root, it has to be run as the user you want it for (or as described).

Yes, you click on one of those speakers and it will send audio to that speaker to test it.
You didn't mention which desktop you're using, but if it's Gnome, go to the sound settings and see what the options are for output device.
As your user, what does "systemctl --user status wireplumber" show?

As I should have made clear, my issue was what constituted clicking on a speaker. Even everything were not grayed out, I would still not have much of a clue.

I'll check, but I'm not home now.
Thanks.

Running it as myself did the trick. Thanks much.

I should have done that first.
