In January installed from the 'DI-alpha1 _Trixie_ - Official Alpha amd64 NETINST with firmware 20241230' image and sound worked for some time, but now I can only get sound over my HDMI monitor speakers, analog audio does not seem available. In KDE/Plasma I only seem to have the alternatives of HDMI sound and Pro Audio, no Analog. Choosing HDMI or Pro Audio both blast sound through my monitor, not my speakers. I logged into Gnome on Wayland and got the same choices. Disconnecting my HDMI monitor gives me only the choice of Pro Audio but no sound at all.
Here is a screenshot of the System Settings:When I use systemsettings to test the sound using the HDMI profile I get the "Front Left" & "Front Right" wav files from the monitor speakers. The Pro Audio setting just gives me a hiss in both channels, but both profiles sound the same when using them to play media.I reaaaaly don't want to play back audio over the dinky speakers on my HDMI monitor when I have a decent set of bookshelf speakers. And I don't want to plug my bookshelf speakers in to the monitor's audio out because the speakers are attached to a KVM switch and serve four computers.
Attached below is a screenshot of another trixie rig that was gradually upgraded from Jessie that offers me the working analog choice.Neither of the 2 latest kernels gives me a choice that will send sound to my 3.5 mm audio out. The system doesn't seem to see the analog audio.
aplay -lpactl list cardsSelecting sound cards with alsamixer F6 doesn't seem to change anything.
The misbehaving system has relatively new hardware.
I seem to be using pipewire.
dpkg -l | grep pipewireThere are also so pulseaudio-like packages but not pulseaudio itself.
dpkg -l | grep pulse
pw-dump gives a lot of output, but nothing I can readily parse.

I really don't want to install pulseaudio and blow away pipewire since pipewire seems to be the glowing future. Jack doesn't seem to be installed. Rebooting isn't bringing me joy.
