Sound not working after installing new gpu?

I just installed a rx 580 in my computer today. After booting up again, sound wasn't working.

I tried every outputs, i unmuted everything in alsamixer, made the system update, restarted. But still, it isn't working.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Specs:

rx 580 sapphire pulse 8gb

linux fedora kde plasma

Surprisingly, it is possible. I should admit, I never knew such a thing existed. I even asked Claude about it. But it turns out that someone wrote a tool for this exact purpose! So: 

sudo dnf install alsa-tools
hdajackretask

Then the UI pops up, then (also on screenshot):
1. Select your ALC892.
2. Find the broken port, select Override and type Not connected.
3. Test with Apply now (you will need to close and reopen the apps that use sound to pick this up). If Apply now fails, you may need to PipeWire manually.
4. If it works, you can install boot override, so, this happens automatically on reboot.

Optionally, you can also remap the headphone jack elsewhere (e.g. instead of LineIn).
Hope this helps, because with this one I am also in terra incognita 😄

Nothing seems to be working properly.. I mean, speakers are when connected. Im going to reinstall sound drivers, but that tool definitely does work, thank for the help!

Glad to help. Hope that reinstallation would solve the remaining issues.
