Sound not working on Ubuntu 21.10

Solution 1:

I had the same problem after upgrading to 21.10, what worked for me was:

  1. to remove pulseaudio and alsa (sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends pulseaudio alsa-base alsa-utils);
  2. to install pipewire-pulse (sudo apt install pipewire-pulse) and
  3. reboot
