I am using a Lenovo computer with 8G of memory and 1 TB hard drive, AMD 
Ryzen 3 2200g w/radion vega graphices x4, Graphics Gallium 0.4 llvmpipe, 
it is running 64 bit Debian.  Processor is Intel Core i3-9100T, CPU 
3.10GHz, Realtec 8821CE wireless lan 802.11 ac  PCI-E NIC.

sound.  There is none no matter what I have done. I need help please.

What desktop environment are you using?


What application are you using?


What speakers are you using?  If external, have you checked the cables 
-- both sound and power?  The power adapter?  The AC cable?  The AC outlet?

One more thing. Recently, I plugged wired earbuds into my system
for the first time in months, and they were just plain not detected.
None of the GUI tools recognized that an output device existed.

What I had to do was run Alsamixer, press F6, select my sound card,
(not HDMI audio or Bluetooth audio, both of which had existed), and
then force it to be output and not input. The default Bullseye audio
system seems to be prone to failure to detect audio devices.

I have the same problem, no souud  using bookworm and gnome. I have 
tried to days and have no solution.

One detail I can add. I too plugged earbud. They register as headphones 
(unplugged) as output and Rear Microphone (plugged in) as input.

 My sound has been working just fine the day before that.  Now nothing.

I am using Gnome and the application is firefox with you tube, the speakers are internal only.  I have checked to make sure I didn't turn something off by accident and everything is telling me that it is working.

Do you have any *.wav or *.mp3 files on your computer?  If so, try 
double-clicking on one.  Hopefully, a music player app will open the 
file and start playing it.


Alternatively, does your computer have a CD/DVD/BD drive?  If so, insert 
a music CD.  Hopefully, a music player app will open and play the CD. 
Or, you might get a chooser dialog asking what to do; try to find a 
choice that plays the CD.


My guess is that some sound system feature got misconfigured, such as a 
mixer setting.  On Xfce, I have a panel with an icon that looks like a 
speaker.  If I left click on it, I get some mute buttons and sliders I 
can adjust.  If I right click and choose Properties, I get a tabbed 
pop-up window with more settings.  Looking in the menu (e.g. Start 
button) -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control, a tabbed app starts 
with lots of settings.  I expect Gnome has similar features.  See what 
you can find.  Look for icons with an "X" on them, that might mean mute. 
  Click on them to turn muting off.


If the above ideas fail, do you know how to issue root commands in a 
terminal?

Have a look into PipeWire articles in ArchLinux and Debian wiki.

This certainly. It's also relatively easy to mute a Mozilla window
and not notice - Ctrl-M should mute/unmute - or clicking on the 
speaker icon in the appropriate tab.

[I say this as someone who was significantly caught out by this
recently - it's too easy to miss and spend 1/2 hour trying to 
work out what's gone wrong. In my case, it was a video call
where the other participants know me well enough not to make
fun of my efforts :) ]

All the very best,

Andy
