[RESOLVED] No sound after update kernel 6.14.0-36-generic and kernel 6.17.0-14-generic

[leotux]

After update to the kernels above the network card and the sound card did not work só i installed linux-headers-generic linux-headers-6.14.0-37-generic and kernel 6.17.0-14-generic after a reboot
kubuntu detected the network card but not the sound card my sound card is a Realtek ALC1220. The sound card is working with kernel 6.14.0-36-generic

command (lspci | grep Audio) is showing on all the kernels

On kernel 6.14.0-37-generic and 6.17.0-14-generic there is no output

Booting from kubunto 24.04.4 on a usb flash drive the sound card works
What am i missing

[leotux]

found the problem the update to kernel-6.17.0-14-gerecic did not install linux-modules-extra-6.17.0-14-generic after installing and rebooting the sound is working now

Glad you found it on your own. What you experienced can often happen when moving to a different kernel series. For whatever reason, not all the kernel packages are installed so if you have any kernel packages like "...module-extra..." installed, you have to manually add it.

My method when "upgrading" to a new kernel series is to list all currently installed kernel packages and match that list with the new kernel. I use the terminal to do this, so moving from 6.14.0-32 to 6.17.0-14, in Konsole I entered

dpkg -l |grep " 6.14.0-32"

This simply lists the installed packages like this:

ii  linux-headers-6.14.0-32-generic               6.14.0-32.32~24.04.1                                         amd64        Linux kernel headers for version 6.14.0
ii  linux-hwe-6.14-headers-6.14.0-32              6.14.0-32.32~24.04.1                                         all          Header files related to Linux kernel version 6.14.0
ii  linux-image-6.14.0-32-generic                 6.14.0-32.32~24.04.1                                         amd64        Signed kernel image generic
ii  linux-modules-6.14.0-32-generic               6.14.0-32.32~24.04.1                                         amd64        Linux kernel extra modules for version 6.14.0
ii  linux-modules-extra-6.14.0-32-generic         6.14.0-32.32~24.04.1                                         amd64        Linux kernel extra modules for version 6.14.0​

Or you can get "fancy" and you awk to change the output.

This

dpkg -l |grep " 6.14.0-32" |awk '{ print $2 }'

gets you this:

linux-headers-6.14.0-32-generic
linux-hwe-6.14-headers-6.14.0-32
linux-image-6.14.0-32-generic
linux-modules-6.14.0-32-generic
linux-modules-extra-6.14.0-32-generic

Now all you need to do is install these packages substituting the new kernel version of 6.17.0-14 for the old version.

A few minutes of work and one could write a small script or bash one-liner to accomplish this programatically, but how often are we doing this?
