In a new install of Fedora-33 I have no audio. It appears that PA has no

For whatever reason the pa volume shows audio set for HDMI and my audio
is coming from the motherboard speaker j=output. The same connection
always worked with Fedora-32 and earlier ...
Am I the only one seeing this and what can I do to fix it?
I have a couple years old Dell desktop that has audio out via HDMI,
rear panel speaker jack and front panel headset jack. HDMI output is
useless due to low quality of the speakers in my monitor. If I plug
in a headset a message comes up on the screen telling me that
audio is being sent to the headset. This message appears to come
from the system firmware (independent of the OS). It took a few
updates (Fedora 31) before Gnome allowed me to send audio to the
rear panel output. There were complaints on forums for other distros.
You might want to mention your system details in case you need to
look for a driver that supports your firmware.
I think Dell is using laptop technology in desktops (the Dell keyboard
even has a Fn key next to the left Ctrl key, but lacks the hints on the
top row F1, etc. to tell me what the Fn key does -- maybe it is just
there to help my fingers when switching to a Dell laptop -- not helpful
when switching to a Thinkpad).
