For whatever reason the pa volume shows audio set for HDMI and my

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).

Well my no name keyboard has a function key in that location too, but my
computers are sort of home made, the two Fedora Workstations have MAI
main boards and use XFCE which may be where my audio is being routed
wrongly? My monitors use HDMI cables but I don't think I've had one with
speakers. The audio in question happens to be connected to some good
quality speakers that came with a separate amplifier unit my daughter
bought for me. I put the computers in rack and panel style cases for my
convenience in dealing with the cables and such, works well for me. I
remap the keyboard for my convenience also, F15 types "°" and others do
other things /want./
I don't have a headset to try but pa volume control tells me there is
none plugged in, it only sees the HDMI "plugs."
Anyway Fedora 33 has been really problematic for me, I am reluctant to
upgrade this Feodor 32 system since I need one working computer all the
time. I rely on my Notecase Pro program for my notes, if my memory fails
me i look there and then Google. That has been a struggle to get working
in F33, but the creator provides excellent help promptly The first thing
I look at when I boot in the morning is my Tkremind calendar and that
did not work until I got the set up process straightened out, again the
help there is very good. perhaps I should inquire on the xfce list about
the sound problem? No one has suggested that ...
