    Are you using the same home folder after migration to antiX 23? Do you have an ~/.asoundrc file?
    ls ~/.asound*
    if this file exists, rename it.
    mv ~/.asoundrc ~/.asoundrc-old

    Next, install extra alsa configurations that helps for some sound cards
    sudo apt install alsa-ucm-conf

    Reboot, check that pipewire is running (it should show the same as your last inxi -Axx output), and then launch pavucontrol, go to the “configuration” tab, select the correct profile (you can test different profiles), select the correct output device in the “Output Devices” tab, and test each one with firefox or some other program that can output audio.

    I remember I had an issue some time ago with having the wrong device selected.

    If that doesn’t work, we will try going low level and try to assign the correct sound card/device with alsamixer.

    Corruption has two hands: the Right and the Left. Don't let them squeeze you.
