Problem with the audio on the pi 4

Sun Jul 12, 2020 10:12 pm

Hello (firstly, sorry for my bad english). I'm running raspbian on my rasberry pi 4 and it worked fine until yesterday. I installed gqrx-sdr for test it, and suddenly the sound stopped working. Now in the icon of the sound, it says "No volume control on this device". I don't know what to do.
If someone could help it would be awesome.
Thanks.

Did gqrx-sdr install PulseAudio as a dependency ? If so PulseAudio is the issue.

That was the issue. I removed pulseaudio and the I used "sudo raspi-config" to select the jack output, and now It's working again.
Thanks a lot :D
