No Audio on Linux Mint 20.2

@mikobuntu Answers below!

  1. When I press f6 in alsamixer I get three options: “-” for default, “0” for HDA Intel HDMI, and “1” for HDA Intel PCH. I get the same options in Renoise and have tried all the available output channels. In other programs (Mixxx, Reaper) the PCH card works when selecting PCH Analog output.

  2. While I’m playing one of the demo songs in Renoise, it’s not listed in the playback tab of pavucontrol (just “System Sounds”).

  3. In the pavucontrol configuration tab (with Renoise playing) there are two entires for “Built-in Audio”, one with the Profile set to “Off” and one set to “Analog Stero Duplex”. My guess is the first is the HDMI sound card as all of the options have HDMI in them, the second has a lot of options: Analog Stereo Duplex, Analog Stereo Output, Digital Stereo Input/Output, Analog Surround 2.1 Input/Output, and Analog Suround 4.1 Input/Output.

  4. With Renoise running, after I kill pulseaudio and try to restart it I get the below message, is that expected?

nick@nick-MacBookPro:~$ killall pulseaudio
pulseaudio: no process found
nick@nick-MacBookPro:~$ killall pulseaudio
pulseaudio: no process found
nick@nick-MacBookPro:~$ pulseaudio -D
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

@lilith right now Reaper doesn’t work with Jack but does with Alsa. This is my first time using Jack though so I likely don’t have it set up correctly. I’m working on getting Reaper to work with Jack and if that works will try to use the same setup with Renoise.

For output, I checked that first based on this thread. The master output has two options one for channels 1+2 and for channels 3+4. Neither seem to work yet. Here’s a screenshot of what it looks like:
