Audio gone after using USB audio, rescan for hardware drivers?

General

I’m using a Thinkpad P15 Gen1. Installed Aurora and things have been great the past few weeks.
A few days ago I was in a voice call and plugged in a USB microphone. When I was finished I shut down and unplugged the USB microphone. The next morning there was no audio devices recognized by Aurora!

I tried rebasing between Nvidia and AMD to try and force drivers to reset, but that didn’t change anything. rpm-ostree reset also didn’t do anything because it said it found no changes.

Any thoughts on how I can get audio back without doing a clean install?

Is the device not detected or is there merely no sound output through it?

A thing to test is to reset the state of the Wireplumber audio session manager.

rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber
systemctl --user restart wireplumber

The second thing to test is to boot some linux live USB environment and see if audio works there. If it does not then that suggests hardware failure.
