This is too vague as there are many updates since.

To find the culprit, the best you can do is to try a live ISO from Beta 2 before they were unavailable as we are next to release the RC one.

Once booted with Live CD (Plasma, Gnome or XFCE), check if sound is available.
You can also test the kernel-5.10.5 which has landed Cauldron early this week.

You could add here the output of
 $ inxi -A
Comment 3 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-01-13 14:28:43 CET
Can you even be able to upgrade to latest kernel 5.10.7 in core repository
by doing as root in a terminal:
# urpmi --auto-update
and reboot

Does this device worked with earlier version of Mageia?

@Jean-Marc
The latest Cauldron versions are:
 5.10.12-desktop-2.mga8
 pulseaudio-14.2-1.mga8
 pavucontrol-4.0-2.mga8 [unchanged]
Please DO report back.

Normally the most recent ISOs are a snapshot of Cauldron at the time they are made, so any updated M8 system should be the same or better; but with Mageia 8 being forked off from Cauldron, version freezes etc, I am not sure.
There is nothing to lose by trying a Live ISO anyway.

Comment 6 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-02-03 17:44:19 CET
Yeah, as of today, an updated Cauldron machine is the same as if it has been installed with latest netinstall ISO. Note that currently the only medias for M8 that are publicly available are still the Beta2 medias, which are pretty outdated. But the Kernel version in Original report reminds me that the reporter uses a Cauldron system.

@ Reporter, ASAP, when Mageia 8 RC official ISO will be published, can you report back about this current Bug report?
Comment 7 Lewis Smith 2021-02-03 20:01:17 CET
I do not think a later ISO should matter if a Cauldron/M8 system is kept up-to-date, it would mainly be for installation issues, not the latest software.

I have not seen the mgaapplet Systray icon for some time, but doing:
 $ sudo urpmi --auto-update --auto
is yielding updates. They are coming from (in my case; note the /8/ :
http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/8/x86_64/media/core/release/
etc.
Must try MCC-Update System another time.

Because mgaapplet has been set for his correct behaviour: to look only for updates in repositories marked as "update".

To have GUI mgaapplet still look for updates until M8 is releajsed, use :
$ drakrpm-edit-media --expert
and click on checkbox to repos not marked as "update" repo.

Don't forger to uncheck mater when M8 is released.
