Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
sometimes when coming back to computer the audio output via the 3.5mm jack disappears from the audio menu. This prevents playback in any browser for videos as it cant route the audio anywhere. The only thing that fixes the issue is a reboot and battery disconnect. This started occurring when I updated from Fedora 39 to 40, it has continued with Fedora 41. Issue seems to happen after waking from sleep, but its not consistent. Can go days between issues. Have made sure to perform all updates including Framework.

Does unplugging the expansion card help?

Do you see any error messages in Journal TL or dmesg when the issue happens?
Does lsusb still show the card?

Your kernel version says fc42, but you are on fedora 41?
Fedora 43 is out now - would it be possible to update to 42 or 43?

no removing and replacing the expansion card has not helped.

Could you provide some screenshots please?
That seems very strange - there's no built-in audio jack, just the expansion card. And the expansion card behaves like a standard USB device.
