List of Soundcards Pulseaudio Should Work With

Internal and external. Does this exist?

There used to be a Hardware Compatibility List on LQ. It disappeared a few years ago. Maybe because not enough people were contributing to it but it's possibly more likely that it wasn't needed as much as it used to be.

The PA project itself doesn't seem to have a hardware compatibility list, either.

I'm beginning to suspect PA was never designed to work with in built soundcards as it certainly doesn't work with mine.

Pipewire??

I tried that and I'm wondering if my soundcard has somehow detached itself from the motherboard.

Pulseaudio works with everything.

^ This.
Or to be more precise: Pulseaudio is an abstraction layer. It does not interact with hardware directly. That would be ALSA.
Correction: that would be the kernel driver. ALSA would interact with the driver. Pulseaudio interacts with ALSA.

Therefore the answer to this questions is no, such a list probably does not exist.

This might be of interest: https://docs.kernel.org/sound/cards/index.html

No, pulseaudio does not work on MSI X570S mother board.

Anecdotally, this might very well be true, but is there a correlation, and if so, what is it, and is it fixable?

I've just got a very close cousin of that board, (B550M chipset) and whereas it took me a few tries and proved a right royal bitch to configure, pulseaudio does work. This is AMD's Starship Matisse soundcard? I got it without doing drastic things.
