Hello everyone, I am using EndeavourOS on i3WM and my audio was working fine, today I updated my system, after the update was done, I rebooted the system and since the reboot, my audio is not working.
When I reboot, I get audio for the first application I open, and as soon as I open any other application which plays any audio, the audio stops playing on every application. It feels like a very weird behavior. I even tried to switch to pipewire, but pipewire also gave the exact same problem, then I revert to pulseaudio again.
Yes, it is a similar device. but not the same. I have the same codec.
Codec: Realtek ALC256
Codec: Intel Kabylake HDMI
Yes, I setup pulseaudio because pipewire was giving some problems, pulseaudio was working fine for months, and yesterday when I updated the system, pulseaudio broke.
package list shows a lot pipewire packages installed like pipewire-jack and pipewire-audio …
They could interfere with proper pulseaudio usage…
Currently a little messy to get packages installed and removed on switching…
best is to not uninstall and install needed to remove conflicting packages… sudo pacman -S jack2 pulseaudio-jack could work
And when switching between pulse and pipe you should remove pulse settings from user dir: rm -R ~/.config/pulse
I tried this, it gave the same problem. I rebooted and tried as well, I don’t know why I am facing this much issue suddenly after the update.
I also tried to switch back to pipewire, I removed the pulse file and deleted pulseaudio completely and installed pipewire, after rebooting… I was getting audio for some time and then the audio broke.
Now I am back to pulseaudio, which is giving the same problem.
are sof-firmware and alsa-ucm-conf installed?
journal could show info if firmware is failing: journalctl -b -0 | grep firmware
(check output for uuids and private data before posting!!)
sure, I will give it a try
EDIT: I tried adding the parameter by following this thread
but it made everything extremely slow, it took polybar 2 minutes to show up. and my laptop was not shutting down properly at all, after that… I removed the parameter from the grub config… and now the slowing down is fixed, but the audio is still broken
