Hey people. Long story short, Resolve has no sound. After fidgeting and re-encoding audio to formats it likes or using .wav files, nothing. Checked pro profile per this post [https://github.com/devkoyote/davinci\_resolve\_audio\_linux](https://github.com/devkoyote/davinci_resolve_audio_linux) , still nothing. Thought to check the audio volume taskbar widget, and under the applications tab there is a Pipewire ALSA (resolve) entry that mutes and unmutes itself rapidly, producing a flashing “glitch” at the right of the taskbar that i had dismissed as a graphical glitch ( it occurs only when Resolve is running). When it comes to rendering, some render settings render normally, others produce an estimated time for render of two plus hours for a 20s clip and never render. I have not exhausted the possibility of bad video files on my end for this one, just asking if any one has noticed anything similar. If you need any diagnostics/ system info let me know, the forum log tool sends me to a 404 error page, not sure what info i could provide to help those that wish to help. Thanks in advance. ---

Not an expert with this at all but if you can maybe install a similar program and see if that picks it up or not to help others rule things out (sorry I can’t be more helpful) ---

Installed losslesscut, both audio and video play back fine. The entry in the applications tab of the audio volume is named Chromium though, i will assume it has something to do with how it works. Thanks for replying, don’t sweat about not being more helpfull 😀 ---

I don’t use Davinci Resolve either but I know of it. It’s technically made for Rocky Linux and not the arch distro of this world. That said Chris Titus has a page and video on how to fix various issue with Davinci on linux. There is a section about no audio : > **[Resolve in Arch Linux](https://christitus.com/resolve-in-arch-linux/)** > > DaVinci Resolve on Arch Linux is one of those setups that can be perfect for weeks and then break after one system update. The problem is not that Arch is bad or Resolve is bad. The problem is that Resolve is a proprieta... Hope this helps a little. ---

Found that video when i had trouble with h264 codecs, unfortunately the audio problem i face is not the one Titus mentions in the video or post. Also found a youtube short that mentioned the exact same problems i have, and argued that it happens because resolve tries to use an audio device but pipewire -alsa does not let it for some reason, it mentioned a fix that was nowhere to be found. Will investigate further. ---

Cannot find how to edit the original post (something i did two days ago, what is wrong with me), so i post for future reference to any one with the same problem. The solution is the pro profile on the soundcards/ devices, something i thought i did but i just checked if it is possible without changing anything apparently. Turned both sound devices to pro-profile and the sound works. > **[GitHub - devkoyote/davinci\_resolve\_audio\_linux: Fix DaVinci Resolve no-audio error](https://github.com/devkoyote/davinci_resolve_audio_linux)** > > Fix DaVinci Resolve no-audio error ---
