Hi. I recently did a fresh install of this OS, i have no sound from my headphones. I would appreciate any help to get it working. Thanks,

Similar problem here, as in my post No audio - pulsemixer Dummy Output after kernel update 6.1.12-1-lts: Module snd_hda_intel_codec not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.12-1-lts

No answers in 10 days, wish you (and me) more luck

Could you put code tags around what you post from output.

Please try the followings first, and see what happens in pavucontrol.

It’s better to install all pkgs.

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse pipewire-media-session pipewire-zeroconf pipewire-audio pipewire-v4l2 pipewire-x11-bell

There are basic things to do after installation::

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-media-session

copy /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/ to /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/ (directory copy)
copy /usr/share/pipewire/client.conf to /etc/pipewire/client.conf (file copy)
copy /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf to /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf (file copy)
copy /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf to /etc/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf (file copy)

Above copies belong to default configuration.

copy /usr/share/pipewire/client.conf to ~/username/.config/pipewire/client.conf (file copy)
copy /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf to ~/username/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf (file copy)
copy /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf to ~/username/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf (file copy)
copy /usr/share/pipewire/jack.conf to ~/username/.config/pipewire/jack.conf (file copy)
copy /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/media-session.conf to ~/username/.config/pipewire/media-session.conf (file copy)

Above copies belong to application configuration.

Basically, the three factory managers pipewire(service,socket), pipewire-pulse(service,socket)
and pipewire-media-session(service) act similarly. They search ~/username/.config/pipewire/ first
and then /etc/pipewire/ for configure files to do configurations. Suppose the pipewire is working good in your system now,
and suddenly you rename ~/username/.config/pipewire/ to ~/username/.config/pipewirezz/,
after the following two commands::

systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse.service

Pipewire’s configuration returns to /etc/pipewire/'s default. On the contrary with the rename-back of
~/username/.config/pipewire/ and the above commands, your previous application-configure will come back.

Edited by mod to add code tags.

Could we please use code tags around the output you post.

s4ndm4n · March 6, 2023, 3:36pm

Would you be able to edit that post? it’s very confusing.

ricklinux · March 6, 2023, 6:51pm

Hopefully that helps?
