Hi,
I am running latest updated Atlantis Neo (XFCE+QTile) as of today. I have a Dell Precision 5510 laptop.
When I restart my laptop or resume from hibernation, the audio switches to speakers. When I unplug and replug the headphones, it starts working from headphones again.
I was using PopOS 20.04 LTS earlier and did not have this problem so I assume its not a hardware problem.
The volume level also resets to 44% and does not remember the last volume level.
Note: I have run sudo alsactl restore and the problem is not fixed. I don’t know why I ran it. But I have a snapshot before running this command in case I have to revert back.
If you’re running with PipeWire then it could be a media session regression. Try wireplumber instead of pipewire-media-session.
If none of that makes sense, provide the output of inxi -Faz (as text).

Please find the requested output. I am afraid I don’t understand what to do with wireplumber.
Best!
sudo pacman -S wireplumber
and reboot. If it doesn’t work any better then revert with
sudo pacman -S pipewire-media-session
Also you should get into the habit of looking at the Arch wiki, e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire

Hi @jonathon
I am going to try it on the weekend. Just one question though. To revert back to pipewire-media-session do I need to remove wireplumber and visa versa. Or simply install them.
Thanks for the wiki link. I will go through it.
I have literally written about that in the post above.
This solved my issue with pipewire defaulting to my speakers instead of the headphones I’d set as default after I reboot my desktop… Thanks!

Hi just to update:
I installed wireplumber:
sudo pacman -S wireplumber
and rebooted. Unfortunately it did not fix the problem so I reverted back using:
sudo pacman -S pipewire-media-session
and rebooted.
I updated my computer I think yesterday and today I am not facing the problem. I think the update fixed it. Now it remembers the volume level and also that the headphones are plugged in.

This is a feature of a cutting-edge rolling release distro. Updates happen, bugs are fixed, regressions can occur.
