Welcome @minku and thanks. First off you didn’t need to delete your post. You could have just edited it. Also you only have to post the link. It keeps things much cleaner and easier to read.

ah okay, sorry

No need to be sorry. I’m just trying to help you. I see that pipewire isn’t running.

Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.15.8-arch1-1 running: yes
  Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: N/A running: no
  Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: N/A running: no
8

when I try running pipewire it returns this

pipewire: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by pipewire)
pipewire: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /usr/lib/libpipewire-0.3.so.0)```

Try reinstalling it with the following first and then reboot.

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse --needed
10

when i try that it outputs this but i will restart anyways.

warning: pipewire-pulse-1:0.3.48-1 is up to date -- skipping
 there is nothing to do

update: yeah nothing happened

11

Try removing pipewire and revert to pulse audio.

sudo pacman -S pulseaudio
12

I tried doing that before, nothing happened, even after a restart.

13

Try it and see what it shows after reboot.

inxi -Aa
14

output post reboot

Audio:

  Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: N/A running: no
  Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: N/A running: no

I dont know why pipewire is still there and why pulseAudio isnt running

15

pipewire-alsa

16

Maybe it needs pipewire-alsa as @Shjim say’s.

sudo pacman -S pipewire-alsa
17

sadly nope : ( still doesnt work, theres no change : /

18

Well it is probably picking up the wrong sound device. What does alsamixer show? Post an image.

alsamixer
19

I cant launch alsamixer for some reason it shows this

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:337:(snd_dlobj_cache_get0) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_ctl_pipewire.so (/usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /usr/lib/libpipewire-0.3.so.0))
20

There seems to be an issue with the GLIBC_2.34 file. :thinking:

21

how do i fix that?
