pstree -T
To check what you have running related to audio.
ok, just pulseaudio
yh
what issue do you have?
so no audio at all
yh
Do you have an audio settings app? Can you see the devices and stuff there?
output devices tab?
i think it didn't detect the sound card
cat /proc/asound/cards
says no sound card
lspci -k | grep -iC 3 aud
ok so it did not exist?
yh
try rebooting
sure
then if still no audio, do:
journalctl -x -b -p 3
should i run that
did you add the -b flag?
done
Nothing?
journalctl -x -b -p 3 | grep -i pulse
ok i don't think those errors are related, but could be
you could try running pipewire instead of pulse. otherwise at this moment i have no idea.
oh
I do not use pulseaudio myself, there might be something to do to fix that in pulse, but i have no experience.
sudo pacman -S pipewire wireplumber pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa
sudo pacman -Rns pulseaudio
done
restart and see
sure
ok, keep pipewire anyway
sure
ohh
pstree -T
i think this is the problem
no audio card
its just dummy
output
how to install the audio card now

but like isn't he pipewire
And be sure you're not missing packages
already installed
yeah we switched to pipewire from pulseaudio
Send output of pactl info
the sound cards are not detected at all in both cases
And if you're on pipewire, be sure you have all the packages even wireplumber
yeah the pipewire setup is fine
How about changing pavucontrol configuration on last tab of it?
how to go about doing it
Open pavucontrol and go to the last tab on the right then change the config
Then it's something else. Be sure you have all pipewire packages
pacman -Qs pipewire
required pipewire stuff are running
Can't read that
Phone

lol
i hope everything is there
hm
i was trying to install pipewire-media-session
its saying its in conflict with wireplumber
is it worth deleting the
wire plumber?
and install pipewire-media-session
no, wireplumber is the new media-session
you either have a device / firmware issue, but there are no errors about it, or lightdm is the issue.
ohh
hm lighdm issue
what can i do about it

delete it?
How about checking pipewire and wireplumber logs
Use systemctl to check
systemctl status wireplumber
And so on
Also journalctl
... journalctl

To actively follow log (like tail -f):
journalctl -f
To display all errors since last boot:
journalctl -b -p err
To filter by time period:

$```
Then you don't have it installed
but i did install them
let me do it again
to double check
pacman -Qs pipewire
pacman -Qs wireplumber
Will tell if installed
oh
What
Can't read that on phone
here is the pacman-Qs pipewire's
output
What does it say

You are missing the lib32 packages and pipewire-v4l2 and the portal package
imma install them
For ez Installation, use yay
ohh
Just yay pipewire and send a shot
It will show what's installed and what isn't
bash: yay: command not found
So you don't have yay
On arch, you should have an aur helper
im using pacman
So I am. But an aur helper is part of using Arch
.aw aur helper
ohhh
And yay is that
To get it
let me install it then
using pacman -S yay
right
lol
😂
oh wait
i need to use git
$ cd /opt
$ sudo git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-git.git
💀
don't even exist
lmfao
sudo pacman -S base-devel linux-headers linux-lts linux-lts-headers linux-firmware git wget curl && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -sir```
oh
That should get some base missing packages and yay
installing
oh
Then install the missing pipewire packages
hopefully my audio will work 😭
yes
.aw pipewire
For more info
.aw pipewire
xD
bot seems to be
offline
Rip qbot
rip
.aw pipewire
Works now
oh damn what just happened
some how
my all the apps got
turned off
including terminal
now when i run sudo pacman -S base-devel linux-headers linux-lts linux-lts-headers linux-firmware git wget curl && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -sir
again
x.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -sir
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
error: could not lock database: File exists
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
i should remove it
okay cool its back to installing
fatal: could not create work tree dir 'yay': No such file or directory
hm
whys that?
You don't have another pacman opened right?
Remove the file if no other pacman is running
Then try again
Also remove yay folder
By default it should be on your home folder
i mean like some how terminal was closed
Odd
Try again
It shouldn't happen as you were installing base components
yh
😭
i should restart
Try. But you need to get those packages
Then pipewire
okay
restarting
did work
phew
i thought i messed up
sure
its done
now
@polar reef yay pipewire right
i see there are many packages it
seems to be asking for
which package i want
OMGGGG
i installed this package
about audio jack
NOW I CAN HEAR audio
@polar reef
but the problem is its coming from my laptop's speaker
rather then my headphone
Yes. Send the output
btw
i can hear the sound from my speaker
when i switch to
now when i go to the headphone unplugged
i can't hear from the yt
but when i try the audio test
i can do hear
But still idk if you installed the missing pipewire packages
like there are many is there way to
install all of them
in one try
Yes. Send output of yay pipewire
sending
wait u are in phone
right

wtf??
installing jack fixed your entire audio?
i mean i can hear the
audio
from my speaker
now
so yeah
lol
need to fix headphone
this is really strange.
jack is only used by certain programs
Install all the packages from the extra repo but pipewire media session
Also, install the ones from the multilib repo
Ignore the community ones
Then sudo vim /etc/pacman.conf
Go to where it says misc options
Uncomment where it says color
Same with verbose
If theres no parallel downloads, add it like ParallelDownloads = 6 then add ILoveCandy
Then :wq
If you don't have vim, install it
i have it
let me see if there is
there is
ParallelDownloads = 5
not 6
That should configure pacman and next time yay will show colors. Try it
Set it to 6
and uncomment it?
Also check that multilib is enabled
Yup so pacman has faster downloads
#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
uncomment it?
Yes. Required for pipewire and steam if you plan to play games.
done
Then sudo pacman -Syu
So it creates a database for multilib
done
Then yay pipewire and install the packages from multilib
This time yay will show colors
Helps to read
What about the multilib ones
Also what desktop/wm you use
So you install the right portal
xfce
desktop
sure
Required to get audio
Each desktop hss it's own portal so check wiki
oh
Or you can do yay xdg portal
But use wiki for reference
So you get the right one
That should fix the audio issue
Ofc reboot after all of this
Then test your audio
yes
So is your issue solved?
It should as you installed all the missing packages
trying to find xdg portal
Which is used by Firefox and others
ohh

Then reboot and test your audio
yes
rebooting

Audio4Linux/JDSP4Linux: An audio effect processor for PipeWire ... - GitHub
If you want better audio
oh man
no sound in the headphones
may be i need alsamixer
Try. But so far your audio works
yh
apparently
seems like
my headphone jack is being used as a mic's jack
im trying to override
to make it for
headphones rather then mic's
hdajackretask
im using
alsa-tools
but its keep on giving me this error
@polar reef
oh wait
i think it changed it
let me try
no it didn't
still microphone
ugh
@polar reef
it just was't working
i tried everything
alteast inbuilt speaker works
and guess what
by headphones works when im using them using bluetooth
lol
@polar reef so you got your audio fully working? i'm asking bc i couldn't get my audio to work last night and i might try some of these same steps.
last night i ended up giving up and installing windows (UGH) but i miss linux... gonna try reinstalling now and might open a separate support ticket of my own if some of these same tips don't work for me.
well
i deleted the
arch
😭
oh no 🥲
im thinking
to reinstall too
i like arch
what did you do instead? are you using something else with audio working?
it's a totally diff setup in my case. it's a desktop pc but i'm connecting via aux cable
ah i see
but the things need to be same
i can help
in desktop things will be easy
yeah i'll see what i can do on my own. i was just beating my head against the wall last night. i should've just asked for help yesterday. i will if i hit the same problem otday
i was
trying to make it work
for like 18 hours
😦 yeah sounds similar here.
from 4 PM to 12 AM last night...8 hours in my case. but still. so maddening
are your audio drivers intel by chance?
mine are
yes it is
lmao can be
i didn't sleep till 6 am
💀
5pm - 6 am
i got this nice ass motherboard but can't get the audio to work. just upgraded my pc and got a z790-e asus
makes me want to die
btw
are there any
ACPI
errors
while booting up or restarting
um i can't remember let me check. i took some screenshots lmao...
i mean when u restart or reboot
the system
was there some instances
where it get stuck
uploading pics now
oh they might be a weird format
can you see them? if not i can reupload
xhci_pci
closest error to what you said
this was just when i was installing it
that ig ot those errors
since i reformatted to windows, idk what was happening on startup since i lost the logs
i'll need to retry today
missing firmware that can be the problem
i had that errors
it helps
to communicate with the devices
attached with the computer
might be the chance that
it was not detecting
jack
yeah seems like it could be related?? 
i'm going to retry the install now but i've got disc open on my phone
related to sound
oh damn disc is on ur phone? u mean sd card
lmao

ye I’m trying rn but dw about me for a while lol. it’ll take me like 30 mins to get it going
btw
Maybe more
Yeah Idk if I liked it tbh. I kinda like Cinnamon more maybe
far less bloated
performance
its like the
best
minimal stuff
clean UI
Have you tried the arch install script? I’m tempted. I’ve installed arch “successfully” now manually and Idk if I care to again lol
But now I’m considering using the archinstall script

It looks like something you can choose?
Idk I have a blue role tag though
You have a red one
idk from where i did and when
lmao
anyways
Maybe when you started the server?
I was using btrfs before for the file system… think that’s ok still or should I go easy and use ext4?
for the root
u can't
u can in
debian
but not in arch
Oh word? That’s cool
oh
Both Deb based and easier to install
yes
If I have two disks, do I need root/efi etc. on BOTH? No, right? I just need that on one? And the other can just have a flat file system?
I need to go read the arch wiki lol
yh
u need to make
wait i never tried
with two disks
I’m doing 2G EFI, 12G swap, 300G root, 1.5T filesystem.
And then the other will be 1.8T filesystem
u can indeed go for
make one /root
and other as a flat file system
but i wonder
if u can merge both of them
but u can't actually
Is this what “stacked disk” means? I think I saw that in the wiki
Oh
I’m gonna go read up on it. Ping me if you want ☺️
can u send that page
i wanna see how u stack
the disks
Ye sec once I find it
sounds like LVM allows it? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LVM
LVM gives you more flexibility than just using normal hard drive partitions:
Use any number of disks as one big disk. Have logical volumes stretched over several disks.
doesn't btrfs allow this too though? i need to read up on that one. ppl say it's better but idk exactly why
there is a big disclaimer on the arch linux page re: btrfs saying some people might not find it stable enough
which makes me hesitant as a newer linux user. might just try lvm instead
yes
btrfs
can be little hard to deal with
even LVM
btw how much space u have in one drive
each drive is 1.8T. one of the drives is a little fucked up so that will just be backup storage. i'll put the system on the other one and just have the other as spare
yeah but...why not use it all? 😅
u can use other as a flat file
why do you say that?
you said "u need to use btrfs." why?
i was thinking about ZFS too. but that requires a separate package
to do in ext4?
i'm not sure about that
oh
ZFS kinda clean
plus it's got the coolest name tbh
yh
yess
lmao idk why

That makes me feel overwhelmed to look at lol
u know whats the most hilarious part?
i was installing

can you customize it? like add new panels?
😌

Lmfaooooo
