When requesting support, please include specific, detailed, and relevant information about your system and issue.

We need such information because we don't know what it's like inside your system, and it's unlikely that we know much about the issue you're facing. The more information you can provide, the better we can help you with your specific issue.

Some examples of frequently requested information include the steps you took before your issue occurred (such as system updates), the steps you took to resolve your issue and their results, and your environment (such as your display manager or desktop environment).

Vague or superficial questions lead to vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

[ionic pike]

Okay

Do you have intel? For me i had to install the sof-firmware package

[ionic pike]

Hi, yeah i do have an intel sound card

Then install sof-firmware

the issue is that alsa and pulse detect sound

but the built in speaker dont work

alr how, i've tried before

manjero is fairly new

to me

since im use to debian stuff

You said you use arch

[ionic pike]

Isnt manjero based off arch?

Thats why i came here

[sage prawn]

is ubuntu debian?

Its a different distro for a reason

[ionic pike]

Yeah, i did

[ionic pike]

Different distro still

[sage prawn]

.s manjaro

[cold spire]

Reasons to not use Manjaro:
• https://github.com/arindas/manjarno
• https://www.hadet.dev/Manjaro-Bad
• https://rentry.co/manjaro-controversies
• https://manjarno.snorlax.sh
• https://averagelinuxuser.com/manjaro-review

[ionic pike]

See?

manjaro

Damn

Completely no reason to use manjarNO

If you wanna have arch but with gui pre-installed then use endeavour os

Alr

but first, how to install sof-firmware

[sage prawn]

gl lol

[ionic pike]

Okay, so you came into arch without knowing how to install stuff

[ionic pike]

Listen man, i just need help bro

pacman -S sof-firmware

Alr lets see if it works

It didnt work the last time

now it did

Okay then reboot

[sage prawn]

And some piece of advice, if u have issues with installing packages, u prob should start with a different distro

[ionic pike]

Yeah

[ionic pike]

I didnt have any

i started on linux mint

ig its just different commands

And why you didn't stay on it

[sage prawn]

u didnt?

[ionic pike]

I just did it

[ionic pike]

Sound

and i did smth that broke it

and now my computer dosent wanna install it back

cus it cant find my drive

So sound didn't work in mint neither

nope

and i broke it too

so now im on manjaro

because mint wouldnt load and etc

And why specifically manjarNO

[ionic pike]

Youtuber

plus i heard arch is cutting edge

and i didnt know you could install arch with gui installed

If you really want arch then endeavour

But even with gui pre-installed arch is for people who want to read manpages

And you didn't even read #readme-support-access

[sage prawn]

And for ppl that are able to google shit

[ionic pike]

Yeah

So return to mint

didnt work

i just rebooted

And stay on it till you will be advanced enough

[ionic pike]

.

well

i first tried going back to windows, and i installed a chipset

and for some reason

when i tried to install mint

2 times btw

it says its an unknown chipset

plus

it says it cant find my drive

and when i do, usually on the manufacture install

it dont let me and it just crashes

Then xubuntu or any Ubuntu

(xubuntu doesn't have snap that's a big benefit)

Ohhh

Alr

I came to linux for privacy and learning about computers

and i came back with my sound card brutally raped

How can a os break your hardware

I dont think its the OS its self

I feel like its the hardware i got thats causing an issue

because ig

windows dose it differently?

Does sound work on windows?

[ionic pike]

I dont even know

cus i cant install it back either

Why

no chipsets are available

and windows wont show

my

drives

and trying to fix it broke my shit further

You said that Mint said that

Yes

both mind

mint now

and windows

both

wont

show

windows was first

then mint after i tried to fix it

But manjarNO did

and now im on here

yeah

It worked

I installed it using GPT

with my flash drive

Install xubuntu it might detect the drives

Alr

i'll ping you back when im done

@ionic pike and check the mark to install third party drivers

[ionic pike]

Hi, should i use MBR or GPT

[ionic pike]

Gpt

Mbr is recommended for old bios systems

hi i did it using mbr and it works

[ionic pike]

now my computer wont shut off

it says an error

[ionic pike]

What error

[ionic pike]

I forced it off

its on now

but no sound still

sudo apt install ubuntu-drivers

[ionic pike]

it says its unable to locate the packages

[sage prawn]

Man u really need to start using your 🧠

[ionic pike]

How can i use it

if i dont know what to do

lmao

[sage prawn]

Research

Searchengines exist

[ionic pike]

I have been using them

[sage prawn]

But all this here wont help u for future issues

[ionic pike]

and it led me to this situation

[ionic pike]

Yeah but how do i do it

if its unable to do it

[sage prawn]

trial and error

[ionic pike]

i'll loook it up but i came here to know whats wrong with my speakers

i just want audio man

[sage prawn]

Fix it :D

and use pipewire instead of pulseaudio

[ionic pike]

why not help instead lmao

[sage prawn]

#1146021159301820446 message
bc that were the only information u were ready to give

[ionic pike]

Isnt pulseaudio smth that adds on to alsa?

how does pulseaudio cause issues

[sage prawn]

Well it does

[ionic pike]

Output dosent work

alsa and pulse say audio is being processed

but my laptop speakers arnt sounding

[sage prawn]

tried muting it and unmuting?

[ionic pike]

headphones do

[sage prawn]

speakers broken?

[ionic pike]

I have done everything in the book man

[ionic pike]

I have no idea, i didnt do any physical damage

it says it works and it exist

i did lspci

its all good

but the built in speakers dont work

[sage prawn]

well have u checked with windows or something?

or some live environment?

[ionic pike]

I cant get windows back, call me stupid or whatever

but it dosent list the drives

plus

there is no chipset that i can get

I got the intel rapid thingy

and it didnt get any chipset

[sage prawn]

What laptop do you have

[ionic pike]

MSI cyborg 15

uses NVIDIA GPU

and an intel 17

i7*

sound card is the default intel sound card ig

[sage prawn]

did u install pavucontrol?

[ionic pike]

back when i was on mint, it didnt really help

i just installed it now and imma reboot

Didnt work

https://alsa-project.org/wiki/Help_To_Debug

[sage prawn]

Does your laptop has a key combination to mute it or something

[ionic pike]

Download the alsa info script

[sage prawn]

is it muted in pavucontrol?

[ionic pike]

I dont know, but the speakers arnt muded

And run it

[ionic pike]

no

its not muted

[sage prawn]

are u sure?

[ionic pike]

its not low vol

yes

i am sure

[ionic pike]

.

fr sure

alr

U know how to run scripts right?

[ionic pike]

just tell me incase

im worried i might screw it up

You first make them executable by chmod +x /path/to/script Then you just enter /path/to/script and it will run

[ionic pike]

how do i make them executable, its just an sh file

oh alr

i didnt read it right

Okay

What's the output of the script

This script visits the following commands/files to collect diagnostic
information about your ALSA installation and sound related hardware.

@ionic pike

run it as root

Hope that you know how to run as root

no i dont

i'll search

[sage prawn]

How did u even use linux before

[ionic pike]

Oooooh

Sudo

[ionic pike]

Oh he knows to search! That's progress

[ionic pike]

Sudo right?

Yes

Ahh

I didnt get what you meant sorry

yes ik what sudo is lmao

let me run it

[ionic pike]

Said the same thing

[sage prawn]

I doubt that

whats the command that u ran

[ionic pike]

It didn't say the dmesg line definitely

[sage prawn]

not the script, the command

what did u enter in the terminal

[ionic pike]

Read the output of the command

There is written what you should do

sudo /home/comp/Downloads/alsa-info_alsa-info.sh

Okay

why does it keep saying it cant find package

What package

it says i need dmesg

but when i install

it dont get it

???

It says it cant locate the package

Search what package provides dmesg

[sage prawn]

.s rs

[cold spire]

<command to print output> |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs

[ionic pike]

just did

i searched

"What package provides dmesg"

and i get

"How to use dmesg"

"What is dmesg"

?

man

i used google to search it lmao

if i need to use to terminal

please tell me how

Try running dmesg

[ionic pike]

Well

I have it

i guess i have to see if i have others

Where does it tell you that you don't have it

the diagnostic you gave me

it said i needed dmesg

Show it to me

[ionic pike]

.

And where is written that you don't have it

I just assumed what it says there means i dont have it

im still a noob

https://www.wikihow.com/Teach-Yourself-to-Read

Bro

Im stuck with linux

Please read stuff and i provided an article how to do it

i can read fine

it wasnt the reading thats the issue

its the assumption

i assumed whatever it said means i dont have it

If you had this issue on windows you would likely have to read too

[ionic pike]

And why

[ionic pike]

because its a diagnostic

why would it say it if i have it

Because you want to know what a command is doing

It would say command is missing if you didn't have it

ok i guess i have to learn how to read

audio is still dead

and im using an ubuntu os

not an arch one

while the other laptop i have has windows 10

So you expected Ubuntu/Windows to be pictures only like a childs book

[ionic pike]

No

lol

[ionic pike]

Okay so please read this

[ionic pike]

I read the bottom part

Nice

supposidly the snd

isnt permitted access

Then run as root

You know you can screen share right?

[sage prawn]

or justr use

.s rs

[cold spire]

<command to print output> |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs

[ionic pike]

Or use EndeavourOS

Tho by what I read they should just use mint

[ionic pike]

says the same thing with sudo

[sage prawn]

NO NO NO NONONONONO

[ionic pike]

snd isnt permitted access

[ionic pike]

Paste the output

[ionic pike]

Read the later

#10843 📣 ```js
If You’re a Help Vampire…

Now you know. Stop. Of course, it’s not just that easy, or nobody would ever be a Help Vampire at all.

Before you ask a question in a community, try to find the answer elsewhere. This way you help yourself by stretching your mind and research abilities, and you learn things more thoroughly too. Plus it’s good karma.

Always try these avenues first:

Keep troubleshooting. Often we learn that it’s easier to give up and ask for help rather than persisting—when we’d get our breakthrough if we’d only delay giving up for another 10 minutes. Respect yourself, go a little further before giving up.
Google, of course. Google partial error messages, add software names to your queries, and generally try at least 3 or 4 searches before you give it up as hopeless.
Mailing lists, forums, and newsgroups. Chances are, you’re not the first person on the Earth to have this problem. Luckily we live in an age where we can search the past. Check out these resources next.
Docs. Sometimes they seem impenetrable, but give it a whack. The more you learn, the easier the documentation will be to understand and decipher.
Ask your question—but phrase it differently. Instead of asking your question directly, ask “Has anyone has seen this problem?” or “Can anyone point me in the right direction?” Likely as not, someone will have been there before, and they might know a blog posting or other resource which can help you out. This way, you show you are respectful of their time, and understand your problem is (probably) not unique.```

[ionic pike]

In a nutshell

[sage prawn]

formatting is bad lol

[ionic pike]

Regarding your issue. Use pipewire and Arch

[ionic pike]

Ik

[sage prawn]

and Arch

[ionic pike]

if i hadnt formatted

i would still have windows

[ionic pike]

Can you imagine a person who doesn't know to read using arch?

[ionic pike]

They use manjaro so

[sage prawn]

Ubuntu

[ionic pike]

On windows you still need support

[ionic pike]

Then mint. Anything but manjaro

[sage prawn]

or arch or any arch based distro

[ionic pike]

Mint doesn't work. They switched to ubuntu

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/662006221037109248.png?quality=lossless&size=48

alr

I just went into the text file

it shows what i have

If they still don't have sound then it's hardware issue

Put it into paste.rs

You can't blame a distro for everything.

[ionic pike]

what is paste.rs

[sage prawn]

.s rs

[cold spire]

<command to print output> |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs

[sage prawn]

.s paste

[cold spire]

Snippet not found.

[sage prawn]

.s paste

[cold spire]

Paste short snippets, up to a few lines, in channel. Please do not use pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com; some good, sane paste services are ix.io, paste.rs, bpaste.net, and gist.github.com.
See .s ix or .s rs for an easy way to paste from a pipe.

[ionic pike]

do i literally just copy the whole text into a single terminal command

[ionic pike]

open the f*ing firefox and search it

[ionic pike]

No

[ionic pike]

Don't ping me. I did general troubleshooting.

Nothing else

[ionic pike]

didnt mean to, wrong ping

i meant to say to you that it started on mint

when i downloaded nvidia from the website

[sage prawn]

First mistake

[ionic pike]

yes dont rub it in please

https://paste.rs/web

ik i commited murder on my kernal

for that

Put the contents there

ok

Just to say. You should use pipewire. And if you still have no audio, check hardware

[ionic pike]

so pulse is bad?

[sage prawn]

Already did say that

[ionic pike]

I'm leaving. Don't be a vampire. GL

ok i will try pipeware

i dont get why nvidia fucked up my pc bad

[sage prawn]

u did, not nvidia

[ionic pike]

What's the contents of the file

[ionic pike]

i dont think im a software

its my fault

but the software did the thing either way

i just allowed it

[ionic pike]

code

https://paste.rs/KrMYA.txt

here

should i go somewhere ubuntu related?

prolly

[sage prawn]

Go nowhere, install windows

[ionic pike]

I cant

thats the issue

[sage prawn]

well too bad then

go visit a windows server

[ionic pike]

Alr, at least i can run more stuff

none are on

I personally have alsa-sof-firmware alsa-lib and sof-firmware installed

Try installing them

ok

[ionic pike]

it cant find the alsa-sof-firmware

[ionic pike]

What about othes

Others

[ionic pike]

same thing with soft firmware

nothing bro

[ionic pike]

And what about alsa-lib

[ionic pike]

Let me screenshot so you can see im not shitting you

d

Imma try and see if i can update the drivers

@ionic pike Sound fixed temporaraly

If you tell me, which is the best sound thing for linux

because it seems alsa is the issue

[ionic pike]

It's pipewire not pipeware bruh

[ionic pike]

You know you need alsa to get audio right?

.aw alsa

[cold spire]

Arch Wiki: Alsa

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa

[ionic pike]

Man dont treat me like im on your level, stop being arrogant lol

now it stopped working due to a force shutdown

i fixed it by reinstalling all of alsa again

it worked

but i knew it would do this again

[ionic pike]

Like if they were begging for help without putting in any effort to do so
