so i got arch yesterday (19th of march) and i tried to join vc, theres no mic input, i tried to play a youtube video, theres no output. I don't know if I need to set up any drivers or anything for the speakers? I don't even know if what I'm trying to say is making any sense. Please help!

it says the output is dummy output
like what the hell does that mean? ive searched in other forums and i dont know how to apply their solutions to mine

you need to tell people what you've installed, if you haven't installed anything for it, maybe consider pipewire, or pulseaudio (I would recommend pipewire), check the wiki for more information
craggy plover
you need to tell people what you've installed, if you haven't installed anything...
ive tried sudo pacman -S pulseaudio
but it says it doesnt exist
is it in aur?
bright girder
@craggy plover can you run sudo pacman -Syu pulseaudio?
safe pivot
do you use ALSA, PulseAudio or PipeWire for your audio?
autumn wren
ive tried sudo pacman -S pulseaudio
.aw pulse_audio
visual hingeBOT
.aw pulse_audio
autumn wren
ive tried sudo pacman -S pulseaudio
I mean unless you’re not on arch, it does exist, according to the wiki page and the packages db
craggy plover
do you use ALSA, PulseAudio or PipeWire for your audio?
i dont know

alsamixer

bright girder
you have pipewire installed.
craggy plover
at first let's just try typing in ``alsamixer``
bright girder
systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse.service pipewire.service wireplumber.service

have you checked the Configuration tab in pavucontrol as sometimes the profile defaults to off which is not what we want.
craggy plover
have you checked the `Configuration` tab in pavucontrol as sometimes the profile...
what is pavucontrol?
craggy plover
ah okay ill do that now <3
craggy plover
have you checked the `Configuration` tab in pavucontrol as sometimes the profile...
LOLLL
why isn't it detecting the fact that ihave fucking speakers bruh
bright girder
that's strange.
craggy plover
does audio normally work immediately from the time you install arch
or is this something you manually do
bright girder
have you tried installing sof-firmware
craggy plover
have you tried installing `sof-firmware`
trying it now
im getting a lot of warnings
but it installed
now wat
bright girder
wdym, by warnings?
craggy plover
wdym, by warnings?
bright girder
yeah, it's fine. just reboot
craggy plover
yeah, it's fine. just reboot
oh ya btw another random question
when i reboot
i get something called error failed virtual console setup
before it goes to my lockscreen
why is that?
bright girder
not pretty sure about that.
craggy plover
its fine
should i just remove pipewire and get pulseaudio instead
because theyre in conflict so they can be together
or do i just work with pipewire
@autumn wren its because i have pipewire
bright girder
atm, it seems like you have some drivers issue.
craggy plover
yeah i figure
d
ill try and work it out
thank you all <3
I FUXED IT
I FIXED IT
i had to unmute the master
LOL

<@183577215324258304> its because i have pipewire
so then you told us the wrong error, I think you just work with pipewire
