I am on arch, and initially pulseaudio didn't work. Now though I've f'ed around and I don't know what I even have installed. Help me install pipewire and make sound work.
#Audio doesn't work.

I don't think so no

loopback analog stereo implies the device is outputting to itself
rugged lynx
It doesn't have any other options when I click on it
sinful crater
do you have anything on the configuration tab?
my built in audio is set to analog stereo duplex, because i have two speakers and a stereo mic in my laptop, and they all are analog
if i switch it to hdmi, it starts trying to output to displayport
rugged lynx
do you have anything on the configuration tab?
It doesn't let me scrnsht, it basically only has a bajillion of "analog stereo ..." and "analog surround ..."
sinful crater
pick analog stereo duplex and try your sound stuff again
rugged lynx
pick analog stereo duplex and try your sound stuff again
It was already picked
sinful crater
and it did not work?
hm
does your device have a dedicated sound card of some sort
like a DAC or something
rugged lynx
Idk I don't think so. It was working last time I opened my pc
About 3 days ago I think

don't you need wireplumber for actually detecting hardware changes ??
sinful crater
might be the case, try installing it
rugged lynx
I already have it
sinful crater
sinful crater
actually, is that the only device you see?
rugged lynx
Yes
sinful crater
and how exactly is your device connected to your headphones
what even is your device
rugged lynx
I have a pc unit. It's connected via audio jack. I tested both the front I/O and the one on the back and neither work.
rugged lynx
or aplay -l?
rugged lynx
pc or laptop?
pc
The audio works fine on windows btw so it's def not the sound card's fault.
