#

No sound, help please, I'm so fucking tired man

#

I feel like roadrash

#

would recommend you open a thread in ⁠linux-support , include all the pipewire packages you have installed, all the pulse audio packages you have installed, what kernel and nvidia package you use, and what kernel parameters you have set, as well as anything in journalctl and systemctl that you think could be even remotely relevant, oh and the hardware in play

#

@slim pike Neat, how

#

...

#

Or pray tell Mr. Cookies, how does only as unfortunate as I, manage to display all the pulse audio packages I have installed on my Distro

slim pike Apr 9, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

@faint tendon I believe you were saying pacman -Q would be an effective manner, and perhaps with a | grep pulseaudio appended to the end of it to help narrow things down?

faint tendon Apr 9, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

yes

#

@next haven

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

Yes?

#

Oh I blocked cookies

slim pike Apr 9, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

Okay, might as well leave the thread then, good luck with your issue 🙂

faint tendon Apr 9, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

next haven Oh I blocked cookies

why?

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

Mods said "if it avoids future conflict, then do it"

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

faint tendon why?

Anyway, here's the output

#

If you want EVERY package then I guess I could provide that, but I don't see that being helpful

#

Idk if maybe I need alsa?

#

But looking on the archwiki, I can't figure it out

#

Maybe the server isn't started?

#

But I really don't know how to fix this

#

I also have wireplumber

#

Ok so I removed pipewire-pulse

#

Nope

#

Readded it, nope

#

Idk what to do

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

@next haven have you read the pipewire page on the wiki thoroughly?

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

I have

#

I followed everything

#

But nothing is working

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

You need to get rid of all things pulseaudio and just keep pipewire stuff...

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

I can' t even start the service

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

subtle lagoon You need to get rid of all things pulseaudio and just keep pipewire stuff...

I have

#

Unless you also mean pipewire pulse

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

You don't have to start services... It uses sockets

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

Well that wasn't on the wiki page

#

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

subtle lagoon You don't have to start services... It uses sockets

No idea how those work

#

So, do I get rid of pipewire pulse?

#

Also the gui I used for my audio stuff is gone

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

You have no sound at all?

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

Well no

#

That's the issue

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

Show the alsamixer output

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

Uh

#

How?

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Unmute_with_alsamixer

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture

#

You need alsa-utils

#

Make sure the channels are unmuted

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

Mhm

#

Um

#

Also I don't think it being muted is the issue

#

Like, ANYTHING that would normally play a sound, makes my apps nearly crash

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

Alsa not asla

#

You made a typo

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

I may be dumb

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

Look try this and i'll get back to you later i'm in class

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

help

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

We'll look at this better later

#

Unless someone else wants to help

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

Idk what to do here

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

...

#

Unmute master

#

Press m

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

Ok

#

I still don't hear anything

#

Also I used a gui before, not this cli thing

#

foxsit

#

Welp

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

Post the output of systemctl --user status pipewire

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

active..............

#

I'm going to scream

#

Active my ass

#

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

Hmm

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

next haven Idk what to do here

Here in alsamixer

#

Are there any other soundcards

#

Press f6

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

4

#

#

3 is my headphones output

#

Idk which one is my mic input

#

Either 0 or 1

#

Cuz it's not a USB mic

#

USB device is my 2nd webcam

#

It's probably HDA Intel PCH, as I don't have hdmi audio rn

#

Headphones look fine, but it's not getting audio

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

What do you get if you select the NVIDIA one

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

Nothing

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

Okay

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

Restart pipewire

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:54 PM

#

How do I get the standard audio gui from plasma?

#

Cuz that worked fine

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:54 PM

#

subtle lagoon Restart pipewire

How?

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:54 PM

#

systemctl --user restart pipewire

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:55 PM

#

Uh

#

Should it not return something?

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:55 PM

#

No

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:55 PM

#

Oh

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:55 PM

#

No audio still?

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:55 PM

#

No...

#

Testing that crashed discord

#

I think you're barking up the wrong tree, if I can get the old gui I was using it's probably just something being off

#

Something got uninstalled when we did the last thing you suggested

#

Can I somehow find out what it was?

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

What last thing?

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

#

This, whatever happened here fucked it

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

The command didn't even go through...

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

subtle lagoon The command didn't even go through...

No...that's not what I meant

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

next haven

I did do this, after

#

I know how to install something

#

But whatever it did, fucked it

#

Everything

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

subtle lagoon The command didn't even go through...

I always post the screenshot BEFORE hitting enter

#

I ran the command after, as is evident by me not having pulseaudio

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

What's the output of wpctl status

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 6:04 PM

#

I reinstalled pulse, I can hear shit now

#

But I can't adjust my volume

#

I at least want to get SOMETHING working before I try to fix my main issue

#

Not being able to stream discord audio

#

Like, my sound control panel is just gone

#

I can HEAR now, but I only have the shitty pulseaudio sound panel

#

Where's the other one which is usually on the taskbar?

subtle lagoon Apr 9, 2024, 6:07 PM

#

plasma-pa

next haven Apr 9, 2024, 6:07 PM

#

I also can't use my keyboard to adjust sound

#

But I had kpipewire, why didn't it fucking work

#

Ok, this is the issue NOW

#

I've fixed probably as much as I can

#

I'm so fucking close to figuring this out

#

It's just ONE issue

#

My error popups crash because there's no audio sink...

#

Help

#

AHAHAHA

#

IT WAS FUCKING WIREPLUMBER

#

ARE YOU FUCKING ME

#

I installed pipewire-media-session and it fixed it

#

ARE YOU

#

KIDDING
