fresh arch install. ive installed pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack and wireplumber and rebooted. apparently it should just work.

according to archwiki you can confirm pipewire-pulse is working by checking the output of pactl info, and confirming the Default Sink and Default Source are correct, but for me it lists auto_null and auto_null.monitor respectively.

i thought that might mean the services pipewire-pulse.service and pipewire-pulse.socket which were supposed to be enabled automatically werent enabled, but when trying to enable them it says Failed to enable unit: Unit pipewire-pulse.service does not exist and Failed to enable unit: Unit pipewire-pulse.socket does not exist.

systemctl --user enable pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber

still getting auto_null and auto_null.monitor for default sink and source

quick echo

pactl list cards outputs nothing

#

and aplay -l outputs aplay: device_list:279: no soundcards found...

quick echo
#

it seems like whether or not the kernel detects any soundcards is shown in /proc/asound/cards but this only contains --- no soundcards ---

#

lspci does list my soundcard 🤔
