New user here, new to linux in general. I've tried to do my best to solve the problem on my own before asking questions but I am out of my depth and have been at this for a day now.
I have a fresh install of Arch Linux on my Acer laptop, with Hyprland as the desktop environment. When installing Arch I believe I selected Pipewire as my audio server but that is for sure what I am on now. I've tried switching to and from Pulse-Audio, and I've tried switching between Wireplumber and Pipewire-Media-Session.
In Pavucontrol my headphones are successfully showing up when plugged in, and I should note that my headphones are just being plugged in via the audio jack, nothing fancy.
Running aplay -l shows me I have 1 intel device and 4 nvidia devices but I'm not even sure if this is right because my soundcard is realtek. Maybe this is normal?
Anyways, any and all help is appreciated. If you need me to dump logs just tell me what to type and I will be happy to drop the output here.
