[SOLVED]Videos not playing (no audio now)

[hoary shale]

First there was no audio then I tried to fix it now the video is not playing help needed

[tranquil quiver]

Not playing where?

[pulsar pasture]

pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse

videos don't play if the audio setup is broken

Those commands will fix it assuming you did not break it in some other way when trying to fix it

[hoary shale]

Online videos aren't playing and there is no audio

[hoary shale]

I tried to fix the audio but the video stopped playing and the audio didn't get fixed too

[hoary shale]

I'll try this

[tranquil quiver]

Just install pipewire see if works.

[hoary shale]

I'm a Lil busy rn I'll do it a little later

pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse
This right?

[hoary shale]

WAIT WHAT

It workeddd?????

It's lagging might be because of my potato pc

[hoary shale]

I think now the frame rate became low

[hoary shale]

I think now the framerate became low

And still no audio

I think it's lagging because when I go to change quality it lags a little

[tranquil quiver]

Check aplay -l

[hoary shale]

Then?

[tranquil quiver]

What is the output?

[hoary shale]

Have connected the tv speakers using aux cable

The audio didn't travel through HDMI so used aux cable

[tranquil quiver]

Ok, run systemctl --user status pipewire output

[tranquil quiver]

Did you reboot?

[hoary shale]

After doing this?

[tranquil quiver]

Yes?

[hoary shale]

Uh

I didnt

But The video started playing

[tranquil quiver]

Reboot.

[hoary shale]

K

[hoary shale]

So now this?

[tranquil quiver]

Yeah, and show the output.

[hoary shale]

Idk what this means btw

[tranquil quiver]

Now try playing some video.

[hoary shale]

Okay

No audio and lagging

Not because of my potato pc this time

[tranquil quiver]

Make sure that the audio is not mutted.

[hoary shale]

I don't think so

[hoary shale]

Look it's unmuted in the player too

[tranquil quiver]

Install this alsa-utils

[hoary shale]

Ok

Command not found

My baddd

Wait

Na still command not found

[tranquil quiver]

sudo pacman -S alsa-utils?

[hoary shale]

Um my bad

Done

Still lag

And no audio

[hoary shale]

Am i cooked?

[tranquil quiver]

What?

[hoary shale]

I meant is it not fixable?

[tranquil quiver]

What makes you think that?

[hoary shale]

Idk i tried many things but it just didn't work

[hoary shale]

Maybe you can make it work🤔

[hoary shale]

I did this

[tranquil quiver]

Run in the terminal alsamixer

And show the output

[hoary shale]

Done

[tranquil quiver]

Hit Escape and run speaker-test -c 2 -t sine

[hoary shale]

Hist?

[tranquil quiver]

Just hit Escape and run that.

[hoary shale]

Kk

Output?

[tranquil quiver]

Did you hear anything?

[hoary shale]

Nope

Nothing at all

[hoary shale]

I have windows too audio works on it

So it's related to linux i think

[tranquil quiver]

Okay, run alsamixer

And hit F6

[hoary shale]

K

Now

[tranquil quiver]

Show the output

[hoary shale]

My computer speakers are bad i want to use my tv speakers

[tranquil quiver]

Select the second one and hit Enter/Return

Show the output

[hoary shale]

Had intel?

Hda

[tranquil quiver]

Yes

[hoary shale]

Oh well what's this

[hoary shale]

Maybe I have to go to speaker?

[tranquil quiver]

Go to speaker and Hit m

And the up arrow key.

[hoary shale]

It became 00

I did to 100

[tranquil quiver]

Yes.

[hoary shale]

Was this it?

[tranquil quiver]

Show me

[tranquil quiver]

Try this speaker-test -c 2 -t sine see if you can hear anything.

[hoary shale]

Tap esc?

Uh

Nothing

[tranquil quiver]

Try playing some video

[hoary shale]

Lag and no voice

[tranquil quiver]

Do you have any speeker pluged in?

Is it a desktop?

[hoary shale]

Uh i have tv plugged in

No other speakers

I use tv speakers

Did i answer correctly?

[tranquil quiver]

Okay, install this sudo pacman -S wireplumber pavucontrol after run systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse

[hoary shale]

Uh ok

My screen went black then came back

Done

[tranquil quiver]

Plug in some headphones or another speaker into your system, not the TV?

[hoary shale]

Lemme try headphones

[tranquil quiver]

And run speaker-test -c 2 -t sine

[hoary shale]

They are wireless

[tranquil quiver]

Just reboot.

[hoary shale]

Ah

Working

I tried something else

It worked

[tranquil quiver]

Magic

[hoary shale]

So what's wrong with my tv speakers?

[tranquil quiver]

What speaker are working?

[hoary shale]

It's this

This worked

[tranquil quiver]

Okay, show the output of pactl list short sinks

[hoary shale]

Something is suspended

[hoary shale]

I removed this

Is it because of the suspended?

[tranquil quiver]

Is the TV connected over HDMI?

[hoary shale]

For display - displayport to HDMI
For audio - aux

Displayport to HDMI isn't carrying audio 😔

Aux gives sterio audio

Aux to rca

[tranquil quiver]

Try this pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

after that run speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -D alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

[hoary shale]

PremiumAV 3.5mm to 2 RCA Audio Cable 1.5 Meter – Gold-Plated Stereo AUX to RCA Male Connector for Speaker, Amplifier, TV, Mobile, Home Theater, Audio System, Car Stereo https://amzn.in/d/1NOTkgk

[hoary shale]

That's long

[tranquil quiver]

Just copy the name from that.

[hoary shale]

Not working

[tranquil quiver]

Show me.

[hoary shale]

Wait my bad

[tranquil quiver]

The command is pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

[hoary shale]

Might have worked

Got no output

[tranquil quiver]

That is good, run paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

[hoary shale]

No output

[tranquil quiver]

Do you hear anything?

[hoary shale]

Na?

[tranquil quiver]

Run speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -D alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

[hoary shale]

💀

[tranquil quiver]

See if you can hear anything.

[tranquil quiver]

Or this speaker-test -c 2 -t sine

[hoary shale]

Nothing

[tranquil quiver]

Open alsamixer.

[hoary shale]

Done

Speaker is at MM again

[tranquil quiver]

Show.

[hoary shale]

I did it to 100 again uh

Can we do this after like 2 hours i gtg

Bye

[hoary shale]

Hi I'm back

Videos not playing (no audio now)

[hoary shale]

I think alsamixer resets when reboot

[hoary shale]

VIDEO IS NOT LAGGING ANYMORE IT WAS BECAUSE I TURNED OFF HARDWARE ACCELERATION

[tranquil quiver]

Yeah, I know that.

[tranquil quiver]

Does audio work?

[hoary shale]

My audio started working for my pc speaker not my tv speakers

[hoary shale]

Pls tell how to save the settings

[hoary shale]

Chat gpt said i should put auto mute to line out but after doing that I don't get any audio

[hoary shale]

You're a youtuber yooo

[hoary shale]

I just had to change the profile in pavucontrol

Solved
