pure sentinel
hi there. I'm new to linux mint, and am having some trouble with my audio. no matter what i try, i cannot get audio from my rear headphone jack (which is the only one that currently works at all). I have tried pipewire, but that didn't do anything for me, although i might've installed it wrong. unsure.
any help is appreciated, thank you.
lmk what info you need.
pulse is definitely dead.

pulse is definitely dead.
oh pulseaudio is disabled
pure sentinel

hard pewter
bruh

as suggested in #1174216220103417956
this is after following the steps there, should've clarified
ratmilk@ratmilk-G228:~$ sudo service pulseaudio restart
[sudo] password for ratmilk:
Failed to restart pulseaudio.service: Unit pulseaudio.service not found.
ratmilk@ratmilk-G228:~$
that is literally it
im thinking about just deleting both pipewire and pulseaudio and then reinstalling
hard pewter
how about sudo systemctl unmask pulseaudio
and sudo systemctl enable pulseaudio

does the audio not work when you fresh installed it
pure sentinel
no
hard pewter
oh i see
pure sentinel
that was the issue, and this was how i tried to fix it
hard pewter
then reinstalling might just solve all of it
wait
do you mean the audio doesn't work even if you reinstall it
hard pewter
I see, then reinstalling might not fix it
you might wanna look more info about your computer's sound card
the name and the brand too
pure sentinel
i can give ya the exact name here in a sec
hard pewter
also did you try updating your packages in linux mint
pure sentinel
i can try that.
hard pewter
it might provide driver updates for your sound card
hard pewter
oh so it IS a realtek
pure sentinel
fyi this is a prebuilt pc that ive upgraded the shit out of over the last year, so there some stuff in there thats completely just beyond my non-tech savvy brain
if that means anything
pure sentinel
thank you, ive been struggling with this for about 2 hours now lol
hard pewter
in the meantime try reinstalling pulseaudio
sudo apt-get --reinstall install alsa-base pulseaudio
pure sentinel
okay, ive just done it thru the software manager. one sec.
hard pewter
if that doesn't work try editing the alsa base configuration file by doing this:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
then add this at the very end of the file's line:
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
pure sentinel
yeah, it doesnt even work when i hit sound settings from the taskbar anymore
hard pewter
yeah, it doesnt even work when i hit sound settings from the taskbar anymore
can i see a screenshot
i never had this problem before so this is new for me as well lol
pure sentinel
i wonder if installing alsamixer would help
i have alsamixer. genuinely considering reinstalling my whole linux mint since i haven't installed anything yet
besides like, discord.
hard pewter
it looks like you dont have cinnamon-settings package installed
pure sentinel
so how could i install that? just sudo apt-reinstall
hard pewter
if its not even installed then you can just do sudo apt install cinnamon-settings
or you could reinstall the whole cinnamon desktop environment with sudo apt reinstall mint-meta-cinnamon
pure sentinel
thats genuinely what im considering doing
says that isnt even installed
just using install did work tho.
hard pewter
try the solutions above first though if its still not working then someone else may help you because im genuinely out of options lol
pure sentinel
thats okay, thank you for helping. i might straight up just reinstall from scratch.
hard pewter
condolences if i coudn't help
pure sentinel
yeah im gonna see what i can do, see if i can reinstall linux mint
