The same thing happened to me. After installing Godot sound stopped working. I uninstalled it and still sound does not work. Any tool that pays audio hangs and stutters and no sound comes out. I am looking for help to undo this or reinstall the sound.
Welcome to Manjaro Forum @geos
Please post more information about system
inxi -Fazy
and more information about audio devices detected in PulseAudio or PipeWire
pactl list sinks
Probably same issue as the other thread;
-
You had pulseaudio installed before installing godot
-
You chose to install an optional pipewire plugin with godot (which requires pipewire, which conflicts with pulseaudio)
-
Pulseaudio was uninstalled and pipewire was installed
If so, to revert back to pulseaudio try installing the manjaro-pulse meta package. Although you may run into this issue in which case follow the advice in that thread. If sound still isn’t working after that delete pulseaudio configs as described in the last post in that thread.
I have read everything I can find on here about audio not working after installing Godot, and tried every suggestion. I am using Manjaro23 with the 6.4.16-1 kernel. After uninstalling Godot and following the instructions to remove pipewire and reinstall pulseaudio I have an odd situation. When I try to play any audio or video, no sound comes out to my headphones unless I double click the volume control on the ashtray, click the hamburger menu to the right of the "Headphones . . . " radio button, then select anything other than the current setting “Analog Stereo Output” and then switch it back to “Analog Stereo Output” - Then sound starts coming out of the headphones. It only works for that session and if I want to hear anything else I have to go back to the ashtray, go back to the hamburger menu and do it again. When I go to the Audio - System Settings, if I try to test the Headphone audio I get an error message that says 'Error trying to play a test sound. The system said: “Invalid state” ’ If I open the ashtray Audio Settings and do the ritual of switching the output off of “Analog Stereo Output” and back again I can do the speaker test and it works just for that session of testing. Also videos hang until I do the switch and switch back. I searched the web and found a similar post from back in May, but it does not appear it was resolved. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Have you tried deleting pulseaudio configuration files and rebooting, as described in the last post of the thread I linked?
rm ~/.config/pulse/*; reboot
Linux kernel 6.4 is current marked End Of Life and will be dropped soon so you need to switch to another maintained kernel: v6.1 or v6.5
Manjaro Kernels - wiki.manjaro.org
In absence of diagnostic data requested in post #2 that might show what is mis-configured in PulseAudio,
suggestion by @MrLavender to delete old configuration would be my preferred speculative solution to try next
If that does not work for you, PulseAudio might be using a different device as default-sink for audio playback
Use this command to check the default-sink and find the names of other available sinks if default needs to be changed
pacmd dump | grep -v modules
Yes, I tried deleting the config files using the command line described. It did not work.
Here is an additional oddity. If I open an audio file in VLC and then switch the audio as I described above to get it to play, if I set VLC to loop and then turn the volume down, I can use other applications that output audio and they work. For example You Tube videos in the browser. If I stop all apps producing sound then I have to restart audio by switching the headphone output and back again to get it to work.
I switched to kernel 6.1.53-1 and the same thing happens. I installed kernel 6.5.3.-1 and Plasma won’t start I just get a black screen - I can alt F2 or F3 to get a terminal so it is the GUi that is not starting - (that is a problem for a different day, I hope)
I switched form the headphone output on the front of the PC to the lineout on the back and the same thing occurs I can get sound from lineout if I switch off of “Analog Stereo Output” and then back.
Here is the output from pacmd dump | grep -v modules

Moderator edit: In the future, please use proper formatting: [HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text
Consider updating motherboard BIOS
PulseAudio data looks mostly OK. Only one card and one sink in use so default-sink is not an issue
Line Out port for rear jack is shown as available, but Headphone port is not available
Ports:
analog-output-lineout: Line Out (type: Line, priority: 9000, available)
analog-output-headphones: Headphones (type: Headphones, priority: 9900, not available)
Active Port: analog-output-lineout
I suggest check ALSA audio settings
alsamixer --card=1
Locate mixer control for Auto-Mute Mode and ensure it is set to Disabled
so that audio from Line Out rear jack is not muted when Headphones are plugged in to front jack
Set Channel Mode to 2ch if not using surround audio and using stereo output only
Check Audio levels for Master; Headphones; PCM and Front
If any mixer controls are muted [MM] use M to unmute [OO] control
And use this command to save any changes to alsamixer controls
sudo alsactl store 1
ALSA mixer settings should be retained, but if settings are restored when booted in the future use this command
sudo alsactl restore
If pactl list sinks shows both PulseAudio ports as either available or unknown there should be no problem playing audio front and rear jack in ALSA

Thanks. No joy. I followed the steps you posted. BIOS updated, commands followed, rebooted. Didn’t work. Ran sudo alsactl restore. It did not work. Same problem audio only starts working after flipping back and forth to “Analog Stereo Output” Rebooted to Windows 10 to rule out hardware problem, audio works fine - I didn’t think it would be that as it started right after the Godot install.

Any thoughts on what to do next?
Were there any error messages for specific commands that didn’t work?
Did alsactl work to restore audio settings in ALSA even if sound was not audible?
I suggest:
-
Reboot system to ensure audio device is in a non-working state
-
Post more information about ALSA mixer settings
amixer --card=1 info; amixer --card=1
Rebooted to Windows 10 to rule out hardware problem
Check Windows Fast Startup and ensure it is turned off
Fast startup in Windows uses hybrid hibernation instead of fully powering down audio devices
This can affect audio devices when rebooting from Windows to Linux
pactl list sinks is still showing Port for Headphones is not available
Do Audio GUI controls show if Headphones or Speakers are Plugged-In or Unplugged correctly?
(jack detection for either jack socket might be malfunctioning)
Data also shows another sink for HDMI output from nVidia GPU to Pixio PX247 monitor
I suggest turning off HDMI audio device whilst troubleshooting onboard audio device so it cannot take default-sink status
pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_08_00.1 off
Okay, before I started I I turned off Fast Boot/Startup in Windows 10 and then powered down
I tried to plat a file using VLC - no good
I opened alsamixer and noted that the Master (vol) was down to 36 and Headphones were muted. I maxed the Master and set Headphones to 100 and Headphones to 96 -Note: the Headphones are now plugged into the LineOut in the back and the Line volume was/is at 100. I ran
sudo alsactl store 1
again and then ran sudo alsactl restore and then checked alsamixer, all settings matched what I saved. I powered down and then restarted the system
I checked alsamixer and all setting were as expected (saved settings)

In the GUi Volume Control Line Out says (plugged in) and Headphones says (Unplugged) - which is correct the Headphones are plugged into the Line Out (Green) in the back.

I then opened VLC and played a file, no sound. I then opened the ash tray speaker icon and swiched from “Analog Stereo Output” to “Analog Stereo Duplex” and voithe sound started.

One thing I noticed is when I switch from “Analog Stereo Output” to “Analog Stereo Duplex” a little dialog box pops up on the desktop and then disappears. It says
New source "Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo"
alsa_input.pci-0000_oa_00.4.analog-stereo
with a little picture of a pci card. It does not stay up long.
Also if I close VLC I have to do the switch again to get audio to work and get that popup
So that is what I was able to capture. I hope this provides some clues. Thanks. GS
Okay, I got it working. Unfortunatly, I think it will hard to replicate. Consider this something to try as a last ditch effort before giving up and reinstalling the os.
Using the package manager I uninstalled as many pipewire packages as I could until just the ones that Plasma required. That didn’t work so I did the same for removing Pipewire, which completely broke sound. I then added in pulseaudio packages back in, still no joy. I then started adding pipewire packages 1 by 1 and testing. After adding pipewire-alsa and pipewire-pulse, sound started working. So, sound is now working using pipewire. I was trying to roll back to pulseaudio, but I’ll take it. Thanks for the advice on diagnostic tools to use to anayze the problem.
Regards,
GS
Somehow I never finished a post here, but if I understood correctly this occurs because of a single dep required for godot … which then lands the packages in a sort of wonky state if the user was not using pipewire already, correct?
Which was going to be the suggestion - to install the pipewire meta package manjaro-pipewire.
And it sounds as if in a around about way thats what you ended up doing.
(except you may be missing gst-plugin-pipewire that it would also provide)
Yep! Thanks for your help.
godot has 2 optional dependencies
Name : godot
Version : 4.1.1-1
Description : Advanced cross-platform 2D and 3D game engine
Optional Dependencies : pipewire-alsa: for audio support
pipewire-pulse: for audio support
If a user does not install optional dependencies PulseAudio would continue to work
If a user chose both optional dependencies to replace PulseAudio, PipeWire might work
But it would be better to install manjaro-pipewire before installing godot
But if a user selected pipewire-alsa only and PulseAudio was not replaced by pipewire-pulse,
sound would stop working
Information posted in other topic showed only one dependency installed
For that situation, either install PipeWire correctly
or reinstall pulseaudio-alsa to set PulseAudio as default ALSA output
