Audio not working after system upgrade

Support Sound
1

Hey guys, my audio stopped working after system upgrade today, I don’t know which information I could give to solve this problem.

I tried to search for this problem here in the forum and used some commands there I found, the command systemctl --user restart pulseaudio gives me no message, so I think the command is working, but there’s no sound. I also tried systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service also, no message. I’ve been using pulse-effects-legacy from AUR since today, tried to reinstall but the problem persist. When I boot my computer me sound works for about 10 seconds and stop working and I can’t make it work again, I tried to change the device output or increase/decrease volume, tried also restart pulseaudio after kill pulseeffects in system monitor. Here are some informations of my computer spec

Gnome 4.2 no longer works for Audio if you are not using Pipewire as i found out after the Update, you need to install “manjaro-pipewire” and i must thank @brahma for this info:

this looks like it could possibly be a pulse/pipewire issue, so install pipewire with manjaro-pipewire package… if you get dependencies issues, uninstall them first, then install pipewire, reboot and check

I also installed the Pipewire Lib32 files as well.

All i did was open terminal and typed “sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire” (without quotes) which after a few seconds gave me some dependencies issues with pulseaudio-jack and 2 other pulseaudio-*** then failed to install.
I then used Pamac GUI to remove those dependencies issues (pulseaudio-jack + other 2) then re-run the terminal command “sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire”, once it was done i then went back to Pamac GUI and install the lib32-pipewire stuff, once that was done i rebooted, and after reboot i had working audio again.

I DID NOT install “EasyEffects” or “pulseeffects” (as far as i know this is now EasyEffects for Pipewire)

pulseaudio stack seems to break dependency on gnome-settings-daemon gnome-control-center etc. Safe to remove all ??

I don’t know. I just uninstalled pulseaudio as said in the links, used pipewire for some hours, have the same problem with pipewire so I removed pipewire and tried to install pulseaudio again, now it’s working fine. Maybe the solution is to uninstall all pulseaudio and install again, this solved my problem, maybe it solves yours too.

Don’t remove all of pulseaudio, run this from terminal first:

sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire

And see what dependencies it fails to remove, then just remove/uninstall those, then run sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire again and it will remove and install as needed.
