Audio output vanished

Suddenly I don’t see my audio output device in pavucontrol and there is no audio output from my laptop.
I dual boot Manjaro and Windows - audio works perfectly on Windows.
I am able to connect my Bluetooth headphones and get audio output in my headphones perfectly as before. But the default audio output of my laptop seems to have somehow gone undetected.
I did reboot my laptop, but that did not fix it.

This is the Arch wiki page about my laptop - MSI GS65 - ArchWiki just in case that helps.

Hi,

please post the output of:

pactl list sources

and

pactl list sink-inputs

and

pactl list | grep -C2 A2DP

Maybe this a solution? Bluetooth headset - ArchWiki

The following logs are with my bluetooth headset connected, but like in the top post, no laptop audio output detected.

Bluetooth audio works fine. What doesn’t work is audio without a Bluetooth headset.

You need to play sound on firefox or whatever to displayed output there.

To set the card manually, you can do this:

That lists all cards

pacmd list-cards

Now the active profiles

pacmd list-cards | grep 'active profile'

then set one of them as default like this:

pactl set-card-profile output:analog-stereo

Then play sound and type this:

No output sinks :frowning:

set this one instead:

output:hdmi-stereo or output:hdmi-stereo+input

Try all the profiles since i don’t know what works.

This is not the audio output I want.

That is the whole problem - the laptop audio output is suddenly not being detected by Manjaro.

ok… then it is not a pulseaudio problem, but more an alsa or driver problem.

Could you run this

alsa-info.sh

and post the link here?

And also

aplay -l

and

aplay -L

thanks
