I know it sounds simple, but many headphones won’t play sound when using their integrated microphones. If your headphone set has a microphone and it is activated, try to turn it off.

If that solution doesn’t work, could you please run the following command and post the output?

Thanks,

P.S, Welcome to the manjaro support community!

Thank you for replying.

I am using Realme Buds Q , I don’t think it has integrated microphones.

I tried connecting headphones from Bootable Manjaro in my USB Drive. And the headphones are working perfectly in it.

So, it seems that your PipeWire installation is broken. Follow these commands to uninstall and reinstall it:

sudo pacman -R manjaro-pipewire

sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire

Then restart your computer
