You should consider updating BIOS for this motherboard
Asus website is showing 13 BIOS updates released since the version shown on your system
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/All-series/TUF-B450M-PLUS-GAMING/HelpDesk_BIOS/
OK just trying to figure out how to update. The files that I downloaded from that page extracts as an exe and cap files. I installed fwupd but I can’t run it from the command line with fwupd and I don’t see a GUI program for it.
I can’t see TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING on that asrock site.
You posted system information on another discussion, that is showing both PulseAudio and Pipewire are active
You can choose either:
- Disable the pipewire systemd socket and service to continue using PulseAudio
systemctl --user mask --now pipewire.socket && systemctl --user stop pipewire.service
(KDE requires pipewire base package so uninstalling it is not possible for this DE)
OR
- Install
manjaro-pipewiremetapackage to get the additional dependency files for Pipewire to replace PulseAudio
Thanks, however, pipewire is not running now:
Sound Server-3: PulseAudio v: 14.2 running: yes
Sound Server-4: PipeWire v: 0.3.24 running: no
