Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait

I installed Manjaro XFCE 22.1.0 in my Desktop PC, but audio does not work in my PC. Please help me to find out solution to it.

When I open volume control, it blinks so fast that I cannot have access to any tab such as configuration, playback, etc. I just see “Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait.”

I ran many commands, but none of them worked.

Sound works fine in Windows 10.

Can you post the output of inxi -A

In addition to the above (inxi -A).:

  1. check the journalctl -b and ~/.xsession-errors
  2. execute pavucontrol from a shell. I’m assuming it will fail but there will be error messages written to your terminal. These would also be in one of the sources in #1.

The output of inxi -A is as follows :-

Audio:
Device-1: Intel NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
API: ALSA v: k6.1.23-1-MANJARO status: kernel-api
Server-1: PulseAudio v: 16.1 status: active

better is inxi -Aa

Is it possible to turn off PulseAudio and turn on PipeWire so that problem may be resolved?

Message “Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait.” in PulseAudio Volume control shows the mixer GUI is unable to contact PulseAudio

Please post more information about PulseAudio

systemctl --user -l --no-pager status pulseaudio.{socket,service}

and this to show if audio devices are detected in ALSA correctly

sudo alsa-info.sh --with-dmesg --with-aplay --with-amixer | curl -F 'clbin=<-' https://clbin.com

Is it possible to turn off PulseAudio and turn on PipeWire so that problem may be resolved?

Replacing PulseAudio with PipeWire might resolve audio issue if it is within PulseAudio, but PipeWire cannot resolve any issue with ALSA audio devices or audio GUI controls

IMO opinion it would be better to turn off PulseAudio (assuming it is shown as active from previous data):

systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.{socket,service}

and determine if audio playback direct to ALSA is working.
I suggest using Audacious with audio settings configured to use ALSA plugin playing direct to card 0

ALSA data shows onboard audio device Realtek ALC887-VD detected correctly
But ALSA mixer data shows analog outputs for Headphone and Front speaker are muted
and Auto-Mute Mode is enabled to mute speaker output when headphones are plugged in

!!-------Mixer controls for card Intel

Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 64
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-64.00dB] [off]
  Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-64.00dB] [off]

Simple mixer control 'Front',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 64
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 64 [100%] [0.00dB] [off]
  Front Right: Playback 64 [100%] [0.00dB] [off]

Simple mixer control 'Auto-Mute Mode',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: 'Disabled' 'Enabled'
  Item0: 'Enabled'

I suggest disable Auto-Mute and unmute both Front speaker and Headphone outputs

amixer --card=0 sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' Disabled
amixer --card=0 sset 'Headphone' 64 unmute
amixer --card=0 sset 'Front' 64 unmute

That should at least get audio working in ALSA

If PulseAudio is still not working as expected, I suggest delete user configuration:

rm ~/.config/pulse/*

reboot system
and check status of pulseaudio.socket and pulseaudio.service again

amixer --card=0 sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' Disabled
Simple mixer control 'Auto-Mute Mode',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: 'Disabled' 'Enabled'
  Item0: 'Disabled'
amixer --card=0 sset 'Headphone' 64 unmute
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 64
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 64 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
  Front Right: Playback 64 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
amixer --card=0 sset 'Front' 64 unmute
Simple mixer control 'Front',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 64
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 64 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
  Front Right: Playback 64 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]

I also deleted the file by executing the command rm ~/.config/pulse/*, but problem still persists.

No. My problem is not resolved.

ALSA mixer data shows controls for Master Headphone and Front speaker are muted

and IEC958 Default PCM is enabled to use digital output as default

Simple mixer control ‘IEC958 Default PCM’,0

  Mono: Playback [on]

I suggest

  • Open ALSA controls in alsamixer

    sudo alsamixer -c Intel -V playback
    
  • Use M to unmute Master, Headphone and Front outputs
    to increase audio levels reset to 0%
    and turn off IEC958 Default PCM

  • Open another terrminal and save ALSA settings

    sudo alsactl store 
    
  • check if audio playback is working via PulseAudio or direct to ALSA outputs

  • reboot system and check if ALSA audio settings are still correct

    amixer -c Intel
    
  • If audio settings are not as expected use this command to restore them

    sudo alsactl restore
