No Sound on Manjaro i3 fresh installation

I just installed manjaro i3 on my computer, and turnes out there is no sound. I have this alsamixer configuration, where all items are turned off, and I guess that problem is in here, but I do not know how to switch it on.

I’m trying to switch the sound card on the alsamixer interface with F6, but whatever the card is choosen I do not have the sound. I’m testing the sound on the videos in chrome.

Simple mixer control ‘IEC958’,0
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [off] Simple mixer control
‘IEC958’,1
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels:
Mono
Mono: Playback [off] Simple mixer control ‘IEC958’,2
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Mono
Mono:
Playback [off] Simple mixer control ‘IEC958’,3
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [off]
What is strange that typically on my previous manjaro installation I had by default the alsamixer config always right, but not on this one.

my computer config in case it can help

Can you guide me please on how I can fix this problem? Thank you

PulseAudio and Pipewire are both stopped you need one or both of these running.
systemctl --user status pipewire
and
systemctl --user status pulseaudio.

Thank you so much ! I have juste an additional question : how you detected that? Because of items of alsamix output was Off?
Additional details : after I installed pulseaudio and activated with systemctl --user start pulseaudio, I should reboot my computer , so the sound start working :slight_smile:

Yes

yes reboot and check the status again
