How can I reinstall PulseAudio correctly?

Support Sound
1

I have recently tried to install pipewire but it didn’t work as expected, I found that I lost multiple things some of the audio channels weren’t rednering as expected, I was not hearing all of the sounds in a video.

In addition there was a delay in my bluetooth headset which was pretty annoying, so I decided to go back to pulseaudio, but I have been issues reinstalling pulseaudio, things are not back the way they were, I tried to install them from the arch wik, and manjaro wiki, I installed the manjaro-pulseaudio package in addition to the rest pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth but I something feels broken, I need to validate that everything is installed properly in regards of audio.

2

sudo pacman -R manjaro-pipewire

sudo pacman -S manjaro-pulse

reboot

3

If I recall correctly, issuing the command;

should prompt to replace manjaro-pipewire; and vice versa.

So, I don’t have the manjaro-pipewire package installed, how can I confirm that PulseAudio is running correctly with no issues and no interventions?

error: target not found: manjaro-pipewire

Metapackage manjaro-pulse should install pulseaudio; pulseaudio-alsa and pulseaudio-bluetooth
but user can also install optional dependencies including pulseaudio-jack

inxi data is incomplete, but confirms that pulseaudio, pulseaudio-alsa and pulseaudio-jack is installed

pactl data shows bluetooth headset is detected so pulseaudio-bluetooth must also be installed

If onboard audio is not working as expected reset PulseAudio to default configuration

Delete configuration files in user home folder

rm ~/.config/pulse/*

and reboot system to restart PulseAudio with default settings

If Bluetooth headset is not working as expected, try removing boot parameter btusb.enable_autosuspend=n

:information_source: Disclaimer: Meta packages like manjaro-pipewire and manjaro-pulse are only provided for convenience and should not be relied upon.

You are the master of your own system. Manage it as you see fit.

10

If manjaro-pulse does not work as expected, PulseAudio can be installed to replace PipeWire packages

pamac install pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa

select optional dependency pulseaudio-bluetooth if Bluetooth audio support is needed
and pulseaudio-jack to bridge audio to JACK

11

All listed packages are installed, removed the bluetooth boot parameter.

Issue with the bluetooth still exists, sound so far I guess is good.

12

I would like some resources that would help in this matter “To be the master of my own (audio) system”, I have already gone through the arch wiki as well as the manjaro wiki in regards of this matter without much help.

GitHub - Oppzippy/OpenSCQ30: Cross platform application for controlling settings of Soundcore headphones. Supports desktop (CLI and GUI) and Android.

OpenSCQ30 is free software for controlling settings for Soundcore headphones and earbuds. It was originally intended for the Q30’s, after which the project was named, but a range of devices are now supported.

I installed the package, and it’s similar to the mobile app in terms of configuration, supporting the equalizer as well. I am not sure how the app is related to PulseAudio. Can you please explain?

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

15

The previous post from @nikgnomic seems to indicate what it is - a GUI for your specific headphone brand - perhaps given in hopes of it being useful.

16

As far as I can tell openscq30 allows access to internal settings of headset and does not depend on a Linux audio server or bluez Bluetooth protocol

openscq30-cli depends on dbus and rust
openscq30-gui would also require install of gtk4 and libadwaita on KDE

aur.archlinux.org - PKGBUILD=openscq30

pkgbase=openscq30
pkgname=("$pkgbase"-{cli,gui}) 
pkgver=1.19.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Cross platform application for controlling settings of Soundcore headphones"

_deps_common=('libdbus-1.so')
_deps_gui=('libgtk-4.so' 'libadwaita-1.so')

makedepends=('cargo')
depends=("${_deps_common[@]}" "${_deps_gui[@]}")

GUI tool should work on any Linux audio stack that supports Bluetooth audio – pulseaudio-bluetooth, pipewire-pulse or bluealsa

Also available as a Flatpak – flathub.org - OpenSCQ30

17

So, as far as I can tell the issue with the headset not connecting except when running these commands is still there

sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo modprobe btusb
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

I don’t seem to notice any issues with PulseAudio so far, how can I confirm?

I’m not sure but pulseaudio.service gave multiple errors, I can see that one of it is related to bluez the bluetooth module, should I post the bluetooth module status as well?

There is still this issue when I unplug the laptop from the battery the voice in my headset gets muffled, and then it disconnects and reconnects from bluetooth, then when I unpair and re-pair, it seems to work.
Also, I am not sure if it’s related or not, but I thought I might share that here, is that when I unplug my laptop as well it like lags in Kitty, as if there is a delay.
