I don't have sound in manjaro i3

,

Hello,

I don’t have any sound on my i3 version of manjaro. On one post I see that someone ask to run a command for the same problem so here it is :

Hello,

Try this

Hello @bogdancovaciu ! and thank you for your answer.
I don’t really understand what you want me to do ? update the kernel ? I’m not skilled enough to do that. Also I can’t use the last version of manjaro i3 because of this : Can't boot on manjaro 21.2.1 i3 minimal whereas I can boot on manjaro 21.2.1 xfce minimal edition - #23 by S1lentKn1ght

Hi @S1lentKn1ght!
Did you try to change the audio output in pavucontrol?
I had the same problem, on my computer, the wrong output was selected.
