Hi Manjaro Crew,
I’m having some issues with my i3WM sound. It might be all non connected issues or just different issues, I don’t know.
I’m trying to describe my issues the best I can: When I start my PC, Pulseaudio does not seem to be connected to alsa player. Sound is coming already through my internal speakers.
After I manually execute following commands I can re-establish the connection.
$ pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio &
As you can see In the picture here above, the pavucontrol GUI starts working again as it should but it does not stop here. When a 3.5mm jack headphone is inserted, the PC recognizes this and stops the speaker output. The pavucontrol GUI also recognizes this and indicates the output has been changed to a headphone set, but … no sound, Nor in or out
En plus, the little Alsa desktop indicator does not switch to the right output source when this has been changed. This indicator controls (or has a part in controlling ) the volume control via the keyboard, for example.
( I also must mention my Teams sessions have crackling sounds in them, but this could be another issue. )
Clearly there is something off here. I was hoping someone here on the forum could help me out.
