most likely similar issue as this: [SOLVED] Sunrise Point-LP HD audio quit working after update / Multimedia and Games / Arch Linux Forums

Also probably this.
https://forum.manjaro.org/search?q=audio%20pulseaudio%20pipewire

Thanks everyone.

:wink:

As far as I’m aware, both services running was never the cause of the issue.

See for example this thread, especially the post of @LordTermor.

I’m on KDE, I’m using PulseAudio, both services are running: I do not have any sound problems.

I suggest stop PulseAudio and PipeWire services and check if ALSA is working as expected before troubleshooting software sound servers

systemctl --user stop pipewire.socket pipewire.service pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service

Use a music player with local content (or speaker-test ) to play audio direct to hardware device in ALSA (analog audio to speakers/headphones is likely to be: hw:0,0)
HW probe of Toshiba TECRA Z40-C #9612659f60: aplay

Reboot system to restart sound servers after testing

If ALSA audio is not working as expected, please post more information about ALSA devices and drivers

sudo alsa-info.sh --upload

@neovision
The discussion from December 2021 has an accepted solution in post #2 that is not consistent with moderator comment in post #11

PipeWire documentation is also not consistent with unsubstantiated allegations from last year

Troubleshooting PulseAudio/PipeWire is a waste of time if audio from software sound servers cannot play through ALSA to hardware

how do i re-enable both of them after running the above command?

Reboot system to restart sound servers after testing

or

systemctl --user start pipewire.socket pulseaudio.socket

hey one thing
my laptop speakers don’t work
i have tried a lot
mine is the intel comet lake one and i have searched in the forum and found nobody got a solution for these
but my bluetooth works just fine
so is there any problem with the current support for this audio device and will this problem be solved in the coming time automatically?
