New here - Sound isnt playing

[cscs]

Just wondering … have you tried muting and unmuting or restarting the wireplumber and/or pipewire services ?

I wonder if it is the same as here:

[Howto] Workaround No audio output on boot with pipewire 1.2.0

Beginning with pipewire 1.2.0 some systems experience a lack of any audio output upon reboot. In most cases this can be remedied by muting and unmuting the sound system. In others it may be required to restart pipewire and/or wireplumber services. This is generally considered a minor issue in the cases it does manifest, but there is a reliable workaround in relation to certain display managers. (Tested only on SDDM, though it should be similar for GDM) sudo machinectl shell sddm@ /bin/sh sy…

Which, by the way, should be fixed with pipewire 1.2.5, which is currently in Unstable branch.

Ive seen both, not my case. I can see my speakers (with go accordingly to the sound card) and it detects sound, even if I cannot hear it. Thanks tho!

I have no idea what swap is lol, ill look into it, thanks!!

@Magacu

I have no idea what swap is lol, ill look into it, thanks!!

Possibly more information than you’ll need:

• Swap (Manjaro)
• Swap (Arch)
• Zswap (Arch)
• Zram (Arch)

Enjoy. Cheers.

Yep, just tried and the problem is still here, thank you thought!

Tried what?? Did you try modifying your grub file in the way suggested in one of my links?

The kernel and the audio are mutually exclusive.

ALSA is a kernel API

Install these two packages:
sof-firmware and sof-tools

sof-firmware is included in Manjaro ISOs

no-audio-and-failure-to-shutdown-on-manjaro-xfce

snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1 patch to force use of snd_hda_intel driver was a very useful workaround in 2020/2021, but is no longer needed

Official Manjaro ISOs now include package sof-firmware.
Sound Open Firmware drivers should be installed and working on Live ISOs for most Intel laptops
and inxi data shows system is already using an SOF driver

But sof-tools is a new package

Have you tried looking at some of these suggestions…

1st suggestion is from 4 years ago

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1243369/sound-card-not-detected-ubuntu-20-04-sof-audio-pci
The accepted answer is only a temporary solution, as after implementing it, my microphone no longer worked.

A more permanent solution would be to install the SOF firmware binaries from here: GitHub - thesofproject/sof-bin: Firmware and topology binaries

but inxi data shows system is using an SOF driver

2nd suggestion is to update firmware - MSI - Cyborg-15-A13VF

@cscs

should be fixed with pipewire 1.2.5, which is currently in Unstable branch.

If PipeWire update does not work I suggest install latest stable kernel that may contain a patch for onboard audio

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux610

Did you try modifying your grub file in the way suggested in one of my links?

Better to add modprobe options in /etc/modprobe.d/ than modifying /etc/default/grub

Related to your Alsa screenshot, you have some devices Muted (look at the MM). You can unmute/mute with m key.

You have also additional settings, press the arrow keys to the right side.

Indeed; wonder if it’s the auto-mute setting (Enabled); also it looks like the Headphones are muted. If you’re plugging the speakers in via the headphone jack, this will explain no sound.

I’m not sure if Master and Speaker are actually at 100 but the 1 is not being shown here, just the last two digits?

[nikgnomic]

ALSA mixer control Auto-Mute Mode is set to Enabled, so if headphones were plugged-in the Speaker output would be muted and Headphone output unmuted

If ALSA mixer control Auto-Mute Mode is set to Disabled both Speaker and Headphone outputs can be unmuted
