No Audio After Suspend?

Support Sound
1

After the last major update, I seem to have lost sound, but only after suspending. I can sometimes get it back, and it comes back after a system reset, but not before.

pulseaudio -k is ineffective, and plasma-pa is already installed. I tried to do sudo alsa force-reload, but it says that the alsa command cannot be found. alsamixer appears to work, but I can’t get it to display the Schiit Modi 3 in a way where I can control its volume:

How can I get back audio after suspending like this? Is there some kind of package conflict?

As per the release announcement, try this:

Try clearing the databases in your home folder of any old settings by executing:

rm ~/.config/pulse/*.tdb ~/.config/pulse/cookie

Reboot afterwards.

System has 2 active sound servers that may be conflicting

  Sound Server-3: PulseAudio v: 15.0 running: yes 
  Sound Server-4: PipeWire v: 0.3.33 running: yes

Pipewire might be trying to take control of audio devices from PulseAudio, but Pipewire cannot work unless all PulseAudio packages are replaced with Pipewire dependencies

You can disable the pipewire systemd socket and service to continue using PulseAudio

systemctl --user mask --now pipewire.socket && systemctl --user stop pipewire.service

Or Install manjaro-pipewire to get the additional dependency files for Pipewire and remove PulseAudio

If the USB DAC has a physical volume control it is unlikely to have another level control in software

EDIT 0: Never mind, I restarted → unmasked again and restarted the service and audio came back. No idea why that happened.

Original post:

I got rid of all the manjaro-pulse dependencies and installed manjaro-pipewire, but now I don’t have any sound on any devices :smiley:

Readout says that alsa and pipewire are running

I also installed plasma-pa (but I think that’s the KDE add on package for audio right?). I DID initially run the mask command, not sure if I unmaked properly though by running: systemctl --user unmask --now pipewire.socket && systemctl --user start pipewire.service.

Upon restart, still no sound and the pipewire service is up and running:

sarah@MidnightStarSign:~$ systemctl --user status pipewire

Not sure where to go from here. Any way that I can restore sound?
