No sound after new installation

Hey there,
I tried fixing this problem many times before and never succeeded. When running Manjaro only on the Installation medium the sound worked fine. After I installed it, it stopped working. After I tried this: Manjaro Forum Entry it worked for a while. Until I connected an HDMI display or something I guess. I really love working with Linux, especially with Manjaro and i3, but this is a really big deal breaker. I hope anyone knows how to fix it.

I guess there should be everything you need:

Heya,

I’ve always found sound on Linux troublesome to get right. Lately I’ve switched to pipewire and that smoothed out my experience with Bluetooth headsets. It might work for you. To install :
pamac install manjaro-pipewire

Also after a new install, don’t forget the swap :slight_smile:
