No sound after update to 26.0.0 manjaro xfce

My sound disappaered. It seems to me, that the sound is looking for a X11-System, but I got Wayland.
It is said: Verbindung zu PulseAudio fehleschlegen (Connection to pulseaudio failed)

Possible. I also have the feeling you are using an old mixer app that might be deprecated, but let us see the inxi first.


Welcome to the Manjaro community

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit.

To that end, links are provided (below) - Please use them.


Be prepared to provide outputs from various commands when asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.

Waiting for someone to blindly ask questions is also counter-productive – typically, nobody has a :crystal_ball: at their disposal – Instead, please help others to ask informed questions, based on information you provide.


Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly; :eyes:

Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form (preferred):

inxi -zv8

start-pulseaudio-x11(1) β€” Arch manual pages

This script starts pulseaudio (if not already running) and loads modules to publish access credentials to the PulseAudio server in the X11 root window and to synthesize X11 media key events on cork/uncork requests. Additionally it registers PulseAudio to the X11 Session Manager.

Manjaro now uses systemd units pulseaudio.socket and pulseaudio.service

Try this to disable the script from trying to start pulseaudio daemon:

tee ~/.config/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop <<< '[Desktop Entry]
Hidden=true'

and this to restart pulseaudio daemon:

systemctl --user restart pulseaudio
