Good day,
I have removed the duplicate file. Rebooted. Same issue is there. I was wanting to remove my secondary sound card when this issue creeped up. I did complete a compare of the sound card and that was posted above. Since I use this as my daily machine, I am not interested in reinstall to troubleshoot what is changing this. I have checked a few of the Diff Kernels to make sure it did not reside in them. It would appear that this is only effecting those of us on the Gigabyte board. I will wait and see if it irons out and if not, oh well. The OP has not posted anything either. I am guessing they have either moved on from Manjaro or said oh well as well.
Mine is not working as well. In Fact, I used to see my headphones (steel series 800) I dont see them for audio output. The Mic is still working for the headset. I have a Sound Blaster XIfi that is working correctly as well. This is the only reason I have any sound.
Cinnamon is my Favorite Desktop. I do everything possible to not use anything Ubuntu. This is why I dont use Linux Mint or POPOS. Hoping this resolves itself soon. My other two PC’s dont have this sound issue with Manjaro.
On Manjaro KDE (testing repo) with Creative Audigy1, I can choose analog stereo output or analog stereo input profile, but I do not have “analog stereo duplex” profile, so I can not use my microphone.
Clearing pulse config file had no effect. It is the same with both 5.7 and 5.8 kernels.
You could install the latest development version of Pulseaudio v13.99 pulseaudio-git from AUR
but some packages have to be removed to be able to change to the AUR version:
HP Envy - Sound does not work in Manjaro 20.1 PLASMA
I had first to remove libao, fluidsynth, lib32-fluidsynth and manjaro-pulse - after that I could install pulseaudio-git - having installed pulseaudio-git I added libao, fluidsynth, lib32-fluidsynth and manjaro-pulse
Since today’s Pulseaudio update in testing, my Audigy card got back the analog stereo duplex profile and some others too. Btw, I only get garbled audio from it’s mic input, but that’s a start.
Switching to testing branch is a lot easier than pulseaudio-git
You should start a new topic about your Audigy1. Creative cards can be very different to other audio devices and it can be tricky to get everything working right alsamixer has lots more controls than other audio devices
(I still have an Audigy2, but that system needs a new power supply atm)
It’s interesting, because I used that card for many years under various Linux distros, without any problem. In these days, it is just sits in my backup PC.
My problem with the microphone can be hw related because of the mic amp circuit I designed may not work with the voltage is provided by the Audigy. Saddly, mic inputs does not the same in different sound cards…
I ran into the same issue, I just removed ~/.config/pavucontrol.ini and then restarted (logout login should be enough) and I were able to select the duplex mode back on each cards.
