No sound on new xfce install

sure

Okay, well, unfortunate, but it seems I need to give up: I have absolutely no idea why you don’t have sound; all we checked seems to be saying all is hunky-dory.

Pardon; no idea.

okay, I understand.

wow this is so weird.

Maybe it’s something to do with msi manufacturer not wanting to play nice. IDK I’m grasping at straws.

I’ll just have to reinstall a different OS.

Thanks a bunch for working with me

Not overly fond of defeat, so… grasping at very, very thin straws indeed, but please also see No sound at all MSI Laptop - #11 by YIMINGMA

I.e., try it without the charger? :face_with_thermometer:

You are running Pulseaudio and Pipewire at the same time.

Maybe it helps of you focus on one:

pamac install manjaro-pipewire

I ran the command, but got this message at the end.

Checking inter-conflicts…
Error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
Error: Failed to prepare transaction:
conflicting dependencies:

  • manjaro-pulse and manjaro-pipewire are in conflict

should I uninstall pulse first?

This is a new. They conflict (they are supposed to conflict) but usually when installing one, it should automatically remove the other one.

How is it possible that you have both installed?

You should update your system first before continuing.

Okay I ran sudo pacman -Syu, rebooted , then ran,

pamac install manjaro-pipewire

with all default settings and it finished successfully, but I still have no sound.

Is it now running?

systemctl --user status pipewire
systemctl --user status wireplumber

And did you check this solution: No sound at all MSI Laptop - #11 by YIMINGMA

yes I did check the msi laptop solution last night. Didn’t work for me.

And the pipewire service seems to be running, but not the wireplumber one.
