Hello,
i just installed Manjaro i3 and I have no sound.
I have a Soundblaster Z sound card, but I don’t have sound, which is not a problem tbh, because I can use my integrated soundcard, but this Soundcard does not have sound either.
What do I do.
I have found this patch for the Kernel for soundblaster Z but i would rather use the integrated sound from my CPU:
patch for the Kernel for soundblaster Z
System is up to date;
[man@tower ~]$ inxi -Ax

Not sure how you installed i3, but seems you forgot to start pulseaudio
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PulseAudio#Running
I used the i3-community edition. They also have a script, that is supposed to install pulse and make it run…
It worked on my other two machines. It doesnt seem to work on this machine.
I think I messed up since it is dualboot…
How can you explain this?
#systemctl enable pulseaudio.socket
Failed to enable unit: Unit file pulseaudio.socket does not exist.
#systemctl enable pulseaudio.service
Failed to enable unit: Unit file pulseaudio.service does not exist.
I suggest you check if package pulseaudio-alsa
is installed to configure PulseAudio as the default sound server in ALSA. The package is only an optional dependency and can be overlooked when i3 users are installing PulseAudio
If the package is installed and PulseAudio is not shown as running:yes
after rebooting system,
please post more information about the PulseAudio systemd units that should start PulseAudio automatically
systemctl status --user -full --no-pager pulseaudio.{socket,service}
Hi,
I do have the same issue and getting this output:

Try installing manjaro-pipewire
. It’ll replace all of your pulseaudio
stuff with pipewire
. See if that fixes anything.
I tried it, but there is still no sound.
But it can see the sound level moving, also for the mic. But actually no sound.
I deleted that version of my manjaro, so I guess we will never find out…
I will try again in a week.
So I found the Solution:
While I would have to patch the Kernel for Soundblaster Z, I used the wrong Jacks for my Headphones. The integrated Soundcrad was working fine all along.
