Pulseaudio service disabled

My system is a new installation on an HP notebook.
Some key information about my system:

CPU: 10-core (2-mt/8-st) 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1355U (-MST AMCP-)
speed/min/max: 812/400/5000:3700 MHz Kernel: 6.6.0-1-rt13-MANJARO x86_64
Up: 1h 10m Mem: 1.04/15.34 GiB (6.8%) Storage: 476.94 GiB (2.3% used)
Procs: 325 Shell: Bash inxi: 3.3.31

Audio:
Device-1: Intel Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl
API: ALSA v: k6.6.0-1-rt13-MANJARO status: kernel-api
Server-1: PulseAudio v: 16.1 status: active

I have already fixed three errors:

  1. generated the missing file default.pa.d in etc/pulse/
  2. set autospawn = yes in file client.conf in /etc/pulse/client
  3. for bluetooth I set Experimental = true

But one hurdle (error) cannot solved or yet?

I would be happy about support. pulseaudio service is not clean started or something else.

You could try pipewire and wireplumber

Welcome to Manjaro forum @HellSing

Warning about missing etc/pulse/default.pa.d/ is not an error

Autospawning is usually disabled by default in Manjaro so it does not interfere with pulseaudio.socket and pulseaudio.service.
If you want to run PulseAudio the old-school way (as a standalone daemon with autospawning)
systemd units pulseaudio.service and pulseaudio.socket should be disabled and masked

Status response from systemd units appears exactly as expected
pulseaudio.service is shown as ‘disabled’ because it is under control of pulseaudio.socket
and is shown as active (running) with no error messages

aplay -l; arecord -l
aplay: device_list:277: keine Soundkarten gefunden …
arecord: device_list:277: keine Soundkarten gefunden …

And now?

O.K. fine I learned a lot from your anwser.

Then what is the cause i have no sound?

aplay -l; arecord -l
aplay: device_list:277: keine Soundkarten gefunden …
arecord: device_list:277: keine Soundkarten gefunden …

How do I get hardware detection?

Some warnings:

What is the next step?

Thank you for the quick and very instructive support.

These are warning messages not errors and can be ignored

Possibly missing firmware for module XXXX - mkinitcpio - ArchWiki

When initramfs are being rebuilt after a kernel update, you might get warnings:

==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: ‘module_name

If these messages appear when generating a default initramfs image, then, as the warning says, installing additional firmware may be required. Most common firmware files can be acquired by installing the linux-firmware package. For other packages providing firmware see the table below or try searching for the module name in the official repositories or AUR.

Otherwise, if the messages only appear when generating the fallback initramfs image you have the following options:

  • You can safely ignore the warnings, if you know that you do not use the affected hardware.
  • If you want to suppress the warnings, you can install the missing firmware. The meta-package mkinitcpio-firmwareAUR contains most optional firmwares. Alternatively, manually install the needed packages
  • If you want to get rid of the warnings, but do not want to waste your system space on unneeded firmware packages, you can disable fallback initramfs generation altogether:

Warning: Disabling fallback initramfs generation will deprive you of another option to boot into the system in case a default initramfs fails. Before proceeding, make sure you have a bootable installation medium for rescue purposes on hand.
