I am having trouble with the audio on a lenovo e14 with i7-10510u. I can’t reproduce any media, opening youtube videos gives me: “Audio renderer error. Please restart your computer.” after a couple seconds. I was facing problem with an USB-C dock from lenovo and got it fixed through a kernel patch, unrelated to audio, I even tried booting an older, LTS kernel (5.4.58-1) to see whether it improved things, but no success. I tested on Ubuntu through live usb with 5.4 kernel and it works normally, but I would really like to keep Manjaro.
If I click the volume button a few times I can only hear the first ones, so it is the same behavior as youtube: audio stops working after a couple seconds, shortly after this, the popup for audio device is shown at the center of screen
I managed to install pulseaudio-git through the terminal, but upon booting with it I had no sound devices available. Then I tried reverting to pulseaudio13 and following up with the configuration from the link, but it failed just as before, after a couple seconds there is an audio device pop-up and the audio stops.
What puzzles me is that audio works normally in Ubuntu.
I will try that later, but meanwhile, I figured the alsa info from ubuntu, where audio works, would also be useful. It is available at: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=dfbe2f57948ce0cdcc70fd94f50285e4a75635f6
The differences from usb_audio are because I had the dock connected in Manjaro and disconnected in Ubuntu, as I haven’t patched Ubuntu’s kernel for a dock bug, but the issue occurs in Manjaro even with the dock disconnected in an unpatched kernel.
Oh, and I also checked the pulseaudio version for ubuntu:
I was thinking, maybe I should open a bug report on Manjaro itself, as the issue seems to be isolated to this distro. Anyone could give me the directions to it?
