Hi,

I am having trouble with audio since update of Aug 27. I have deleted my pulseaudio config tpl files as indicated in known issues thread and rebooted, but upon reboot my integrated speaker is detected as headphones. microphone also doesn’t work in chromium anymore.

Sound works flawlessly on 5.12 and i believe on previous 5.13 version, too Hi, I am having trouble with audio since the update. I have deleted my pulseaudio config tpl files and rebooted, but upon reboot my integrated speaker is detected as headphones.

Sound works flawlessly on 5.12 and 5.13 before 5.13.12-1

KDE is my desktop

System data shows no PulseAudio, only Pipewire. Deleting PulseAudio files will not help with Pipewire

I suggest you start a new topic in the sound category and add the Pipewire tag
And post a through description of the audio issues
with system data inxi -Fazy and any Pipewire diagnostic data

5 posts were split to a new topic: Sometimes some icons disappear, apps become unresponsive

Hey! Just wanted to chime in that I was able to work around the missing keys issue by simply issuing
sudo pacman -Syvv manjaro-keyring and didn’t have to rm anything.

And, as noted in the other thread, fixing Steam is easy by opening it, going to settings->account->beta participation, and clicking “steam beta update”.

Have to disconnect audio plug and reconnect after boot each and every time for sound to work.

After the upgrade I was not longer able to use the compositor in KDE plasma. The desktop was very laggy and the system load was very high. This only happens when the external display is attached.

The issue is due to xorg-server which I confirmed by manually downgrading the package to 1.20.13-2 from 1.20.13-3 (for xorg-server and xorg-server-common). With the version 1.20.13-2 everythings works as expected.

agree man. ALL issues here reported regarding laggy graphics is all due to this whole “modesetting war”. Some l33t is arguing against intel driver - and therefore more or less forced modesetting by default. Just because some synthetic benchmarks outperform intel driver and/or someone does not like the code-base of intel driver.

See [patch] add some Debian patches (e3966f2b) · Commits · Packages / Extra / Xorg Packages v1.20 / xorg-server · GitLab

Isn’t this already the default in Fedora, Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu and others? Would be curious to see if these same issues appear on those distros.

not to get off topic here but there are legitimate reasons to use modesetting rather than intel other than benchmarks - for me on an intel i5 laptop with i915 UHD graphics, i had a real nightmare with tearing during screensharing (a crucial part of my job) using the intel driver and that was fixed by switching to modesetting with no negative impact until now

Hello,

I did both this and the previous update at once, and now I seem to have issues with colors in some applications. The rofi launcher, which was alright, now has a light grey/white color scheme that is very hard to read, and in thunderbird the default system colors that I normally use for mails and the menus are now black on white instead of the previous dark theme.

Any idea how to fix this?

System info:

  • I think I was using the Adapta-maia-dark theme, and it now seems to be Adapta-nokto-eta-maia.
  • Using Awesome WM

Pictures of what’s wrong:

Similar issue.
With Rofi update, white text in themes before is now black !

Hey, i’m a little bit clueless: no soundcards detectet anymore with kernel 5.14 in GNOME and KDE (in 5.13 and < it works like charm). Tried to deleting rm ~/.config/pulse/*.tdb ~/.config/pulse/cookie, was on testing and tried a lot of other possibilities, but no, nothing working; now i’m reinstalled system (with Gnome) new - same here. No soundcards detected, only shows dummy (now). Over amixer i get: asound
version-alsa k5.14.0.0-manjaro
cards also recognized (H-DSP / HDA Intel / HDA NVidia)
devices, timers, pcm still present.
I tried to get some inxi data but unfortunately there comes no output at all…
Then, also when i shutdown it takes miles of time and brings me systemd-shutdown sigkill to pid / shutdown waiting of processes pulseaudio messages… that’s all wrong :wink:
If someone has a good advice it would be much appreciated :slight_smile:

I forgot: tried also with only pipewire / pulseaudio.

With 5.13 on KDE i get with inxi:

inxi --full --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host

the opposite here. I had massive scroll-tearing with modesetting driver. No issues with intel. So it depends.

@areographe have you tried using Triple Buffering? I find that it eliminates screen tearing with Intel GPUs, combined with vertical sync and/or additional options that may be unique in each desktop environment.

Enable vsync, and then see if adding this file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ helps with tearing. (You will either need to reboot or restart the display server for it to take effect.)


My contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-intel.conf

  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
  Driver "intel"
  Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
  Option "TearFree" "true"

All of my problems seem to be linked to a kernel change. All is good now on latest kernel. 5.14 I think? Whatever was being used, (5.13 I am guessing from memory,) left me with a black screen and a mouse cursor after login.

not work for me Steam is allready black with steam-runtime or steam-native beta and stable
