Sound not working in pipewire

Hi,

The sound doesn't work for my laptop (Thinkpad x1 carbon. internal speakers and microphone doesn't work either)  and Pipewire doesn't list any working configuration profiles other than the one from my monitor through HDMI.

Can someone help me? I am missing something here I know. Just can't find out what it is. Appreciate any help.

I have the below packages installed as I was trying to configure pipewire:

  • pipewire

  • pipewire-alsa

  • pipewire-pulse

  • pipewire-jack

  • lib32-pipewire

  • ib32-pipewire-jack

  • pipewire-media-session

Checking for the status of below services gives the below output with hostName being my computer hostname.

$ systemctl --user status pipewire pipewire-media-session pipewire-pulse

Re: Sound not working in pipewire

Does this get things working:

systemctl --user restart pipewire{,-pulse,-media-session}

Reference: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire … issues/439

I would recommend using wireplumber instead of pipewire-media-session.

Re: Sound not working in pipewire

Hey!

Thanks for replying. But no it did not help. I did try wireplumber. But that didn't help either.

I am also reading this and wondering if the issue is with my Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th Gen - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=257975.

Update - Didn't find the dsp-fix.config file at all. So I am assuming this is not the issue.
