[SOLVED] Sound cards not working / detected after new install

Hello,

I am trying to set up a media server on a Lenovo Tiny M920q, but I can't get the sound working. I want to use a USB sound card "Behringer U-PHONO UFO 202", but the onboard sound card is not detected either.

I first had pulseaudio installed which did not work either, but then switched to pipewire.

Some outputs:

Re: [SOLVED] Sound cards not working / detected after new install

If aplay -l doesn't work you can forget about pipewire. Did you attempt to create some asound.conf or so -- if so get rid of it. What's the full journal? 

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
pacman -Qkk alsa-lib alsa-ucm-conf

No, I did not.

Output of

$ sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

is here

$ pacman -Qkk alsa-lib alsa-ucm-conf
alsa-lib: 161 total files, 0 altered files
alsa-ucm-conf: 1008 total files, 0 altered files

Re: [SOLVED] Sound cards not working / detected after new install

I managed to solve it.

I reinstalled arch, again using archinstall script, but choosing "pipewire" directly instead of "pulseaudio" and then attempting to switch afterwards. I have no idea, what I missed before when I tried to switch.

Actually, the switch might have worked at some point, because after the new installation I noticed that 

pactl list cards

only gave output when I previously logged in directly, not using SSH. Once the direct login was done, I could also see the sound cards via SSH, but after a reboot and only logging in via SSH, I could not. The solution for this was to add the user to the audio group. It would probably be good if the archinstall script did this if I choose an audio server during the configuration, wouldn't it?

Marking this as solved. Thank you for your help!
