No Sound Output Arch Fresh Install (sof-audio-pci)?

Just installed Arch in dual boot and there is no sound. It keeps showing "Dummy Output" in pavucontrol.

here's the output for

journalctg | grep sof-audio-pci

I installed

sof-firmware

and now it shows my audio device. Still no sound output comes, though.

Did you followed this wiki ?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … chitecture

# pacman -S alsa-utils
# pacman -S pulseaudio
# alsactl init
Unmute and raise volume
$ alsamixer 
May also need a restart

but still no audio output.

Re: No Sound Output Arch Fresh Install (sof-audio-pci)?

"No audio output" is quite undescriptive... What's your output for

aplay -lL
amixer -c0
pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
#During output attempts
pacmd list-sink-inputs
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
