no voice after installation

I can not get my voice even I had installed gstreamer and alsa.
Besides, I installed plasma-pa for voice support.
$ pacman -Q gstreamer
   output is:

   gstreamer 1.18.0-1

$ pacman -Q | grep alsa
   result is:

   alsa-card-profiles 13.99.2+13+g7f4d7fcf5-1
   alsa-firmware 1.2.4-2
   alsa-lib 1.2.4-3
   alsa-topology-conf 1.2.4-2
   alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.4-2
   alsa-utils 1.2.4-2
   zita-alsa-pcmi 0.3.2-3

Re: no voice after installation

Welcome to the boards

What's your output for

arecord -l
pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sources
pacmd list-source-outputs #During a recording attempt

Post these in

[code]code tags[/code]

what are you using for testing?

Mod note, not an Arch discussion, moving to NC

Re: no voice after installation

Thanks!   And here is my result for your solution.

$ arecord -l
arecord: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

                device.class = "monitor"
                device.icon_name = "audio-input-microphone"

$ pacmd list-source-outputs
0 source output(s) available.

The system do not find my sound card, but I actually have one, and its index is 0.

Besides, I have searched https://my.oschina.net/u/4368807/blog/4259422 and tried

 $ pacmd set-default-sink 0

but it does not show anything...

However, I installed kmix one hour ago for a try and it works right now! I am afraid that my following output will be inaccurate.

Re: no voice after installation

Sounds like there's something off in general, if it breaks again post

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'
