No sound on TUF GAMING x570 motherboard [SOLVED]

fleetbeet · 2020-11-11 15:30:15

I recently put together a PC using a TUF GAMING x570 motherboard but I can't get sound to work on my arch OS. I'm not sure what is causing it (and I don't really understand the output from various alsa / pulse-audio outputs very well).

I don't really know what output would be helpful to troubleshoot this (I've looked at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … leshooting but unsure which section to start with). I think the problem may be with how the sound is directed through the input/output ports and that the output is not coming to the headphone jack at the front of my computer.

Input works as I can use a webcam with a mic to produce sound.

I've attached a dump of my sinks if that is helpful (but unsure if it is)

pacmd list-sinks

Any help appreciated, thanks!

The current default is the hdmi card, change that

pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_0b_00.4.analog-stereo

then repost that with something actively playing along with

pacmd list-sink-inputs

should it still not work.

It worked! Thanks for the help.

I suggest you install pavucontrol or so to have something that better visualizes how your sound setup looks like in general and how your applications interact with the sound devices. In any case, please mark this as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ow_to_post
