[Solved] No Audio in Arch Install, worked in past installs

thehexagon · 2020-12-01 06:30:04

HI. I have recently moved back to Arch, from Ubuntu, because of storage issues. I have come across this issue that, well, I have no sound.
System Info:
Sound Card (from alsamixer): chtrt5650 (chromebook card, useful?)
DE: LxQT
CPU: Intel
It might have something to do with the xf86-video-intel package, but not sure. It is installed already, and it has been causing minor visual glitches, but not the topic of this post.

If you can help, please do, as sound has worked with previous installs on this machine.

i tried installing pulseaudio-git, but the thread test failed, but it installed jack2.
I also installed galliumos-braswell-config, but to install, I had to delete a file, forgot which one, I thik it was default.pa in a pulseaudio directory in etc, not sure tho.

Did you check the ucm situation?

After the above, check whether it works with pure alsa (no pulseaudio) to not accidentally have stashed the success.

thehexagon · 2020-12-03 01:41:09

i checked the ucm stuff, didn't work tho, and how should i check with only alsa,

seth · 2020-12-03 07:11:15

Stop the PA daemon.
gnome/GDK probably hard-rely on it (because it's gnome) so you may have to do this from a console only login.
You can then simply run "speaker-test" and "alsamixer" (latter to see that the output isn't simply muted)

thehexagon · 2020-12-03 21:14:22

I did

pulseaudio --kill

then did

alsamixer

checked everything, nothing was muted, and then did

speaker-test

There was no noise.

thehexagon · 2020-12-05 21:54:26

i reinstalled arch, audio back. probably something to do with some drivers not being initialized or something.
