[Solved] No audio output or input devices found

I recently installed Arch on my computer, but there is no sound. I also tried using an external USB audio card, but that didn't show up. Other solutions to this problem didn't help.

Here is my alsa-info: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=36bada15a … 003f2c5bdc.

Re: [Solved] No audio output or input devices found

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list-cards

If something like wireplumber is installed but you are using pulseaudio and not pipewire-pulse and don't want to change that you'd need to disable wireplumber

systemctl --user mask wireplumber --now

Re: [Solved] No audio output or input devices found

$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

returned nothing.

$ pactl list-cards
No valid command specified.

$ systemctl --user mask wireplumber --now
Unit wireplumber.service does not exist, proceeding anyway.
Created symlink /home/auser0/.config/systemd/user/wireplumber.service → /dev/null.

I restarted my computer after running these commands and audio is working now. Thank you.
