No sound on fresh installed Arch

Tiko · 2022-03-20 13:30:55

As I am a newbie in arch, I installed it by command archinstall
I though everything is working fine, until I noticed that sound is not working. I tried this:

pacman -S alsa-utils

then,

amixer sset Master unmute

and I get:

amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0

I do not know how to fix it further, hope for a help.

Little information for you:

cat /proc/asound/cards

gives:

0 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                     HDA NVidia at 0xb4000000 irq 17

amixer -c1 sset Master unmute

gives:

Invalid card number '1'.

speaker-test -c 2

gives:

speaker-test 1.2.6

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1032:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory

aplay -l

gives:

I assume you aren't looking for just a HDMI card, what system/mainboard is this? Post the outputs of

sudo dmesg | grep -iE 'snd|sof'

You are trying to unmute sound without an actual sound system, I guess some of your files are may be missing because when you trying to unmute your Alsa Mixer, I've seen it says

amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0

Any ideas how to fix that?

robinOP · 2022-03-20 15:41:51

Could you check

sudo pacman -S sof-firmware

if these packages are downloaded, then test to see if sound works

speaker-test -c 2

You need to install sof-firmware for your actual card.

Yes, I have installed sof-firmware on my Arch

and as you said the

 speaker-test -c 2

started working:

speaker-test 1.2.6

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 96 to 1048576
Period size range from 32 to 349526
Using max buffer size 1048576
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 262144
was set buffer_size = 1048576
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right
Time per period = 12.019210
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right

but, I still cant hear anything. Also, I think ALSA sees my card, but I can not turn it on for some reason:

You'll have to reboot for the firmware to be properly loaded. If your previous outputs are any indication, then no ALSA did not yet see your card.

If it isn't fixed on a reboot repost

aplay -lL
amixer -c1 #or 0 you need to use the index of the actual card from aplay -l here
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks

Unfortunately, it didn't fixed

No, your real soundcard isn't there, can you repost the dmesg command I asked for earlier? If you installed sof-firmware and you still get this output you might be out of luck, if you do not need the microphone one thing you can try here is /etc/modprobe.d/switchDSP.conf

options snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver=1

and reboot.

I have sent it above, but i will send it again anyway

it says "No such file or directory"

Well, I guess I will reinstall Arch, if problem stays, I will try using Manjaro

V1del · 2022-03-20 20:59:03

You need to create that file with that content.

Manjaro nor a reinstall of Arch will help you, this is either a kernel level or a firmware problem, where Manjaro can give you exactly zero additional features. One thing you can try that might help is install sof-firmware-git and/or linux-mainline for newer kernel/sof firmwares.
