[SOLVED] Sound not working on the laptop

Hello, I installed Arch following the official guide and now I have a problem with sound. I have no sound on the laptop. speaker-test command doesn't produce any sound.

I tried adding the following to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf without a satisfying result:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Below is information that might help you debug the problem:

[doskanoness@archlinux ~]$ sudo ./alsa-info.sh

Re: [SOLVED] Sound not working on the laptop

I found the solution here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … -suspended

I changed this in /etc/pulse/default.pa:

### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
load-module module-suspend-on-idle

to this:

### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
#load-module module-suspend-on-idle

Problem is solved

Re: [SOLVED] Sound not working on the laptop

Thanks @doskanoness for share the solution. I thinks is a new bug, my 2y old installation had this problem too. In my case "idle for too long" was 10 seconds XD

Thank you a lot! I have spent several hours trying to solve the problem but failed. Finally, I google the posts in the past 24 hours and see your post, which solves the problem perfectly!

Re: [SOLVED] Sound not working on the laptop

That will lead to increased power draw. The more proper fix is exchanging wireplumber for pipewire-media-session (which it replaced for a short while which is why so many threads popped up in the last 24 hours) so that pipewire screensharing can still be used while pulse has full control of the device.
