I tried to switch to pipewire, but it did not work!
Can you help me, please?

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

How do you know it did not work?  Not trying to be funny, but what audio source did you try to use?  Were there any errors?

You have both an HDMI output and an Intel HDA.  Any chance your audio is not going where you expect?  Is your monitor HDMI?  Your audio might be going there.  Not much help if there are no speakers.
What desktop environment is this?

May I suggest you install and run pavucontrol ?  It is a handy GUI tool that lets you see what sources are hooked to what sinks, has controls that let you check volumes and mute states, and has audio level meters that might show audio activity even if it is not audible.   


Finally, I suggest you also circle back around to pipewire and find out what are the issues there.  I say this as it is the preferred solution for Arch Linux.

All what concerns my system I posted in my first post, I use Plasma DE.

I try to play youtube video in browser, Firefox, and I don't have output, BTW the video has some problem to reproduce, even if my internet connection is very well.

So it is a laptop, and I want to use built-in speakers those Intel HDA.

Error is with creation of deamon for pulseaudio, as I posted in 5th code block. So I guess there is another instance of pulseaudio is running but I don't know how to stop it.

I tried pavuconsole, and all of possible outputs there, no result. Built-in speakers are not muted, I checked it as well.

Some suggestions?

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

Hi,
Most likely, pulseaudio is managed by the systemd/User service ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd/User ).

Enter the following commands in a terminal:
- view status
$>  systemctl --user status pulseaudio{.socket,.service}
- stop
$> systemctl --user stop pulseaudio{.socket,.service}
- start
$>  systemctl --user start pulseaudio{.socket,.service}

Hope that helps.

Hello, jason_gates!
Thank you for your response, I tried to do so multiple times, it doesn't work.
What is interesting that on my desktop I have the same logs for 

pulseaudio -v

like what the deamon is already run, but I have audio output.

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

First see whether your your hardware generates any kind of noise before introducing ways to break your sound (aka "pulseaudio")

aplay -lL
amixer -c0 # that's a guess, also check -c1 and -c2
mpv -ao alsa thunderstruck.mp3

I reinstalled arch only with pipewire, but a problem persists.

I suppose that a problem comes from drivers, I have modern laptop and I read that I need sof-firmware, but drivers used by kernel is standard ones, here:

lspci -k

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … -firmware/ - didn't see and relevant complaints in your journal in the other thread, though.
Master is on, headphones are off, speakers are on.

Did you try "mpv -ao alsa thunderstruck.mp3" (and don't dare to complain that you don't have a thunderstruck.mp3 in every directory, that's your cultural deficit only tongue )

ok, sof-firmware is already installed, how to load this firmware ?

Unfortunately I don't have music at all on my laptop....

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

The firmware is automatically loaded if required.

Unfortunately I don't have music at all on my laptop....

Ok, let's fix that first:

alsamixer -c0

Ramp up the volume for the headphones, do you hear anything (on headphones or speaker)?

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

Try to add 

snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1

or 

snd-hda-intel.model=asus-zenbook

to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters and try the regular (non-lts) kernel, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_R … 2LXS#Audio + https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_L … tom_kernel

so I tried both options in GRUB, it doesn't work in regular kernel neither.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_R … 2LXS#Audio - it means that I need pulse-audio instead of pipewire?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_L … tom_kernel - is it a linux kernel for asus laptops? does it mean that I won't be able to use a main lts linux kernel?

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

pulseaudio and pipewire are userspace sound daemons; if you don't get sound through alsa, neither of them will help you.
The pulseaudio notion in that article is only because that approach wouldn't let you change the volume except for "on" or "off", so you'd need *some* userspace sound daemon to fine tune the volume.

As the other wiki link points out, the asus kerneĺ no longer has patches that are not in the regular kernel as well (why I asked to try that instead of the LTS one)

You did try to plug in some headphones?

so I tried both options in GRUB

To be sure: you didn't just edit /etc/default/grub but added them to the interactive commandline editor?

How I got from first link there are 3 ways to set it, so I changed GRUB and generated new grub config.

I have to find my wired headphones. I guess u already got that I'm not into music ...

And if standard kernel has all patches, pipewire and pulseaudio don't work for me, in rog control center I don't have any option linked with audio, what else can I do? Because when I play media in web browser I can see over pavucontrol some kind of " equalizer" that indicates output, it's a blue line that moves in tact with sound

Just that the system plays something obviously doesn't mean you necessarily hear anything. There're several layers between the userspace sound daemon and your ears.

Test the HP output behavior first.

Yeah, I understand this.

OK I will try it tomorrow.

And what do you think about sof-firmware that I installed. In Linux kernel there are standard audio drivers snd_hda_intel, sof-firmware proposes snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl. My kernel uses the standard one. Is there any chance to force kernel to use another one?

And alsa says that intel speaker and nvidia are initiated over standard way, is it good sign?

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

sof-firmware provides firmware, not a kernel module (driver)
They work together and I didn't see any related issues in your former post (also the more common outcome would be the absensence of a sound device)

And alsa says that

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

But your previous aplay/amixer output shows that the intel chip is the default soundcard (which is "good", the nvidia one only feeds the HDMI output)

Hello, so I could not find any wired PH at my place, I tried BT but it does not work
Maybe I have to ask someone a wired PH just to test the sound

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

I have an ASUS zenbook as well, and I used to have issues with the audio system. The fix ended up being a kernel patch:

Re: Sound issue on fresh installation [ASUS Flow Z13]

Searching in Google I found another post about my card  HDA Intel PCH, ALC285 Analog , it tells that there is some issue with pins and solution for that is to disable the hardware acceleration for audio. I can not find any related information how to do so on Linux.
Is it possible? How?
