fradeca · 2023-10-19 17:45:02

Sound is not working on my new fresh installed Arch.
If i run:

amixer sset PCM unmute

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

I tried to change default card with no success. I hope you can help.

I think my default card should be: card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [PHL 275E2F] (which is my monitor)

Tried reinstalling alsa-utils?

V1del · 2023-10-20 10:59:33

alsa-utils contains tools to query device information, they aren't even involved in anything when actively attempting to use sound.

HDMI devices not having PCM mixer controls is normal. I'm seeing a pulseaudio-alsa setup. Have you checked pavucontrol/pactl for default device settings? Why do you "think" you want the HDMI card to be the audio out, are your speakers connected to the monitor/does the monitor have speakers in the first place?

What do you get from

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs

during "a no sound situation" (play a youtube video or something)

Yesterday for a moment, after installing pavucontrol sound "magically" was working. After reboot again no sound. The only speaker I have is the monitor integrated one.
