[SOLVED] No sound devices found

I recently decided to install Arch again, and I wanted to set my headphone jack to an input device, and it for some reason broke my sound completely. I'm using KDE Plasma and the audio manager is telling me that No output or input devices have been found, wether I have a cable plugged into my headphone jack or not. Alsamixer is also not displaying any devices on any card. I'm also on a laptop if that would help. He're are the pacman packages that I have installed (and that I think have something to do with sound):
alsa-card-profiles 1:1.0.6-1
alsa-lib 1.2.11-1
alsa-topology-conf 1.2.5.1-3
alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.11-1
alsa-utils 1.2.11-1
ipewire 1:1.0.6-1
pipewire-alsa 1:1.0.6-1
pipewire-audio 1:1.0.6-1
pipewire-jack 1:1.0.6-1
pulseaudio 17.0-3

Re: [SOLVED] No sound devices found

Let's start with the low hanging fruit.  What are the output of:

uname -a
pacman -Q linux   (Change that command as appropriate if you are not using the stock kernel)
lspci

?

Re: [SOLVED] No sound devices found

Please post the `lspci -nnk` output for the lspci entry:

Also the output of

aplay -l

Re: [SOLVED] No sound devices found

So kde now recognizes audio devices, and it also plays system sounds, however im for some reason unable to play any video or audio trough chrome, I tried youtube and some news websites and I also tried soundcloud, and all of them are unable to even load the track

Re: [SOLVED] No sound devices found

Which audio server are you running?

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
pacman -Qs 'wire|pulse'
systemctl --user status pipewire{,-pulse} wireplumber pulseaudio

Re: [SOLVED] No sound devices found

Not sure if I'm supposed to post all of the outputs here (guessing not, correct me if I'm wrong) but all of the outputs are basically telling me wireplumber, pulseaudio and pipewire

Re: [SOLVED] No sound devices found

Post them here, wrap them in [ code ] [ /code ] tags without the spaces.

If pulseaudio and wireplumber both show up in that list, that will be a logical conflict, you probably want to replace pulseaudio with pipewire-pulse and reboot. (and I realize that's in your OP already, should've suggested that beforehand, sorry)
