[NOT SOLVED] Audio problems on laptop

MrFriot · 2024-05-18 15:39:27

I recently installed Arch in dualboot with Windows on my laptop, and no sound appeared on Arch. I tried to do something about it, but it had no visible effect. I also have a monitor connected to my laptop via hdmi (I point because once on Windows I couldn't figure out where the sound was going, and it went into the monitor for some reason).
Here is the result of running some commands:

aplay -L

null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
lavrate
    Rate Converter Plugin Using Libav/FFmpeg Library
samplerate
    Rate Converter Plugin Using Samplerate Library

speex
    Plugin using Speex DSP (resample, agc, denoise, echo, dereverb)
upmix

vdownmix

default

hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=0
    HD-Audio Generic, HDMI 0
    HDMI Audio Output
usbstream:CARD=Generic
    HD-Audio Generic
    USB Stream Output

cat /proc/asound/cards

 0 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
                      HD-Audio Generic at 0xd03c0000 irq 77

speaker-test -c 2
Works without errors, but no sound.

What can I do to fix it?

Helpers?

Please don't do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … es#Bumping

What "I tried to do something about it but had no effect" did you do exactly?

Post

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
aplay -l
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
sudo dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'
systemctl --user status pipewire{,-pulse} pulseaudio wireplumber

does

speaker-test -Dhw:0 -c2

work instead?

Following the advice from the forum, I downloaded the sof-firmwire package or something like that and a few other packages, like alsa-utils, from the wiki.

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  Alex        773 F.... pulseaudio

aplay -l
