No sound after dual-boot

Installed Arch, with a 4th partition on which I installed Windows. Sound worked until I booted into Windows from GRUB. After that, sound only worked on Windows.

I tried re-installing Arch, same process,but audio broke again. I am using PipeWire and wireplumber. I don't know how/if it is possible to get audio working again on Arch. If anyone knows how to fix the audio, please let me know.

Re: No sound after dual-boot

Make sure Windows fast boot is disabled otherwise unstable firmware states could be present: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_b … ibernation

Other than that "doesn't work" isn't an error message. How are you determining that it doesn't? Outputs of

aplay -lL
amixer -c0
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks

in [ code ] [ /code ] tags without spaces.

Re: No sound after dual-boot

Fast boot isn't an option in the Windows Control Panel, so I think it doesn't help. Outputs of the above-mentioned commands in Konsole are:

Re: No sound after dual-boot

Fast boot definitely is an option if you use Windows 8+, and definitely active unless you're on a corporate/hacked/whatever system either just use the command mentioned in the wiki, or check "Energy options" -> "what happens when the power button is pressed" (or so, not on a windows)

What is "sound" here? The BT headset? Properly using that on multiple operating systems operated by the same BT adapter can have quite a few stipulations: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blueto … ot_pairing

Re: No sound after dual-boot

I've disabled Fast startup both in BIOS and Windows (I ran

 powercfg /h off 

), but that didn't resolve my problem. I am using a bluetooth speaker as a temporary solution, since bluetooth does work. I set sound to come out of the same built-in speakers that were working before I installed windows (Family 17h/19h HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo)

Re: No sound after dual-boot

The sound device is there and present. When switching and playing back from  the "not working" audio output (it's btw only at 50% maybe up that) What do you get from

amixer -c1
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs

one thing that's weird is the .2 device which is probably a pipewire/wireplumber fuckup, if upping the volume to 100% doesn't work, make sure you're on wireplumber 0.5.3 and remove it's state cache

rm ~/.local/state/wireplumber

reboot and check again.

doesn't return anything, even though I am on a laptop and it does have a built in audio input device. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I was connected to my bluetooth speaker when executing the commands. Oh, and the final command returns the following:

rm: cannot remove '/home/Bako/.local/state/wireplumber': Is a directory

After a forced restart, what I do notice is that, once again, audio works until I boot into Windows. A regular restart after booting into Windows does not resolve the problem.

Re: No sound after dual-boot

It'd be

rm -r ~/.local/state/wireplumber

sorry. But the additional observation that warm reboots from windows break this and hard reboots fix this, sound like the powercfg command didn't go through (you did run that from an administrator console right?) or still issues with your firmware states, try a UEFI/BIOS update.

Re: No sound after dual-boot

I ran cmd.exe as administrator (in the Run window, I typed "cmd" and used control+shift+enter, then I ran the powercfg command). Removed the directory, but after a reboot, Arch re-made it. A UEFI update did not help, but since a forced restart fixes the problem, maybe there is a way to either: a) make a regular restart be similar to a forced restart
b) emulate the same effects of a forced restart.
I might be wrong, but I believe the drivers are the issue. Maybe there is a way to download official speaker drivers for my laptop (Asus ZenBook UM433I) specifically for Linux, since it works fine on Windows.

Re: No sound after dual-boot

No, that's going to be unrelated. Can you "fix" this by running

sudo alsactl init

when booted into Arch?

Re: No sound after dual-boot

sudo alsactl init

did output this:

Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "ATI R6xx HDMI" "HDA:1002aa01,00aa0100,00100700" "0x1002" "0x1637"

But, alas, audio is still not working.
