No sound in my system

I have installed a new desktop computer and plugged the DP and HDMI ports into the graphics card,.After that, I have already installed the graphics card driver.

When configuring the sound card according to the online method, I found myself unable to find pipewire-media-session.service.

I think there is a problem with this, and it causes the computer to be unable to play sound. But I haven't found out how to solve this problem.

Here are some output information：

systemctl --user enable --now pipewire-media-session.service

Re: No sound in my system

wireplumber is a dropin implementation of the media-session service and it's running, so that's rather unlikely to be your issue. Make sure pipewire-pulse is installed and running as well and then actually diagnose the real issue. Which graphics card, which HDMI monitor do you expect audio from? What output do you get from

aplay -lL
wpctl status
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks

Post these (and edit your first post) in [ code ] [ /code ] tags without spaces.
