Pipewire audio on brand new installation not working. Seeking help

TiniBobini · 2025-10-16 14:40:05

Hi, I recently migrated over to Arch and I am having issues getting my audio to work with Pipewire. While I am not brand new to using Arch Linux, I am still a beginner. I read through the wiki on Pipewire and ALSA yet I cannot get it to work. I feel like I have enabled what needs to be enabled and downloaded what needs to be downloaded. I'm not sure where else to go from here or what to do. Help would be appreciated. This is my first time posting on this forum so apologies if I did something wrong or formatting is incorrect.

The following packages are downloaded and up to date:

pipewire
wireplumber
sof-firmware
alsa-lib
alsa-firmware
inux-firmware-intel
alsa-utils

Here are my systemctl outputs:
# systemctl --user status pipewire wireplumber

I also have alsa-restore and alsa-state listed here. Though since (I don't think) alsa-state is supposed to be enabled by default I'm not sure what to do there.

I also have been using alsamixer to try and troubleshoot. I have four sound cards as well as a default option listed:

[b]Sound Card[/b]
(default)
default:0 USB PnP Audio Device
default:1 HDA ATI HDMI
default:2 HD-Audio Generic
default:3 USB Device xxxx:xxxx

the (default) option just has Pipewire as the card and the chip. default:1 has ATI R6xx HDMI as the chip. default:2 has Realtek ALCS1200A as the chip. This one seems the most promising because a full sound mixer with Master, Surround, Center, etc sliders available. Also the Auto-Mute option is Disabled.

I hope I can get this resolved. I am looking forward to using my new system and I'm super excited about Arch! Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

Welcome to the boards

No issues in those outputs in what way does what exactly not work, what, how are you testing? Just from the packages you list, you definitely want pipewire-pulse and pipewire-alsa as well. That said these outputs also provide limited diagnostics to outsiders, a better set

sudo journalctl -b |  curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st #should upload to a pastebin and give you a link
aplay -l
amixer -c2
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
#During attempted playback
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list sink-inputs

Hi thank you V1del! My audio just will not play at all, no noises or beeps whatsoever. I am using the speaker-test command to test my audio and sometimes YouTube just to see. I forgot about pipewire-pulse and pipewire-alsa in my initial post, I checked and those are also installed and up to date as well. I tried searching the internet for any solutions with the outputs that were provided. But I just don't know enough about how this works enough to figure it out. Hopefully I am replying correctly, I was not quite sure if I was doing it correctly lol.

I didn't want to upload the full pastebin file from # sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st because I feel like it would be a security risk for me. But I can go through and find specific things if need be.

Looks like the analog jack is not properly marked as available and playback is routed to a digital out, is that the setup you want or do you intend to play to analog speakers? but all outputs otherwise look fine, does

speaker-test -Dhw:2 -c2

give you audible noise? If it does does

pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_0a_00.4 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

help with pipewire output?

The journal is not supposed to contain confidental information, and peacemealing the plethora of stuff that I'd want to check is often cumbersome, if you can't take my word for it, go through the file and mask things you consider confidental with unique placeholders (username -> USER, IP ADDR - xxxx, secretid -> yyyy), .... most relevance would be kernel errors with regard to either the snd-hda-intel driver or the relevant pci bus, but some things really need relevant surrounding context.

Also general disclaimer since proper audio states are normally a victim of that and you mention migrating recently: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_b … ibernation -- make sure fast start is disabled. If you wiped Windows you'll need to properly reset UEFI firmware state (UEFI update/CMOS reset or so...) to make sure to not get hit by this condition.

I tested the first command and it didn't work. To be completely honest I don't know the true difference between an analog and digital setup. I just have my two monitor speakers and my bluetooth headphones (but I haven't tested the headphones yet). I did migrate from windows recently so there's a chance that could be the case. Although most things I find online to disable fast start give only commands for windows, I'm not sure how to do it or if I can do it for linux. Is this an issue strictly for users who dual boot, or can this happen on a single-boot system? When I installed the OS I reformatted both my drives so the only thing on my system should be Linux. Thank you again.

Small update! I connected my headphones to my PC and it ended up working! Though the speakers on my monitors still aren't working and I'm not sure why. It's not the best solution but it will work for me for now. I just hope that I can figure it out in the future. I'm not sure if I should mark this post as solved because I didn't really fix the problem.
