From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[Help] Audio devices disappear after reboot (EndeavourOS, Pipewire) (lemmy.ca)

Hello! I've posted this a few weeks ago on /c/linux4noobs@programming.dev but I didn't get much of an answer, I hope it's okay to post it here as well.

I use 3 audio devices on my computer: my monitor's speakers (through HDMI), my headphones (through line-out/built-in audio) and my microphone (line-in/built-in audio). They all work fine, but when I reboot my headphones / line-out don't seem to get recognized at all.

The only solution I've found thus far is to re-install alsa-utils twice after rebooting. Upon the first reinstall, my line-out / headphones reappear but my line-in mic disappears, only to come back after the second reinstall. Technically my sound works perfectly fine after this, but it feels extremely dumb to reinstall a package twice after every reboot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance :)

If your audio devices disappear after a reboot in EndeavourOS with Pipewire, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Check Pipewire Service: Ensure that the Pipewire services are running. You can check this by running:

bash Copy code systemctl --user status pipewire systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse If they're not active, you can start them with:

bash Copy code systemctl --user start pipewire systemctl --user start pipewire-pulse Update System: Make sure your system is fully updated. Run:

bash Copy code sudo pacman -Syu Check for Missing Configuration: Sometimes, configurations might not be properly set. Check the ~/.config/pipewire/ directory for relevant configuration files. You can try resetting configurations by renaming or removing those files and rebooting.

Reinstall Pipewire: If issues persist, consider reinstalling Pipewire:

bash Copy code sudo pacman -Rns pipewire sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse Check User Group: Ensure your user is part of the audio group:

bash Copy code groups If not, add yourself:

bash Copy code sudo usermod -aG audio $USER Log Out and Back In: After making changes to user groups, log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.

Review Logs: Check the system logs for any error messages related to audio:

bash Copy code journalctl --user -xe | grep pipewire If these steps do not resolve the issue, you might want to check the EndeavourOS forums or community for further assistance. More Info Here>>
