Hi there! For context, I’m on EndeavourOS using Pipewire.
So like the title says, my audio configuration works until I reboot my PC and then I need to fix it. I’m using both my CPU’s internal audio (to power a microphone and headphones through 3.5mm audio jacks) as well as my GPU (to send audio to my monitor through HDMI). I never use the headphones and monitor speakers concurrently, I switch between them in the device manager as needed.
When I reboot, only my HDMI audio and microphone appear in my device manager. The only fix I’ve found so far is to sudo pacman -S alsa-utils, which makes my internal audio reappear but makes my microphone disappear. I then re-reinstall alsa-utils which makes the microphone reappear, giving me access to all three of my devices.
Anyone have any leads on how to permanently fix this? My system still works, but it feels really silly re-installing alsa-utils twice after every reboot.
I’m really not familiar with ALSA but nothing in these files seems out of place, with the possible exception that they state a condition “PathExists” for a path that does not exist on my system (
/etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf). I’ll try creating the file and messing around with some commands, see if that helps.deleted by creator
