CachyOS fresh install. Right out of the box.
No Audio devices in System Settings menu, no audio devices in taskbar Volume menu. Both are empty.
Here goes my journalctl log.
I uploaded bug log here:
Default kernel, KDE Plasma. I explained the bug in the following thread. https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/no-sound-devices-after-fresh-install/3168/43
I used different kernels (bore, lts, arch - no sound devices). But all the sound cards present in the system with no errors.
I managed to resolve the issue by installing pulseaudio (on previous installation), but I consider this not the right solution. People say, kernels are broken(?)
UPD: THE SOLUTION FOUND But it is unstable! Sometimes works, sometimes - NOT
I ended my Wayland Session and changed to X11 Session.
MIRACLE! All the devices are back in System Settings and Taskbar!
I ended X11 Session and changed back to Wayland.
EVERYTING WORKS! Speaker test also works.
But this solution does not mean there is no bug. The BUG is still alive. Kill it, please! KDE - Wayland is still buggy.
I encountered the same issue and attempted various solutions without success. Ultimately, I resolved the problem by executing the following steps: I opened the configuration file using the command sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/snd_hda_intel.conf and added the line options snd_hda_intel power_save=0. After saving the changes, I ran sudo mkinitcpio -P to apply the modifications. Before this adjustment, the audio would function temporarily but would cease after a few seconds. This solution seems to address the issue I was facing.
Hello!
Thank you for the instruction but it did not help me.
1, If I remove pipewire and install wireplumber, my sound immediatelly disappeares.
2. There is no snd_hda_intel.conf file in my system.
3. If I create above mentioned file and add the line as you described and start the system - no sound.
4. I removed wireplumber and reinstalled pipewire. The issue is deeper. I don’t know its location.
5. No such an issue on Debian SID (unstable) next to CachiOS on the same PC. Everything works out of the box on Fedora, Manjaro, EOS, OpenSUSE, MX-linux etc.
