Re: Again, sound problems on laptop
Reply #4 –
On a boot with no working sound try killing all of pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber and starting them again.
pkill pipewire; pkill pipewire-pulse;pkill wireplumber
/usr/bin/pipewire & /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse & /usr/bin/wireplumber &
Do you now have sound ?
If yes try moving the start of pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber into an autostart rather than ~/.xnitrc
I have been starting pipewire in .xintrc for ages.
On a recently built system on a spare partition starting pipewire in .xintrc has symtoms like you describe.
Starting in autostart works every time.
I don't know why? I have other installs on other partitions where .xintrc continues to work just fine !?!?
