Pulseaudio

I had pulseaudio annd it was normal than suddenly i boot laptop no sound and reboot fixes that it was like that for a day or two till it becomes completely doesn't work no sound at all. But it's running but just no sound.
I want to change to another one that support runit or I want a fix I can't locate the problem. Idk what to do in fact ?

You could give pipewire a look.

you might give Archwiki a change: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting

My guess could be some autospawning of PA or something broken in your machine.
Check if you have
- proper output selected
- alsamixer
- check if your channel are muted (some shit can happen if automute is enabled when you plugin headphones etc.)
- check your HW if it truly can play something (trust me in this, this is the most common error I encountered)

If that does not help try to provide some logs from puleaudio, dmesg, your card model (lscpi, lsusb etc.).

And many other thing could also got wrong.

I have checked arch wiki already. I couldn't find anything helpful for my case

I thought of that but no pipewire-runit available to make it start. I'm not that expert to make it by myself. I'm new to runit
Pipewire needs no init. It is started by user,; what I do is have plasma to start it for me
