Hello Garuda users.

Please read the following template before requesting assistance:

Please post the terminal/konsole input and output as text (no pictures) from the the following command:

garuda-inxi

Refusing to post the output of the required “garuda-inxi” on a help request will likely result in you not receiving any help from the Garuda team. A failure to provide your system specs may also result in your thread being closed without notice, (as without this information providing assistance is often next to impossible).

Before opening a new help request, please search the Arch and Garuda Wiki’s, and read any relevant sections related to your issue. Also, thoroughly search any error messages in the forum’s search engine and on the web. For in depth information on how to search for answers to Linux issues effectively, read the tips on the Garuda Wiki:

@owujib

System install date: 2022-09-16
Last full system update: 2023-02-19
Kernel: 6.1.9-zen1-2-zen

In terminal use

garuda-update

and reboot.
Kernel now is 6.3.1-zen2-1-zen

[owujib]

Yes I did a full system update and I also tried the following commands

systemctl --user enable pipewire.service
systemctl --user enable pipewire-pulse.service

and my audio worked the only thing left is that the control like the keyboard shortcuts are not working, Thanks

[SGS]

Use garuda-assistant and reset configs, remove latte dock it is out of date.

[Latte Dock] The end of an era (designing a Latte-Dock free alternative dr460nized setup)

Gotcha, it is now removed during the migration. This sadly does not propagate to existing installations (all of the installations are that are getting migrated).

Reboot and check.

Open new help request if the problem exists, this topic is solved.

[owujib]

Thanks
