Hello,
I’m not anywhere close to being a Linux ‘expert’, but I’ve been dabbling in Ubuntu based distros since Ubuntu came out. I just installed Garuda Linux today, my first Arch based distro.
I installed Garuda on a Dell Latitude 7300 (i5-8265U) a few minutes ago.
When I plug into the 3.5mm headphone jack, there is only a buzzing sound, like if you hold your fingers on all the poles of a powered speaker. (basically short out the speaker connector while it’s powered on).
The buzzing sound sometimes stops after mute/unmute.
There was no sound at all so I opened Garuda Assistant → System Components → Audio and changed it from pipwire to PulseAudio. “speaker-test -c 2” now puts out sound, but that is the only sound I can get from the laptop. (speaker-test had no output until I changed to Pulse)
I googled “arch linux no sound” and that’s how I found the speaker-test command, but I’ve not found anything useful for my predicament.
When I open KDE system settings and try to test the speakers, this is the error message:
Error trying to play a test sound.
The system said: “Invalid state”
If this was a debian based distro, I would remove all the installed sound drivers in Synaptic and reinstall PulseAudio only, but I have no idea how to go about that in Arch.
Any instructions or ideas on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated. I really like the look and feel of Garuda so far and I’d like to be able to give it a long-term try.
Thanks,
-eric79xxl
