No audio on HDMI

igorka67

Installed and started pipewire service.
IT WORKS 😁😁😁
Self switching...
Thank you

igorka67

Although it switched to HDMI but it does not switch back...
Now i have no audio on the laptop

igorka67

And indicator-sound-switcher works only with pulseaudio...

Wat-now

igorka67 It should work with pipewire-pulse too, thats what i use it for

igorka67

Than i have a problem with config files.

try to set /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/profile-sets/multiple.conf to auto-profiles=yes in the [General] heading. You might not need "indicator-sound-switcher" since you dont plug in your aux and hdmi at the same time though.

Also you can delete the pipewire-media-session folder in config since wireplumber replaced it, unless you still use it.

igorka67

Still no audio on speaker...

I also managed to open indicator-sound-switcher but it does not help to switch back to speakers

your wpctl status should show something like:

so detection is failing somewhere

How do you put the <code> in the box?

Wat-now

You can highlight it and use insert code </> button somewhere on the same bar as you see post reply etc. or use ``` on start and same on end of code.

How come your HDMI/DP Audio Controller is not shown? Do you have the right drivers installed? For me it is my nvidia card and I think I need to have either nouveau or proprietary installed. I have them thru dkms. what does your lspci | grep VGAshow?

igorka67

igrk@obarunS6 ~ % lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

the HDMI is unplugged.

Wat-now

Ok so when you plug HDMI in, it doesnt appear in wpctl status as HDMI/DP Audio Controller? Your TV might only register 16 bit audio have you tried this: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-enable-hdmi-audio-output-in-wireplumber-on-fedora-41/137313 it says fedora but should work on arch/Obarun too

igorka67

it remains the same.
But my problem now is that i get no sound on the laptop with or without plugged tv!

Wat-now

Alright so you can delete that file because thats a regression. What does $aplay -loutput show

Is this ¨Active Profile: output:stereo-fallback¨ right?

Wat-now

igorka67 Should be, but try something else to automatically manage and add your profiles. I use pavucontrol and did not need to manually create profiles. Seems like it is causing issues
