Hi there
Currently we are working on it .
Please try some solutions here :
- Adjust ALSA Volume
On Arch Linux, you can still use alsamixer to adjust the ALSA volume:
Open the terminal and enter the following command:
bash
alsamixer
Use the left and right arrow keys to select different volume control items (such as Master, PCM, etc.), and use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the volume.
Make sure no volume item is muted (muted items will show as “MM”). If an item is muted, press the M key to unmute it.
After adjusting, press Esc to exit alsamixer.
- Check PulseAudio Configuration
If you are using PulseAudio, you can check and adjust its settings.
Open the terminal and restart PulseAudio:
bash
pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio –start
Install and use pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control) to adjust the volume and device settings:
bash
sudo pacman -S pavucontrol
After installation, run pavucontrol and make sure the volume settings are correct and not set too low.
- Install and Update Audio Drivers
On Arch Linux, you can install or update the audio drivers using the following commands:
Install ALSA drivers:
bash
sudo pacman -S alsa-utils alsa-lib
Install PulseAudio (if it’s not already installed):
bash
sudo pacman -S pulseaudio
If you’re using Intel or Realtek audio chips, ALSA and PulseAudio should generally support them. You can ensure all packages are up-to-date by running:
bash
sudo pacman -Syu
- Check System Logs
If the issue persists after adjusting the volume, you can check the system logs for any audio-related error messages:
bash
dmesg | grep audio
- Check Other Audio Tools
If your system uses other audio management tools (such as jack or pipewire), you may need to check their configurations.
On Arch, Pipewire is also a popular audio system that is replacing PulseAudio. You can check if it’s installed and properly configured.
Install Pipewire (if you want to use it):
bash
sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa
Enable the Pipewire service:
bash
sudo systemctl enable –now pipewire
