Hi community. Yesterday I decided to switch from Ubuntu. Everything worked fine when I tested the compatibility using the USB bootable version. But after the actual install, the only thing not working is the sound. I already tried stuff from here . Everything looks ok on the Volume Control UI ( I see several output devices and the bars moving when sound is playing). And I already toggle all the options I could find on Alsamixer Some relevant outputs: Kernel Version 7.0.2-2-cachyos Pipewire status ❯ systemctl status --user pipewire pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; disabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2026-05-01 17:33:51 -05; 24min ago Invocation: 3108c2de53974746929737d92cf432e7 TriggeredBy: ● pipewire.socket Main PID: 3478 (pipewire) Tasks: 3 (limit: 18738) Memory: 15.9M (peak: 49.8M) CPU: 10.408s CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/session.slice/pipewire.service └─3478 /usr/bin/pipewire may 01 17:33:51 crisefd-cachyos systemd[3339]: Started PipeWire Multimedia Service. may 01 17:33:51 crisefd-cachyos pipewire[3478]: mod.rt: could not set nice-level to -11: Permission denied ❯ pacman -Qs pipewire local/gst-plugin-pipewire 1:1.6.4-1.1 Multimedia graph framework - pipewire plugin local/kpipewire 6.6.4-1.1 (plasma) Components relating to pipewire use in Plasma local/libpipewire 1:1.6.4-1.1 Low-latency audio/video router and processor - client library local/libwireplumber 0.5.14-1.1 Session / policy manager implementation for PipeWire - client library local/pipewire 1:1.6.4-1.1 Low-latency audio/video router and processor local/pipewire-alsa 1:1.6.4-1.1 Low-latency audio/video router and processor - ALSA configuration local/pipewire-audio 1:1.6.4-1.1 Low-latency audio/video router and processor - Audio support local/pipewire-pulse 1:1.6.4-1.1 Low-latency audio/video router and processor - PulseAudio replacement local/wireplumber 0.5.14-1.1 Session / policy manager implementation for PipeWire Audio card ❯ inxi -A Audio: Device-1: Intel Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl API: ALSA v: k7.0.2-2-cachyos status: kernel-api Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.6.4 status: active ~ Speaker Test speaker-test 1.2.15.2 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 128 to 2097152 Period size range from 64 to 1048576 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 12000 was set buffer_size = 48000 0 - Mono Time per period = 1,996832 0 - Mono Time per period = 3,007969 0 - Mono Time per period = 2,986734
