#+title:  pulse-audio
#+filetags: :linux:

Linux program to control the audio drivers. Does not work very well with the Sounblaster-Z soundcard. It works only an old version with old alsa-card-profiles. The update of Pulseaudio, alsa and alsa-cardprofiles is suspended so that these programs are not updated.

An update should therefore always be performed via update and not via pacman -Suy.



If this is the case, you can use the command:
[[id:673d1cb1-536b-42f1-a046-40a8937c4283][root]] access needed ([[id:dc54334e-afa9-4a53-be91-1e90bc6bf8d0][sudo]])
#+begin_src bash
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libpulse-14.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pulseaudio-14.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/alsa-card-profiles-1\:0.3.32-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
#+end_src

Restore the old constellation.



Otherwise simply:

#+begin_src 
alsactl init
#+end_src




Solutions that did not work:

#+begin_src bash
options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0

options snd-hda-intel model=generic
#+end_src

Those [[id:18661cd7-f886-48b7-91e6-190ebe24a6df][pulse-audio-settings]] could make audio quality better.
