pulse-audio

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: root access needed (sudo)

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

Restore the old constellation.

Otherwise simply:

alsactl init

Solutions that did not work:

options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

Those pulse-audio-settings could make audio quality better.
