If your audio devices disappear after a reboot in EndeavourOS with Pipewire, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
Check Pipewire Service: Ensure that the Pipewire services are running. You can check this by running:
bash
Copy code
systemctl --user status pipewire
systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse
If they're not active, you can start them with:
bash
Copy code
systemctl --user start pipewire
systemctl --user start pipewire-pulse
Update System: Make sure your system is fully updated. Run:
bash
Copy code
sudo pacman -Syu
Check for Missing Configuration: Sometimes, configurations might not be properly set. Check the ~/.config/pipewire/ directory for relevant configuration files. You can try resetting configurations by renaming or removing those files and rebooting.
Reinstall Pipewire: If issues persist, consider reinstalling Pipewire:
bash
Copy code
sudo pacman -Rns pipewire
sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse
Check User Group: Ensure your user is part of the audio group:
bash
Copy code
groups
If not, add yourself:
bash
Copy code
sudo usermod -aG audio $USER
Log Out and Back In: After making changes to user groups, log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.
Review Logs: Check the system logs for any error messages related to audio:
bash
Copy code
journalctl --user -xe | grep pipewire
If these steps do not resolve the issue, you might want to check the EndeavourOS forums or community for further assistance. More Info Here>>
