[SOLVED]No audio after crash

I was playing MC until it crashed and had to restart my pc, and now my speakers don´t put out any sound, although wireplumber shows the audio being outputted.
My headset does work, and they are both analog.
I already tried restarting wireplumber and pipewire, but it didn´t solve it.

Re: [SOLVED]No audio after crash

What is "MC"?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePl … t_settings ?
Do you get sound over the HW directly?

Re: [SOLVED]No audio after crash

Sorry, MC is minecraft, it crashed and I think it bricked the sound port which was active at the moment of the crash, as switching the speaker's jack from that port to the one which had the headset connected does make the speakers sound.
I also tried removing the wireplumber settings in case they were corrupted by stopping wireplumber.service and removing the directory at ~/.local/state/wireplumber, but it didn´t solve it either.
So yeah, the HW works, even in the same computer but another port.

amixer -Dhw:0
amixer -Dhw:1

Are the ports labeled?

Re: [SOLVED]No audio after crash

Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 87
  Mono: Playback 73 [84%] [-10.50dB] [on]
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 87
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 87 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
  Front Right: Playback 87 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]

I think these are the ports that i use for sound, the 'Master' one is the one that, at the moment, isn't working.

Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',1
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',2
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',3
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]

This is the output that makes the

amixer -Dhw:1

command

Re: [SOLVED]No audio after crash

Master is the gloabal volume - that's all?
IEC958 is HDMI, that's you GPU - the other card only seems to have HP outputs.

Did you update the kernel before the (forced) reboot?
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -s -H "Accept: application/json, */*" --upload-file - 'https://paste.c-net.org/'

Re: [SOLVED]No audio after crash

Solved it! Turns out it was an error with the setsockop function of pipewire.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction with the system journal, it hadn't occurred to me to check it before.
