I have tried to reinstalling pulseaudio and pipewire. It just won't work :

~/Documents/Self$ sudo apt install pulseaudio
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
pulseaudio is already the newest version (1:15.99.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu2.1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

:~/Documents/Self$ sudo apt install pipewire
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
pipewire is already the newest version (1.0.0-1~ubuntu22.04).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I have tried this as well

 :~$ pulseaudio --kill
 :~$ pulseaudio --start

nothing showed up even after reboot.

systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse.service

What should I do now? Thank you!

  • Please add details on what "won't work" means - no sound at all, crashing applications, error messages...? – noisefloor Dec 28 '23 at 08:54
  • No sound at all, but when I turn on the pc there’s sound indicating it’s turning on. Therefore the hardware should be good. Sorry for the confusions – OuO Dec 28 '23 at 09:34
  • If you need me to type in terminal, I’ll try to do it – OuO Dec 28 '23 at 09:35
  • To do a full reinstall and replace any missing files, you need to append your apt command as shown in this answer. So something like sudo apt update and then sudo apt -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install pulseaudio pipewire – mchid Dec 28 '23 at 17:45
  • Also: did you have sound in the past, like is this a new problem or has this problem been present since you first installed Ubuntu? – mchid Dec 28 '23 at 17:49
  • Also also, have you tried this answer? – mchid Dec 28 '23 at 17:56
  • $ sudo apt -o DPkg::Options::sudo apt -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install pulseaudio pipewire E: Option DPkg::Options::sudo: Configuration item specification must have an =. – OuO Dec 28 '23 at 20:28
