TAKE A DEEP BREATH! Take a deep breath! It’s okay! I’m a trained professional!

Aight first, LISTEN TO MY VOICE, first we’re gonna wanna open the terminal and type in Alsamixer. Now the problem is that x870 has multiple audio devices! Some might be named something like 'USB Audio" or even “Realtek ALC[numbers]”

Try to find a setting called “Auto-Mute Mode” and disable it!

If this doesn’t work, the good news is like Mint, Pop!_OS also uses Wireplumber! Open up Pavucontrol, which I think Pop!_OS just comes with or at least my friend told me it did, go to the Configuration tab, find the USB Audio tab, and change the profile to “Pro Audio” and then wait a bit and then switch it back to “Analog Stereo Duplex”! This works because it just works.

Lastly it could be a bios thing. Get into the BIOS, go to settings, then advances, and then find the Integrated Peripherals and ensure that the HD Audio Controller is enabled.

And if none of that works, it could be that Wireplumber is borked up and I have what is called a pro-gamer move. On Mint, this ALWAYS works!

systemctl --user stop wireplumber.service

rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber

systemctl --user start wireplumber.service

Take it easy, gamer.

First thing to check is Alsamixer. Get on that mfugging terminal and type in Alsamixer and then hit the F6 key to check if Mint was just being weird and muted anything. I had that happen to me a few times where it muted headphones or speakers on its own.

If that alone doesn’t work, it can help to check if wireplumber and be sure this is enabled.

systemctl status --user wireplumber.service

If it isn’t enabled, then run

systemctl --user start wireplumber.service

And if none of that worked, I did find Pavucontrol worked pretty amazingly for me. I just downloaded it and it just worked to just

sudo apt install pavucontrol

and then ran

pavucontrol &

Lemme know if any of this worked. Since you JUST got it, I don’t think it’s anything too crazy.

You know what’s worse? After finding out that image was AI, I then found out a content creator I enjoyed was AI and stealing work from an Italian artist.

Unc really is about to get scammed, gamers.

😭👍

This is a retake of my other meme as my original had an AI image that I was unaware of.

I’m getting old and soon I’m gonna get scammed by AI. I CAN FEEL IT! I can feel it about to happen!

Shit, aight. I’ll redo the meme with no slop. My bad, everyone.

Shit, is it!? I’m getting old, man. I thought it was just a guy in cosplay.
