    And you’ll finally get your sound working on your new laptop after weeks of messing with pulse audio and realizing you just needed to install sof-firmware but didn’t scroll far enough in the wiki to see that, but now your pulse audio config is so messed up it’s just easier to reinstall Arch again

      Installing sound on Arch is really easy:

      1. Install ALSA
      2. Install Pulse
      3. Spend half an hour trying to get the sound test to work with various parameters
      4. Realize the default sink is set to USB audio and you don’t have a USB audio device
      5. Google how to change the default sink
      6. Change the default sink
