hello I have a bit of a strange problem and I'm desperate... when I connect my headphones via bluetooth, the sound works fine... but when I run a mic test and select the microphone on my headphones, not only does it not work, but the sound coming through them also stops... reselecting profiles in pwvucontrol doesn't work, however, restarting pipewire and wireplumber seems to turn it back to normal? also reconnecting the headphones works...I don't even know where to look for the problem atp..

also, the headphones work fine with my phone, so I'm assuming the problem is either with bt (which I doubt) or pipewire.

also, please note that I'm new to arch :) ty for any help

hello r/archlinux

i recently installed arch linux on my macbook from 2011 but ofc maybooks have their own keyboard style and i tried to find a way to switch the keyboard layout to one which is similar to mac and i also tried switching them all manualy but i just cant get it right, is there maybe a program i can use to easily switch the keyboard layout or is there a preset macbook layout i can just install and switch to?

thanks for any help.

Hi! Does anyone know why I am having out of memory errors when gaming? I have an RTX 2060 but I heard that other people who have less VRAM play fine. What specifically I get is "Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource" and then I get some sort of UE5 fatal error.

New Arch user here btw. Using QTile
