+Audio setup using PipeWire on Arch Linux with Hyprland.
+
+## Installation
+
+Already included in [[10-19 LIFE/13 TECH SETUP/13.13 OS SETUP/Base Install]], but for reference:
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S \
+  pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack \
+  wireplumber sof-firmware
+```
+
+## Volume Control
+
+### CLI
+```bash
+# Using wpctl (WirePlumber)
+wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+
+wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%-
+wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ toggle
+
+# Using pactl (PulseAudio compat)
+pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%
+pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%
+pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle
+```
+
+### GUI
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S pavucontrol  # GTK
+# or
+sudo pacman -S pwvucontrol  # Qt/PipeWire native
+```
+
+### Hyprland Keybinds
+```bash
+bind = , XF86AudioRaiseVolume, exec, wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+
+bind = , XF86AudioLowerVolume, exec, wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%-
+bind = , XF86AudioMute, exec, wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ toggle
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No sound
+
+Check WirePlumber is running:
+```bash
+systemctl --user status wireplumber
+systemctl --user status pipewire
+```
+
+Restart if needed:
+```bash
+systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse
+```
+
+### Headphone jack buzz (Framework AMD)
+
+The AMD board has slight buzz when audio idles. Disable power saving:
+
+Create `/etc/modprobe.d/audio-powersave.conf`:
+```
+options snd_hda_intel power_save=0
+```
+
+### Application-specific issues
+
+Some apps need explicit PipeWire support. Check:
+```bash
+pactl info | grep "Server Name"
+# Should show: PulseAudio (on PipeWire)
+```
