AMD RX 9070 no audio from onboard device

Hello
I have installed my new AMD RX 9070 and would like to see the performance with Manjaro. I have installed mesa from aur, games running only with one problem: No audio. Even if i play a video with VLC or use Firefox for youtube. Since I installed the AMD RX 9070 I have no audio. I’ve already testet it with Manjaro Live ISO → Same problem.

Do anyone knows where I should start to debug?

As far as I know mesa 25+ fully support this card - you can wait for update or switch to unstable branch :wink:

oh… my mistake. I thought I had already installed mesa 25.1, something must have gone wrong. I’ll try again in a moment.
edit: I’ve updated my inxi output. Now the correct mesa 25.1.0-devel is installed

Solution: If I use external sound card, then all works fine. I think my onboard sound is dead. I have tested many live iso’s and nothing worked.
