When possible edit your posting instead double post… remove the third/fourth posting to clean this Topic.

Gives others a better overview.

This Kernel is EOL (End of Live).

You can change Kernels in Settings>Manjaro Settings Manager>Kernel


Do you see any Sound Device in KDE? What did you try yet?

Type Alsamixer in terminal is also worth to look at.

If i remember correct, sof-firmware should be installed for Intel Onboard Sound.

Check if you have installed this package, if not then install it.

can you tell me which kernels aren’t in eol?

the command sof-firmware doesn’t work for me, tried alsamixer, it was at 100 volume on master

6.1 LTS, 6.6 LTS and the rolling release kernel 6.11

https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html

That wasnt a command, its just the package.

You can search/install it with pamac, if you like.

Settings>Add/Remove Software

Did you choose your correct soundcard with f6?

Intel Celeron/Pentium Silver Processor High Definition Audio

And what is KDE GUI (Pavucontrol) giving you for options? Right click on the speaker icon>configure audio device.

Does it detect your soundcard there? Try to play around with your settings, maybe your soundcard is just muted.
