Build-in audio output unavailable on fresh install

I’ve freshly installed and updated Manjaro but can’t get my build in audio chip to output any sound. It does seem to be reconnised but is unable to be selected within the sound panel of Plasma.

it resides within the “Inactive Cards” section of the system audio settings with the only option to have it be off. Next to this it can also be seen with pacmd list-cards giving the following output.

2 card(s) available.

It also doesn’t seem to be able to output when enabeling it with pavucontrol manually. But that probably has something to do with that all the other options other than off has an unavailable mark behind it.

Does anyone know what I could do to enable the outputting sound via the build-in sound card?

Look for and find the “how to provide good information” thread
and provide info on your hardware as recommended therein.
inxi -Fazy
should go a long way, but there is more …

As people here cannot just look for themselves for relevant information
you need to provide it - as the hardware and needed drivers for it are a very likely cause of your problem.

Cheers!

I’ll take a guess and say that maybe the wrong driver is being loaded. Check your boot log and if so, then blacklist it.
