Configuring pulseaudio/manjaro-pulse

Support Sound
1

I recently reinstall my older brother’s sound system (Technics SA-EH780) and since I’ve been using HQ audio files for almost a year I decided to set up my pulseaudio configuration appropriately to get the most out of them. Although I followed a lot of setups, most of them end up with me not having any audio outputs or inputs. Can anyone link a tutorial for pulseaudio on manjaro or manjaro-pulse?

(configuration (from hwinfo):
