Fresh install Gnome 21.07 no sound with Realtek ALC1220

I seem to be having issues with sound only with the onboard ALC1220. Sound coming from all other sources seem to be working fine. I am not sure what else to check or if its a kernel issue.

Update 1:
So I found the issue it seems like my nvidia audio card was clashing with my on board sound.

/proc/asound/modules returned

0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_hda_intel
2 snd_usb_audio
3 snd_usb_audio
4 snd_usb_audio
5 snd_usb_audio

after editing/creating /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
added the line:

options snd_hda_intel enable=1,0

took a guess with which one to enable and disable

and that seems to have sorted the issue but removed the option to select output via HDMI…

Welcome to the forum! :wave:

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Highlight it and use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    text
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    text
    </pre></code>

Please edit your post accordingly.

Partial data posted from inxi appears to have omitted audio card:1

But onboard audio is shown as detected in alsa-info

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC1220 Analog [ALC1220 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

ALSA control for front headphone jack is shown as muted

Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
  Capabilities: pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback [off]
  Front Right: Playback [off]

use this command to unmute it

amixer --card=0 sset Headphone unmute

Audio cards available in ALSA can be checked by name:

cat /proc/asound/cards

My problem actually started again after booting back into manjaro from windows today and sound stopped working.
