How do I install Realtek High Definition Audio Sound Drivers?
First, you run:
mhwd -lh -d --pci
look for your audio device
then run:
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 // replace 0300 with the pci number of the audio device
or
sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300 // replace 0300 with the pci number of the audio deviceIf you need help, just paste the output of:
mhwd -lh -d --pci
here
Realtek onboard audio devices usually use Linux driver snd_hda_intel and additional drivers are not required
use this command to see a list of audio devices including the driver in use

Hey, it seems to me, you could help me with similar problem. It’s connected to realtek driver.
If i can’t install in on Manjaro, how can i reassign rear jacks? Now speakers and headphones connected to rear jacks. But only speakers do work. Could you help please? Here are commands, mentioned above
PS wanted to just attach a .html, got “not auth file type”, so… i’m sorry for that log view… didn’t want that…
