how to fix dummy output, is it the driver issue or realtek chip is defected. i was using laptop normally and a popup for headphone connection, but i didn’t connected any headphone. also headphone is not detecting now. Any solution to reset drivers?
I have dual boot with window 10.
Welcome to Manjaro forum @LeamonArch
Dummy output is created when there is no other audio device available for audio playback

No analog profiles shown for playback to speakers or headphones, only HDMI profiles
I suggest installing latest LTS kernel v6.6 using either Manjaro Settings Manager GUI or
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux66
If pactl list cards still does not show analog profiles with later kernel, get more information about audio device detected in ALSA
sudo alsa-info.sh --with-dmesg --upload
I am using kernal 6.6 lts. And i also have windows 10 dual boot. sound is not working in windows too… is that means the realtek chip got damaged? is there any way to check it… like using live bootable linux or something?
lspci -k gave this:
00:0e.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Celeron/Pentium Silver Processor High Definition Audio (rev 03)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Celeron/Pentium Silver Processor High Definition Audio
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_skl, snd_soc_avs, snd_sof_pci_intel_apl
realtek is not there is that a problem?
Many systems have 2 separate audio devices for HDMI and Analog audio
But this system only has one device for HDMI and Analog audio: Realtek ALC256
If audio device is working normally ALSA should detect playbck and capture devices:
