How to install Realtek audio driver?

Support Sound
1

Hello, I’m still relatively new to the Linux world, I recently migrated from Ubuntu to Manjaro and I need help with drivers.
Well, first let’s understand my problem, I use a dual boot with Windows, and I’ve always had the problem of my front audio not working. In Windows I managed to solve it by installing the Realtek drivers that I found on the Intel website, but how can I do this in Manjaro?

If audio to rear jack(s) of motherboard are working, system probably has correct Linux audio drivers installed

Most Realtek onboard audio devices on desktop systems use ALSA module snd_hda_intel

Loaded modules identification

Run lspci -k -nn -d ::0403 to identify the modules in use for PCI devices.

Run cat /proc/asound/cards to get the list of your sound cards with their corresponding indexes (card numbers).
