Do you have sof-firmware installed?
If not can you check if installing that solves the issue with audio?

sof-firmware has already been installed.

Hey @Devalyus
Have you found a solution for the issues?
I have Victus and faced these issues you mentioned, not found a workaround :frowning:

Hello!
Unfortunately I have other issues with Manjaro ( including bluetooth, screen flickering ). That’s why I switched to another distro. Pop_os is working great so far :slight_smile:

Hi
I came back to Manjaro. (I have not issue with Pop!_os except for hibernation). Actually all the issues are gone with kernel 6.1 which is very cool. Everything is working smoothly.
