Hello
Just installed Manjaro on my Macbook 14,1 yesterday, with the same issues concerning audio and bluetooth.
The only solution that I have found for the sound, that might work is this: GitHub - davidjo/snd_hda_macbookpro: Kernel audio driver for Macs with 8409 HDA chip + MAX98706/SSM3515 amps
I am at work right now, so haven’t had a chance to try it out yet. Will let you know how it works out.
I couldn’t get it working for Manjaro unfortunately, but did manage to install the driver on Linux Mint and sound does work.
When trying to install it on Manjaro it says I don’t have the headers I need. Haven’t been able to figure out what exactly it means yet, but assume it is something with the kernel version.
I will try to see if I can get it to work and keep you updated.
may you post the output of ‘uname -a’ from your manjaro to understand what kernel you are using and it’s far better to give us information to help .
this is mandatory 
Welcome to Manjaro!
to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
P.S. If you want to notify me that you did provide this information, please 
this message and I’ll come back and have another look.
P.P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which exact CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time
Hi Olli
Thank you very much for taking the time to help out
So I am back on Manjaro now - profile is updated with relevant info and the outputs of uname -r and inxi can be found in the end of the post.
So what I have done is that I tried to install the driver as described here on Linux Mint 20.3. It worked as well as the author described, but at least now I know that it can work.
On Manjaro I have installed the 5.4 kernel, chosen it from the GRUB menu and installed the headers for 5.4.
Now when I try to install the driver I get this output:
linux kernel headers not found in /usr/src:
Debian (eg Ubuntu): /usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.173-1-MANJARO
Fedora: /usr/src/kernels/5.4.173-1-MANJARO
assuming the linux kernel headers package is not installed
please install the appropriate linux kernel headers package:
sudo apt install linux-headers-MANJARO
When looking the /usr/src it is empty, so I guess that is why the script will not install it. Then the problem is, where are the header files located in Manjaro? Further should the install script be changed to reflect the new location? Or can we create a symlink to the correct location from /usr/src? Or I am missing something very basic?
Hope you can help out

may you post the output of ‘hwinfo --sound’ and is there a reason not to update to the latest kernel ?
Oh, sorry, I forgot to put in the link to the driver on github.
It is here: GitHub - davidjo/snd_hda_macbookpro: Kernel audio driver for Macs with 8409 HDA chip + MAX98706/SSM3515 amps
And the driver doesn’t work in kernels later than 5.5 or possibly 5.6. But since the 5.4 had a LTS, I went for that. If you cna make it work on 5.16 I am totally up for that as well haha.

please post the output of ‘sudo dmesg | grep snd’ and may you start a terminal and run alsamixer. what is the output ?

And the alsamixer shows the same as yours, but when I try to add the image of alsamixer it lets me know I cannot integrate media 
are you sure at alsamixer, please open it again and press “m”-key. does it change to “mm” (muted) or was it muted ? make sure that there is no “mm” for muting at alsamixer.
did you install “pavucontrol” from the software-center?
It does change to ‘mm’ when pressing the m-key, and it was not muted before.
I have not installed pavucontrol. Should I install it ?
yes, please install it and make sure that alsamixer doesn’t mute the output. if you’ve installed pavucontrol we’ll check this. seems your driver is working because it accepts changes at alsamixer but propably your output-device isn’t set properly. this can be adjusted with pavucontrol.
there is also some weird, alsa and pipewire is active. some had trouble but others didn’t.
Should it be the pavucontrol or pavucontrol-qt package ?
there should be a “pavucontrol” at the control center. this should be the preferred. you’re running kde, that should also work with qt but if there is a simple “pavucontrol” then try this first.
It is installed
may you start it ? give me a second.
if you started pavucontrol, please open the configuration and check what outputs are avaiable.
okay that should be working as long as you use the internal speakers or the headphone-jack.
what is set at the output-devices ?
