Macbook Pro 2017 13" , does not have sound after fresh install. I tried use pipewire after that it was the same, and removed it.
after a bunch of trying to re-install pulseaudio the sound button at the right bottom corner started seem as
also tried
options snd_hda_intel model=CS4206
and some model variations including mac-auto
also this,
any help would be much appreciated thank you already
Did it not work with pipewire ?
Only a handful members has ever tried running Manjaro on Apple hardware.
The common outcome is a growing frustration with certain hardware functining badly or not at all.
Please see â Laptop/Apple - ArchWiki
While some very old hardware seem to work - since 2017 almost none seem to be workable - even so only with a major effort on the user side.
I have a similiar system - I tried - it was simply not worth the effort - unless of course - it is an intellectual challenge that must be completed - in that case - carry on 
A note - myself - perhaps others - MacBook Pro 13" 2017 - latest support macOS is Ventura.
Hi, thank you for your answer Frede! It seems like it would be challenging for me but i will carry on -at least for now- haha!
No it was the same in pipewire, but maybe I can give it another try?
I hope I would edit here with [SOLVED], thank you for your answer again!
We use the checkbox left of the reply button to mark an issue solved - if you do not see it - click the three dots to expand.
Out of curiosity I had to see the state of Manjaro the macbook using the a custom ISO on Manjaro unstable branch.
The audio was recognized - I opened the Plasma test audio app - to verify if it was indeed functional. I didnât have any intention of pushing Manjaro onto it - my wife uses the laptop - so not to upset her - it is what it is.
It was actually better than I remembered - still some tweaking is required.
I got these data out using the live ISO - perhaps they can be of use to deduce how to make your audio work - have fun

Modprobe model options in kernel for Cirrus Logic CS4206/4207 CS4208 are not likely to work for CS8409 audio codec and should be removed
Macbook Pro 2017 13" would be either MacbookPro 14,1 or MacbookPro 14,2
Both models have the same onboard audio device (Cirrus Logic CS8409) linux-hardware.org - pci:8086-9d71-8086-7270
The snd_hda_macbookpro driver has been confirmed to work in a previous topic from 2022
Macbook 14 audio - #46 by ishaan2479
Macbookpro users have been sharing information on another github page but it has not been updated for a few years
MacBookPro14,1: partially working
With the MacBookPro14,1 the internal audio output is working, however the internal audio input is not working.For the rest of the MacBook Pro models the audio via HDMI or any USB-connected audio device is working, so at least they can act as a workaround until internal audio is working.
