Manjaro dual boot no sound

I have dual booted Manjaro KDE with Windows and it doesn’t provide sound while everything is okay on Windows.

I have already tried adding snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 to /etc/default/grub but it didn’t help.
For some reason, there’s beeping sound when I try to search a word on a page which it can’t find. Not sure if it’s relatable though.

Welcome here, @h1kiga,

Have you tried the following command in a terminal window:

rm ~/.config/pulse/*.tdb ~/.config/pulse/cookie

Reboot afterwards.

Still no sound. Also, I opened alsamixer and it says “This sound device doesn’t have any controls” and I should select another sound card to see some.

Sound Server-3: PulseAudio v: 15.0 running: yes 
  Sound Server-4: PipeWire v: 0.3.37 running: yes 

I think it should be exclusively PulseAudio or PipeWire, could be similar problem as in this thread

The modprobe option snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 was deprecated when kernel v5.7 was released

Bad audio quality from earphones - Hardware - Manjaro Linux Forum

snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: dmic_detect option is deprecated, pass snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 option instead

But disabling the dmic might no longer be necessary
Kernel v5.14 has new Sound Open Firmware drivers that should now support the internal dmic

I suggest:

  1. Edit /etc/default/grub and remove snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0

  2. Use Manjaro Settings Manager > Kernel (manjaro-settings-manager -m msm_kernel)
    Click the button for Linux 5.14 to Install newer kernel

    OR use this terminal command – sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux514

    (installing kernel will update GRUB and remove the modprobe option in step 1)

  3. Reboot system to load new kernel

  4. see this post for latest information on managing incompatible sound servers

If audio is still not working as intended, please post more ALSA information

sudo alsa-info.sh --upload

Hi Dark City,
I can confirm, that it sounds similar.
Kind regards
sk

As i have a very similar problem and am already running on 5.14.7.2:

There´s no snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 in my /etc/default/grub.

My alsa-info output is

cat: '/sys/module/snd_soc_skl_hda_dsp/parameters/*': No such file or directory

Please inform the person helping you.

I’ve updated the kernel but it seems like it’s still using the old driver. Also, I’ve disabled pipewire and after all of those steps, I did a reboot. Still hears nothing :frowning:
