Sorry for the late reply but help is really appreciated!

The built-in speakers and airpods can not use microphones when talk to other online, though I can hear the sound from others. Several outputs:

I did sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire and reboot before, but still not working. And ideas? Thank you so much!

Please do not create duplicate topics, see Forum Rules - Manjaro

How did you connected them? Consider to go trough this

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth_headset

Also, since you have a

You might find useful information here Razer Blade - ArchWiki

I connected them with Bluetooth. I went though what you sent here, but it seems that there is no specific related trouble shooting with my problems: the output sounds worked well, but there is no input. The ArchWiki for Razer Blade seems a little bit outdated… Any specific instruction or debugging here? Thank you! @brahma @bogdancovaciu

Also, except the airpods, the built-in input mic is also malfunctioning.

you could try installing sof-firmware:
sudo pacman -S sof-firmware
reboot

still not working… I am not sure if this helped but when I tested the mic in zoom, there will be very quick and short increase in the input level but then there is nothing happened.

so install the 5.18 kernel from system settings/kernel, reboot, select it, and try with it

I will try this. Thanks!

just to double check, It is the experimental version, correct?

yes the 5.18rc experimental

still not working for Kernel: 5.18.0-1-MANJARO

Also I am not sure why but the screen just blacked out and I could reboot it after a while

probably because of the kernel, so reboot, select the 5.17, then uninstall the 5.18 and go to system settings/ audio on under recording devices change the profile to pro audio, click apply and test it… if it doesnt work select the profile pro audio also under playback devices, click apply and test

Do you mean this page?

damn, my mistake, i thought you are running KDE… so try going to all of audio settings and check if there is something similar …

That is somewhat the only setting that I found for audio :frowning: (not sure why there are lots of things here) I can also change to KDE though

and whats under configuration?
