No sound devices after installing 5.15

My laptop’s install of 5.14 Manjaro wouldn’t boot after I installed the latest updates for it throught the package manager, so I had to reinstall Manjaro. After doing so, I downloaded and installed 5.15. After doing this however, I had no audio, not from my laptop’s speakers nor my headphones. I checked the volume mixer, and Manjaro wasn’t recognizing any of my audio devices.

How do I get Manjaro to recognize my audio devices?

You should consider updating system BIOS
