No sound -Fresh Manjaro install - Intel G630 desktop

I have done a fresh install of Manjaro KDE Plasma yesterday on my desktop with a intel g630 processor on an intel h61 motherboard. I am getting no sound through my headphones.

I have installed sof-firmware, checked alsamixer for mute option, installed pulseaudio, but still no sound.

I have also observed that i get no sound also with the live usb. Could this be a driver issue. the sound card is detected though default:0 HDA Intel PCH in alsamixer but no sound.
