Hi all.
I’m on an ASUS laptop, Manjaro dual booting with Windows 10. The external speakers work fine in Windows but no sound comes out in Manjaro. I do get audio when I plug in headphones. I actually had this same issue in Ubuntu as well. (Oddly, speaker sound worked when live-booting Ubuntu from USB, but not once I installed it …)
I’ve tried going into Alsamixer - the default settings didn’t show any outputs besides master volume but I switched to “HDA Intel PCH” and that shows speakers, internal mic and headphones. I’ve confirmed that the master volume and speakers aren’t muted. Resetting alsa and pulseaudio doesn’t help.
In pavucontrol it looks as if sound is playing from the speakers but again no actual audio comes out. Again made sure speakers weren’t muted, headphones still fine.
Also tried changing kernels to see if that would help any because I’d seen a few mentions of that helping others. Didn’t help.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong/missing? Thank you in advance!
