Any help would be appreciated.

do you have installed sof-firmware, if not, install it, reboot and test

Make sure you see the speaker in the system tray if you just installed the Manjaro 21.3.0 Rauh. If not, enable itand make it always shown in the system config.
I installed the new Rauh, on a new computer, and that was the problem.

you mean i have to upgrade/downgrade my kernel?
do i need to do more or its enough?

since you alredy running on pipewire and have sof-firmware installed… go to system settings/ kernel and install the 5.18.5-1 and the 5.10 LTS, reboot and select them in the grub menu and try with both of them…

i installed both kernels and select them with grub.
i tried on each of them but problem still remains.

Can you post the output of alsamixer on console ?

Are you running pulseaudio or pipewire ?
If the first one, then pacmd list-sinks (on console).

i use pipwire.

ok, right now i have no sound even on my wireless headphone.

Hi together,
I have a similar issue since some days.
When I switch on my Bluetooth headset the sound works.
Only with the laptop I see the microphone, but no speakers in the task bar. (Lenovo Yoga 720-13IKB)
I am running Manjaro KDE Plasma on it since years without this issue.

Already tried changing the Kernel (5.18.5-1, 5.15.48-1 and 5.10.123-1) without success.

Operating System: Manjaro Linux

ok i found solution from here.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/955065/no-sound-on-ubuntu-windows-dual-boot
i installed manjaro alongside windows 11 and thats cause the problem.
if you have same issue i wish this helps you.

Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately it doesn’t solve my issue.
I also have a dual boot, but didn’t boot into Windows since more than a month.
Now I tried the proposed solutions without success.
Also reinstalling alsa pulseaudio didn’t change anything.
