Hello good night.
I want to ask for some suggestions to fix the sound that is not there or maybe even not working on my laptop. I’ve followed some suggestions and tutorials from various people and sources but it’s still not working. maybe i missed something? I beg you from this post I find answers to the problems that occur. thank you.

this is the output, is there a mistake?
You have 2 sound devices detected.
Being lazy why research them, you tell us which one you want sound out of please.
if you install pavucontrol and execute
pavucontrol
and go the far right ConfigurationTAB your options are:
disable HDMI often its the top one
to laptop speakers, often the bottom one, choose Analog stereo duplux
or
for top one, choose some kind of digital surround sound out and
turn off analog sound
the go to Output Devices TAB
if the volume slider is faint you need to unmute by clicking the mute/unmute button at top, third from the right.
You can also adjust volumes with media players like vlc
good luck
thnks u i will try this
Check if package pulseaudio-alsa
is installed
Manjaro i3 can have a problem when installing PulseAudio that additional package pulseaudio-alsa
is not installed (a recommended optional dependency)
The package creates the ALSA configuration for PulseAudio to be default instead of a specific hardware device
If the package is installed and audio is not working, please post more information

this is the output when i run it amixer -c1
but when I run pacmd dump
the output that comes out is
Neither PulseAudio daemon is running, nor is it running as a session daemon.
