I have a brand new XPS17 that has installed Manjaro KDE minimal and then I have added other software to it. All is good except that the sound device does not work I have tried searching on the web until my fingers bleed, tried many solutions proposed on the web to no avail and I am hoping one of you can help. The information about the system is below. Any help would be appreciated.
