Laptop - HP PROBOOK G7
On manjaro (and actually arch too) audio drivers doesn’t work correctly.
I tried to use sof-firmware (because on Mint 20 it works), and with it micro works, and sound actually goes somewhere (PulseAudio shows audio output on volume meter), but laptop doesn’t output any sound from speakers/headset.
I also tried to use dsp-git driver, with it sound output works cirrectly, but micro isn’t detected at all…
AUR package dsp-git is not a driver
GitHub - bmc0/dsp: An audio processing program with an interactive mode.
and it is usually used only for the PulseAudio Sink (output) not the Sources (inputs)
System Wide DSP (Equalizer)
Please post more information about your system
inxi -Fazy
and more information about the sinks and sources in PulseAudio

but system is trying to use the driver sof-audio-pci so sof-firmware package is installed and recognised
on Mint 20 it works
Mint 20 has a later version of PulseAudio (v13.99)
they are following Ubuntu 20.04 and using the development version of PulseAudio
Manjaro stable branch is still using the official release version of PulseAudio (v13.0) which does not have recent patches added for sof-firmware
PulseAudio v14 was expected to be released months ago but developers still have some problems to resolve - 14.0 · Milestones · PulseAudio / pulseaudio · GitLab
Manjaro team may not release the development to stable branch because it may cause problems for some users, but if your system was working on Mint it should also work on Manjaro if the later
version of PulseAudio is added
I suggest you switch to Testing branch to get the similar PulseAudio version as Mint
sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch testing
and then refresh-mirrors and get updates
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
then reboot system
Oh, it really helped! Thanks a lot!
With PulseAudio v.13.99.2-13-g7f4d7 both microphone and headphones works nice.
