Hello to all!
First time user at the forum and very newbie at using Linux, I need assistance in configuring my old yet reliable laptop, an HP Probook 655 G1, built and sold in 2014, which I installed Manjaro last week, with several issues at first boot.
This current issue, is about the soundcard chip, an IDT High Definition Audio 92HD81B1X that is handled as a generic device, which unfortunately does not provide sound of any kind.
I have been manually (and haphazardly) applying solutions, with varying degrees of success, yet it seems that I’ve borked the audio for good after blindly installing both Pipewire and PulseAudio.
Here is the output of inxi:
