Sound not working after update to Manjaro 21.1

Support Sound

I found a workaround on the Ubuntu forum. Scroll down to the bottom and someone responded with a solution for Arch. Basically, follow these steps:

Edit grub config
sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Add the following within the quotation after GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1

Update grub
sudo update-grub

Reboot

This forces the legacy driver, or in my case, forces the laptop internal audio to be default, rather than the HDMI.

Here’s the link to the thread where I found that solution:
