I recently installed manjaro, but just realized my sound is not working. A list of devices shows up when typing sudo aplay -l, but nothing works. I have tried rebooting, logging out, using with and without headphones, but nothing works. Also, nothing shows up when I try to use any of the volume buttons.
For reference, I am using a Dell XPS 13.
Also, when trying to configure sound in the system settings, it does not appear to recognize any sound device, input or output.
when trying to run pulseaudio, I get the following error:
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).
E: [pulseaudio] module-jackdbus-detect.c: Unable to contact D-Bus session bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Using X11 for dbus-daemon autolaunch was disabled at compile time, set your DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS instead

Dell have produced a number of different versions of XPS 13 laptops
please post response to
inxi -Fxxz
sudo is not needed to get a list of ALSA audio devices
please post response to
aplay -l
pulseaudio should not be run with sudo either - What is wrong with system mode?
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root
Pulseaudio should be started automatically by systemd pulseaudio.service when system is booted
please post response to
systemctl --user --no-pager -l status pulseaudio.{socket,service}

I am aware that pulseaudio should not be run as root, however I get permission denied when I don’t use sudo

After some more testing, I have managed to narrow down the issue. I am able to change the volume with alsamixer, and can then hear audio with and without headphones. However, I am unable to change the volume using the buttons on my keyboard.
I am not sure of the packages in gnome
but I think you need package gnome-settings for gsd-media-keys
