Hello @krabs 
Does removing this module help?
sudo modprobe -r -v pcspkr

Thanks. Unfortunately it seems that this made no difference.
Interestingly, when I select ‘Speaker’ from the Port list as shown in the right of this picture, I get no sound at all. If I select ‘Headphones’, the sound outputs from both the laptop speakers and the external speaker or headphones (whatever is connected to the audio jack). I’m puzzled by this.
Could be a wrong pin mapping for your device.
Could you provide what system you are running?

Ok it is a SOF Driver. No idea how to do that there. snd_hda_intel should also work: Intel Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller
So try this:
- stop pulseaudio:
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio
- remove the driver:
sudo modprobe -r -v sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl
- add this driver:
sudo modprobe -v snd_hda_intel
- check if it is loaded:
inxi -Aazy
- and start pulseaudio:
systemctl --user start pulseaudio
Here are models: HD-Audio Codec-Specific Models — The Linux Kernel documentation
Check which codec:
cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec
Sometimes it does not detect the correct one. Therefore it needs to be set like this:
sudo modprobe -v snd_hda_intel model=MODELNAME
This only for temporary testing at this moment. A reboot will reset this.

Instead that is a driver problem have you take a look if “Auto Mute” is enabled in Alsamixer?
You can start ‘alsamixer’ from terminal, choose the right soundcard with ‘F6’ and navigate to the right to the “Auto Mute”-option.
There were similar post in the forum, like this:
or this:
Perhaps it helps.

Thank you! I’ve gone through this, but it still seems to be the same. @kisun may have a point about the auto mute option?
Thanks for this! You may be on to something. From the screenshot below, it looks as though auto-mute is disabled? How do I enable it? Thanks!
Sorry just to answer this as well. I think mine looks correct?
cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec ✔
Codec: Conexant CX8070
Codec: Intel Tigerlake HDMI
Oh ok, that one is really new. Nothing at the documentation. So forget about changing model.

Thanks! I just enabled it. Now it only plays audio through the laptop speakers, but ONLY when something is connected to the headphone jack. Basically, the opposite of what it’s supposed to do. I’ll restart here and go through the settings again.
So it seems Manjaro thinks my headphones are my internal speakers. When I select the internal speakers, I get no audio. So it seems they are the wrong way around. I might just try a fresh re-install. Very odd problem!
It’s likely due to the ALSA path profiles.
You can find the relevant .conf file, make a backup copy of it, and modify the original file to correct the issue:
/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/
The config file of interest might be: analog-output-speaker.conf
You’re going to look for something like “Element Front Speaker” and an option for toggling the device, etc.
It’s convoluted, and the naming scheme is confusing. In fact, it’s different for each computer.
Maybe try this:
For the file analog-output-headphones.conf in the above directory, make a copy of it (for backup).
Then look for the section [Jack Front Headphone]
And change it to appear like this:
[Jack Front Headphone]
required-any = any
state.plugged = yes
state.unplugged = unknown
Then restart the pulseaudio service and/or reboot the computer.
See if you can now manually select between ports, to change which device outputs audio.
(Disable “auto-mute” which you did earlier, since you might not need it now. It’s up to you.)

The problem for me was that my inputs for microphones and speakers weren’t correctly recognized.
Here’s the solution that I referenced that worked on Linux Mint and also later on Manjaro.

Thanks for that. I edited the file (and backed it up), then restarted. It didn’t appear to make any difference. I then decided to go ahead and do a fresh install. The issue is the same. Incidentally, I dual boot this machine with Windows 11 and it works fine there.
I’ll have a read through the possible solution that @francois072 posted and see how that one goes. Thanks a lot for the help with this!
Thanks. I’ll have a read throught his!
The problem is, each laptop/desktop will require a different file / section to edit. That’s what makes it tricky. 
Yes it’s a bit of a headache alright! Would be great if I could get this sorted. I really don’t like Windows 11, but find myself using it most of the time, purely because of this sound issue. I guess I will just need to be patient until I can get it sussed out.
Unfortunately I still haven’t found a solution to this issue. It seems there’s quite a lot of issues with sound in particular on Tiger Lake 11th gen CPUs. I’ve tried some other Linux distros to see if it works but in most cases, the sound doesn’t even work at all. Very frustrating
