The sound is playing from my speakers and headphones, In Linux Mint I used HDAjackretask to fix this issue but it doesn’t appear to be available for Arch.
Have you check in alsamixer if “Auto-Mute Mode” is enabled? By the way, hdajackretask is in the alsa-tools package.
There is no “Auto-Mute Mode” listed in alsamixer.
Tried to install alsa-tools via Pamac but got errors.

When you opened it, did you press F6 and select the right card?
Try running sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5, and then sudo pacman -Syu.
Got this command from a previous manjaro post sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu and it fixed the database errors.
Also ran sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
