Hi there,
Using Manjaro-i3wm and I have 2 issues with a USB-C Headset.
Cannot send Audio to the Earphones
I can see that the device is detected and it shows in Alsamixer, but I cannot get the audio via the earphones.
dmesg output

It is also available in alsamixer and I if i use the Volume controls on the headset the volume is going up and down for the device. (in alsamixer)
Any thoughts, I’m going to assume it is something so simple, I’ll need to hang my head in shame, but I’ve been reading the Arch wiki on alsa also and cannot find what I need.
The second issue, is that teh MIC on the USB headset does not appear to be available, if there is a quick answer to that great, if not I’ll keep digging.
Thanks in advance, if I’ve missed any information that would be helpful let me know.
Kindest Regards
Chris
