Hello everybody,
I got an Asus laptop that sounds very good on paper, the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo UX582 which has an intel CPU and an nvidia GPU…
But as I expected I’m having many trouble installing linux and I tried many distros…
As always, Manjaro (Gnome edition in this case) is the one that get me closer to a fully working laptop.
I only had to edit grub at boot screen and add ibt=off
in order to boot correctly.
While I still have some issues, the major one is the fact I do not have any sound at all…
I found some posts in the internet stating to boot into the bios before booting to linux but that doesn’t fix the problem in my case.
Here are some (useful?) output related to the sound:

I wonder if it’s not related to the hybrid graphics (which BTW I’m not sure if it’s working correctly since (according to Gnome Settings/About) I have the following graphics: Mesa Intel® Graphics (ADL GT2)
Can anyone help figure out how to fix that?
Before asking here, I tried to run Manjaro in a VM in windows… But please… I don’t want to go that way…
