I have a problem with my Manjaro Linux. I have no sound. I have tried everything (I have installed sof-firmware, unmuted soundcard, rebooted alsa). What should I do?

Here is the output of the inxi:

System: Host: cWillNeverDie Kernel: 5.13.19-2-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.22.5 Distro: Manjaro Linux Machine: Type: Desktop Mobo: Micro-Star model: MAG Z490 TOMAHAWK (MS-7C80) v: 1.0 serial: <superuser required> UEFI: American Megatrends v: 1.80 date: 04/19/2021 Audio: Device-1: Intel driver: snd_hda_intel Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.13.19-2-MANJARO running: yes Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 15.0 running: yes Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.38 running: yes

Try to open terminal and run aplay -l. You'll get something like:

card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC236 Analog [ALC236 Analog]

Take notes each of card numbers and device numbers. For above example: card number 1 and device number 0.

Then run speaker-test -D hw:CardNumb,DeviceNumb -c 2. For above example become:

speaker -D hw:1,0 -c 2

If you get an error mentioning device busy, close all current active windows, wait a moment and run again. Do this for all cards and devices shown from aplay -l.

Take note which card and device that give you a sound.

After that, find on how to create .asoundrc on the internet.

Hope this give a clue how to debug your sound card.

Sorry if this reply is too late. I was having the same problem, tried every input I could find, and nothing worked. Until...

Go to:

  • audio system settings

  • playback devices

  • change to: analog stereo duplex

That fixed it for me, fwiw.

I have the same issue whenever my laptop comes out of sleep mode.

The following workaround works for me:

  • unplug Headset (if there is any)
  • switch sound output to another Device (e.g. from monitor to internal speaker)

Then everything works again for me

For proper analysis of the problem have a look into the answer by oprizal
