I think we have tried what we could to work around this issue. There is obviously something wrong with the kernel which has to get fixed. Hi Greg and Lars, >From my understanding there are fundamental changes regarding the audio drivers. The sound should (and has to) work out-of-the-box without any user interactions. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.10-Sound-Improvements As you can see in the post below, other users are facing exactly the same issue. It would be great if this could be solved as soon as possible, maybe in 5.10.5 ? https://forum.manjaro.org/t/issue-after-kernel-5-10-update-speakers-not-working-on-laptop/45496 Regards, Christian
