Fresh Garuda install, no audio

Just installed Garuda Linux, but I can’t seem to get audio to work – neither on front panel, back, nor in one of my monitors. I tried switching between different audio systems (ALSA, Pipewire, Pulseaudio), but I couldn’t get it to work

Yes. As I said, I tried switching between audio systems, setting snd_hda_intel detection, installing sof-firmware etc. Nothing worked. That, or I’m doing something wrong

Okay, so I “fixed” it by plugging headphones into motherboard jack instead of front panel

I probably should check physical front panel connections…
