It would really help if you post complete inxi -Faz.
Otherwise I can't really suggest anything else other than trying pulseaudio or trying different kernels.

Spending a little time searching on how to post for help correctly is a plus. Demonstrating that you understand it will get you a lot of help.

this is of no help to me, or anyone. if you want me to do something simply say it or post a link. i'm aware that when i put stuff in forums it never comes out right. so my solution is simply avoid forums. however i've looked for a solution to this problem, i've found that i'm not the only one with it, but not a proper solution.

i honestly don't know what you want me to do. search how to post to forums? how to format posts? which part specifically to copy/paste?

im not sure i'm doing anything right! i found an issue that wasn't addressed. so, i brought it up. you guys can do what ever you like with that. help is appreciated, but ambiguous directions about searching the internet to no avail for additional problems and failures on my part is exactly what brought me here to begin with!

Alsa & Pipewire are both up & running. I’d suggest you use whatever utility your imagination desires to raise the volume. Just that; raise the volume.

Volume is max on every facet of control I have, Still have no audio. If I reboot and go in to windows or Ubuntu audio works.

So, it's not hardware.

It's something do with a "driver conflict"
But I can't locate the pulseaudio file I had to edit in Ubuntu and Mint (same file in that video) which I had assumed would have an equivalent .conf in Garuda... I just can't "locate " it.

Install pulseaudio then

sudo pacman -S pulseaudio-support pulseaudio-bluetooth

And reboot

Yes! that did it! I have sound!
I used that konsole command and installed pulseaudio, I then had to follow the path and .conf edit from the video above for the ubuntu fix.
then reboot.
from start-up and log in sound worked!
Thanks much!
