Re: Sound hardware not showing in arch

check aplay -l first, if it says "no soundcards found," you probably just need the sound open firmware, https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … -firmware/, https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/alsa-ucm-conf/, If the card does show up there, check wpctl status to see if your Sink is actually being created but just muted...

Please always remember to mark the thread as solved (Edit your first post "title" and add [SOLVED]) when your issue is actually resolved.
Glad it is working now
