Not sure why but it seems as though my audio doesn’t seem to be working. I was on Cachyos but it was happening there so decided to try to switch to Endeavouros (was interested in the OS so decided to switch).
I’m on a i3-8100T and using Pipewire with KDE. Only a dummy output seems to be visible. It seems as though it’s even affected live ISOs as they can’t find outputs or inputs either. I’m not sure what’s going on. Can anyone help me figure out and remedy this issue?
Welcome to the community @leapofdoubt 
If I had to guess, I’d suspect the Linux kernel does not include support for your sound hardware. That seems strange though, as your i3-8100T isn’t exactly new (2018), which is where those issues might typically arise.
Let’s have a good look at your hardware and boot log. Can you please share the links these commands generate, with us.
Hardware information:
inxi -Fxxc0z | eos-sendlog
Boot log:
journalctl -k -b -0 | eos-sendlog
Are you able to confirm whether the audio has ever worked (like under Windows)? I ask, just in case this might be a 2nd hand device.
here’s what that returned
[niernetwork@lain ~]$ inxi -Fxxc0z | eos-sendlog
==> ‘curl’ failed with code 22.
==> Info: 0x0 failed, trying dpaste …
[niernetwork@lain ~]$ journalctl -k -b -0 | eos-sendlog
==> ‘curl’ failed with code 22.
==> Info: 0x0 failed, trying dpaste …
It’s worked in the past before i switched. It worked when i was on CachyOS but after a reboot it just suddenly stopped working.

That seems to be where the issue presents in the logs.
Can you check your BIOS to confirm the audio codec hasn’t been disabled?
You might also try updating the BIOS/UEFI. This is sometimes able to pull a BIOS update. If you try this, take care to not interrupt this process, and allow it to complete fully:
fwupdmgr refresh
fwupdmgr update
Lastly, there is a kernel parameter that’s attempting to be set, but failing:
Apr 06 21:24:43 lain kernel: snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: dmic_detect option is deprecated, pass snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 option instead
We could try addressing that. Are you using grub, or systemd-boot?
Seems like it isn’t disabled at least from what I can tell onboard audio is enabled.
here’s what the fwupdmgr commands returned, not sure if that’s good or not.
\[niernetwork@lain \~\]$ fwupdmgr refresh
fwupdmgr update
Metadata is up to date; use --force to refresh again.

Yes I’m using grub I think.
