Realtek ALC296VC on Panasonic CF-AX2

Hello everybody
Firstly, I am French and I apologize for my English which is not my first language.
I am not a new arch user, I used it on nano computers (rasperry pi, banana pi, odroid xu4), tower and laptops without ever having these problems.
I recently bought my third Panasonic, a CF-AX2, touchscreen computer with tabette mode that handles all the problems under Windows 10. I installed Arch Linux XFCE4 64bits desktop (the problems are the same on Fedora and Ubuntu).

For informations :

I have no sound from the speaker but it works from the headphone jack.
Pulsaudio is muted at startup despite the setting of alsamixer not to mute.

Re: Realtek ALC296VC on Panasonic CF-AX2

pedrodelaluna, welcome to Arch Linux.  Please do me a favor and create a separate thread for each issue.  That way people will be able to more easily find solutions when doing their research.

As to your English -- it is fine; but I did have to laugh at one little thing.  "Mutate / Mutated" means spontaneous changes in genetic coding that gives rise to variations in traits in living things.  "Mute / Muted" means to silence.
Some here might argue that Pulseaudo is a Mutation, but I am fairly sure that is not what you meant.
