[SOLVED]No audio on AMD based Asus Zenbook

I get no audio at all, I tried switching the cards using alsamixer and made sure that the cards arent muted below I will include some info:

aplay -l results:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC294 Analog [ALC294 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

lspci | grep -i audio results
04:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 1637
04:00.5 Multimedia controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Raven/Raven2/FireFlight/Renoir Audio Processor (rev 01)
04:00.6 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller

How should I remedy this? I really want to use arch so if I can fix this It will become my daily driver

alsamixer doesn't switch cards. Does

speaker-test -Dhw:1 -c2

not work? And if not what's the output of

amixer -c1

If it does work, you'll want to either switch your default ALSA device: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanc … sound_card or if you want to use an audio mixer with the ability to switch between devices install pulseaudio or pipewire and configure the correct default device there.

Okay so the audio seems to working now; I reintalled pulseaudio and added the package pulseaudio-alsa and all seems to be working now! Thanks for the help !!

Great, please mark as [SOLVED] by adding that to the title (you might have to shorten it a bit though)
