No sound and brightness change

When i installed arch linux (my frnd guided me) on my Acer Nitro 5 laptop
it has nvidia (being a beginner i just know its more complicated )

I had issues like
-No wifi Option (UI)
-No sound
-No Change in brightness when i change Brightness

I am only able to fix WiFi one.  Other two are still to be fixed
In sound , Chatgpt tells me snd_hda_intel internal driver is not configured or getting recognised
There is no sound even after struggling for hours.

Please help!

This can help you to fix sound: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sound_system
(I recommend to go with pipewire)

For backlight there are different ways to go. If you have troubles with screen backlight: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Backlight
If keyboard backlight, so sometimes ACPI won't see it without specific driver (dkms or regular). This can help too https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboard_backlight
I had troubles with kb backlight on my Dream Machines laptop because of no backlight driver, which helps system see leds for keyboard. For each laptop there are different hardware for backlight, so different drivers. You can try search or just ask for it in Acer support. My vendor sent me tutor to compile it myself, but i found dkms version (if your backlight is similar to Tuxedo/Clevo hardware, you can try this too):

local/tuxedo-drivers-dkms 4.6.3-1
    TUXEDO Computers kernel module drivers for keyboard, keyboard backlight & general hardware I/O the SysFS interface

There also can be problem with your BIOS. Check for backlight in here.
