No audio from internal speakers on MSI

MasPot · 2025-07-17 15:30:22

I have a MSI Thin 15 B12UC Laptop with Arch + Hyprland installed, I'm using Pipewire and there's no audio coming out from the laptop itself, I do have audio through bluetooth and jack, but not from the laptop, even tho there's audio showing on the pwvucontrol application.

I have tried pulseaudio before, but got the same result

Here's some command outputs I think are helpful:

aplay -lL
