Did anyone manage to get suspend to work?
Thanks.
In general, I put Manjaro gnome. Updated to kernel 5.19
command terminal:
sudo pacman -S linux519
The sound didn’t work. But then I remembered. What you need to download this and everything will work after restarting the sound.
So the sound seems to “work” with kernel 5.19.
Two ways to set it up:
- If you go in alsamixer, press F6, switch to the right audio card, slide everything up, the sound now works, but is quiet.
- Install the alsa_restore from the above github repository. The sound now works, but is still quiet.
What you can do to boost the sound level by 53% is one of the following (I’m on manjaro gnome)
- go to the package manager and install one of the
pulseaudio volume controlpackages. Then open it up, and pull the volume slider all the way to the right for a resulting 153% - Run the following commands:
pacmd list-sinks
Then you have to choose the right index, in my case it was0, then run:
pacmd set-sink-volume 0 100000
this also boosts the volume up to 153%.
You can try boosting it more by setting numbers higher than 100000. I tried this, and the sound became distorted at higher values. So I don’t recommend this.
After playing a few videos with this change, the speakers are useable on linux in my opinion.
So now the last thing that is left is suspend… 
I haven’t tried on manjaro but shouldn’t matter.
I’m on EndeavourOS and it is enough to go to alsamixer → F6 to switch to sof-essx8336 → Unmute the first slider “Headphone” by pressing “m” and pull it up to max. A normal youtube video is loud enough that I have the system volume via the buttons only at about 50% without any distortion
In Manjaro with kernel 6.0 the sound works if you use PipeWire and boost the sound through alsamixer

Suspend finally works now! Tested on kernel 6.3.9 on EndeavourOS with Gnome Wayland.
Sometimes my system freezes, though I’m not sure if it’s related.
