Turnes out i was missing a pacage called "sof-firmware"
insralled it with pacman and everyting came up,
hope this helps
i also added the following lines to a file i created named: /etc/modprobe.d/intel.conf
options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
Hope this might be of help to someone in the future.
