Hey

I have no idea why sound card in your device is playing with you.
Perhaps when you open VLC, you should try to find a tab called 'Audio' then 'Audio Device' and then choose right audio output and then the sound should play, you haven't mentioned if you tried that

Under VLC I already have selected ‘‘HDA Intel PCH’’ for sound device, but the Plasma panels doesn’t show any output devices, on Phonon i see this device and have preferred to top as what my snap says. But still muted at all somewhy.

What do alsamixer and (if you use pulseaudio) pavucontrol show?

Yeah alsamixer could be another bet...
If you can look at this picture

The 00 in green box just above Master 41 means that it is not muted, mm is silence.

You can change it by pressing m button and choose each ones with -> <- keys. I am pretty sure you know this already hahah. Sorry i am being silly at the moment.

I don’t see this but nothing in my AlsaMixer, does this imply why my laptop has been muted?

When in alsamixer, press F6 and select HDA intel.

When you press F6, is there no other option?

Also, what does pressing 'Enter' or the Up arrow key do, when S/PDIF is selected?

Both do nothing for me as shown in the below screenshots.

So does sound not work for you only on Artix, or on every distro you've tried? Does it work, if you use, say an Ubuntu live boot?
