I downloaded lastest fresh ISO with Manjaro KDE 

Sounds back in some release between 5.4.2-1 and 5.4.6-2

Disabling SND_HDA_INTEL_DETECT_DMIC does job IMHO.

The machine seems with the DMIC and we need SOF driver for supporting it.
With the kconfig, it automatically falls back to the SOF driver, and you seem either not enabling it properly or missing the firmware.

Please make sure that you enabled all relevant SOF drivers *and* install the dedicated firmware files (topology files etc you see in the kernel messages).

If the things still don't work properly, we need to address the remaining issues in the upstream side.
