Looks like the hardware hasn't been picked up. Can you run asahi-diagnose and attach the output?

Can you please go to /usr/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/99-asahi.conf, find the entry that matches on AppleJ414HPAI, set hide-parent = false, run systemctl restart --user wireplumber, then post the output of:

Bonus:

1. If I mute volume and I try to raise up it stay mute until I un-mute with the mute key.
2. I have volume up/down keys swapped.

Unmasked node:

{
     	matches = [
            { api.alsa.path = "hw:AppleJ414HPAI,0" }
        ]
        actions = {

            }
	}
}

[chadmed]

You unhid the wrong node. You need to unhide AppleJ414HPAI, not AppleJ414. The difference matters.

Also, it's journalctl --user -u wireplumber. The extra -- was a typo sorry

[luca-trigili]

I updated my previous comment, thanks in advance for your time.

[chadmed]

Hmm, your dmesg shows that AOP has been probed, but nothing's happened. What is the output of arecord -l?

Can you delete ~/.local/state/wireplumber and restart wireplumber again using systemctl restart --user wireplumber?

Then post the outputs of:
wpctl status
pw-cli i all
journalctl --user -u wireplumber
jourlanctl --user -u pipewire
again please? This time in a separate comment.

I'm trying to see if this is something to do with the ALSA UCM files not being parsed correctly
