Intel soundcard problems

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Hi,

I am having some trouble with my sound driver on XPS-13 (9315) on a fresh install.

dmesg provides the following errors (repeated many times):

[   70.777719] rt715-sdca sdw:0:3:025d:0714:01: SDW_SCP_BUS_CLOCK_BASE write failed:-61
[   70.777721] rt715-sdca sdw:0:3:025d:0714:01: Slave 6 initialization failed: -61
[   70.781933] rt715-sdca sdw:0:3:025d:0714:01: Slave 6 state check1: UNATTACHED, status was 1

This is the inxi output:

Audio:
  Device-1: Intel Alder Lake Imaging Signal Processor driver: N/A
  Device-2: Intel Alder Lake Smart Sound Audio
    driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl
  API: ALSA v: k6.6.70-1-lts status: kernel-api
  Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.2.7 status: active

This error can lock the computer and when shutting down the above error messages keep repeating in the console output, so I have to longpress the power button to get out of the loop.

Any suggestions?

You added intel i915 as early boot?

This is a virgin installation without any modifications.

Maybe read through this and it may help you get it working. :pray:

Have you tried new kernel 6.12?
I had sound issues on my laptop with an Intel sound card. It could be sof-software. Which version of sof-software are you using?
