Need to make sure it’s using the right sound card.
Edit: Mine shows output as line out.
How to do it?
I think in alsa?
When I open alsamixer it looks like this.
Then I selected the sound card by pressing F6, and it looks like this.
is this correct? because when you open alsamixer it always looks like picture number 1 and you have to press F6 to select it
Yes i think so. What does this show?
cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_hda_intel
Maybe lets try
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
add
options snd_hda_intel index=0
Save the file
ctrl +x
Then reboot
Still no sound is produced
Okay well for now i guess remove that file. Also did you check if sof-firmware was installed and also sof-firmware alsa-ucm-conf.
Sorry, but how do I do that? to check
sof-firmware and sof-firmware alsa-ucm-conf
pacman -Qi sof-firmware
pacman -Qi sof-firmware alsa-ucm-conf

Okay…i figured they should be installed. I’m out of ideas at the moment. Sound issues are difficult sometimes.
Alright, thanks in advance for your time, but I think this might be a problem with the BIOS settings for this sound card. because the BIOS settings on this laptop are very limited, it may be removed / hidden by the factory
What is this a laptop? Model? Make?
