HP Omnibook Ultra Ryzen AI Audio bad

Hello!

First time posting here so please excuse me for any mistakes. I just got a new Ryzen AI laptop but the audio quality is very _very_ bad compared to that on windows when dual booting both linux and windows. Here's my alsa output: https://alsa-project.org/db/?f=6bd66fe6 … 2c0e61780d

A couple of things I've tried:
1. Used HDJack tool to assign 0x14 as Internal speaker (LFE), and 0x17 as internal speaker - This caused the sound to come in through the woofer only. I also tried other combinations which did not work out.
2. Installed sof-bin v2.2.x/v2.2
3. Tried this https://askubuntu.com/questions/873881/ … -hp-laptop
4. Added the infamous intel line to modprobe/alsa
5. Tried https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … omments/17
6. Installed kernel 6.12

None of these work. The quality of sound is audibly subpar, with the subwoofer kicking in at ~80% max volume but until then only the tweeters work which produce very high-pitched weird audio. How do I proceed with fixing this?

Hello and welcome to the club of lonely Omnibook Ultra operators :-)

You have already started correctly, but took a slightly wrong turn. You should install sof-firmware, not sof-bin (that is: Simple and fast calculate size of directories)
After installing Arch and Gnome 47.2 I had no sound and a dummy output as device.

There are still sof-fimware-tools but I don't want to change anything. It sounds good and that's a good thing. :-)

My console level issues are now:

# lspci | grep audio
00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Lunar Lake-M HD Audio Controller (rev 10)

Sorry, the text edition is partly in German.
However, I have to tell you that our devices are not the same.
I have the HP OmniBook Ultra Flip Laptop 14-fh0xxx with
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 258V (8)
GPU: Intel Arc Graphics 130V / 140V

Much success
