[SOLVED] X1 Carbon Gen 8 - no sound after fresh install

Hello,
I am new to ArchLinux and to this forum. I wiped Windows and successfully installed ArchLinux but there is no sound at all. I searched the forum for possible solution but did not find any answers for X1 Carbon Gen 8.
Any help to resolve this issue would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I tried lts kernel and it did work.
Also not working on hardened kernel.

Re: [SOLVED] X1 Carbon Gen 8 - no sound after fresh install

What's your outputs for 

lspci -k
dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'

?

FWIW since more and more laptops pop up with this, and carbon is definitely a likely culprit, you will need to install the sof-firmware package for audio support.

Re: [SOLVED] X1 Carbon Gen 8 - no sound after fresh install

I had installed linux-lts kernel to see if audio would work with it.
The results I posted above are with linux-lts running, but audio still
does not work so I went back to the previously running kernel.

The results are different. I'm re-posting the results with the
currently running kernel 5.7.12-arch1-1. The linux-lts kernel uses
'snd_hda_intel' and current linux kernel uses 'sof-audio-pci'
Audio does not work with either one but 'sof-audio-pci' shows errors
in dmesg results.

Anything else I should try?

Re: [SOLVED] X1 Carbon Gen 8 - no sound after fresh install

Yes, as mentioned install sof-firmware if that's the output with sof-firmware installed one other thing you can try is /etc/modprobe.d/dsp-fix.conf 

options snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver=1

and reboot. But sof-firmwares have been working well so far as far as I've heard so installing that should probably work (... and be preferred)

Re: [SOLVED] X1 Carbon Gen 8 - no sound after fresh install

Thank you very much!
I installed sof-firmware and alsa-utils then ran alsamixer. I turned Master on,  increased the speaker volume and now sound works. Yay
After reboot, the settings were not saved so I ran 'sudo alsactl store' and settings are now kept in place.
I am running with non-lts kernel, using sof-audio-pci driver.
I'll mark this issue [SOLVED]

I have the same problem with X1 Carbon Gen 8.

Re: [SOLVED] X1 Carbon Gen 8 - no sound after fresh install

Keep in mind that if you do opt for the fallback method via that modprobe config that you likely won't have mic support.

Re: [SOLVED] X1 Carbon Gen 8 - no sound after fresh install

I had the same issue after the fresh install of arch, and as everyone said, sof firmware solved the issue, but i have to ask about the audio, my bass is underperforming a little bit, anybody of you have this issue?

I had the exact same issue with an X1 Carbon Gen 8 - no audio. I am on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and the ONLY change I had to make was to
a) sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/dsp-fix.conf
b) edit /etc/modprobe.d/dsp-fix.conf and add the line you had specified above

options snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver=1

Immediately upon rebooting, the audio card showed up magically in the Settings and audio worked!

Thank you so much!

P.S. Apologies for posting about another flavour of Linux - but I saw another link to this article from a Ubuntu forum, that generically said this page worked, but didn't specify exactly what the steps were.
Kindly let me know if this goes against the decorum of this forum and I'll gladly delete it.
