Various problems with HP Spectre x360 aw2xxxng (Tiger Lake)

hirnschmalz · 2020-11-26 06:53:34

Hi there,

I sucessfully installed Arch Linux on several laptops and desktop PCs. But now I'm struggeling with a fully functional setup on my brand new HP Spectre x360 aw2777ng with Tiger Lake. I guess some of the problems are related to the new Intel processor and will hopefully be fixed with Linux 5.10.

The first issue was, that the internal SSD was not recognized after the installation. I figured out that the I have to add the vmd module to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and create a new initramfs (this might be useful for someone else having this problem). After that I was able to boot and install my standard packages.

At the moment I've the following issues

after startup/resume the keyboard isn't responding. It takes several secounds (5-30) until I'm able to use the keyboard
I'm unable to get the soundcard working. I installed sof-firmware and alsa-ucm-conf after that I can see the new soundcard in amixer but I'm unable to get sound using aplay and I also don't see the soundcard in Gnome. I only get a Dummy-Output there.
GDM won't start up. That's very strange: the laptop boots and shows the following on screen
```
[drm:lspcon_init [i915]] *ERROR* Failed to probe lspcon
[drm] *ERROR* LSPCON init failed on port E
```
After switching to another virtual console and switch back GDM is there.

There are some errors in the log which I wasn't able to resolve

kernel: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Failure creating named object [\_SB.PC00.XHCI.RHUB.HS01._UPC], AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20200717/dswload2-326)

Some additional information: just for fun I tried Ubuntu 20.10

also no sound available
No problems during startup - no need to switch virtual console

Furthermore I found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GD … s_provided and verified the lack of entrpy. Neither adding kernel parameter nor installing havedge solved that problem. I also tried with the latest linux kernel (5.10-rc5) - same behaviour.

hirnschmalz · 2020-11-27 14:27:10

OK a bit of progress

If I disable TMP in UEFI I could "resolve" the TPM error
The lspcon error does not occur if I attach an external monitor via USB-C

hirnschmalz · 2020-11-30 16:03:24

With

sudo systemctl edit gdm

 [Service]
 Type=idle

I was able to resolve the "not starting GDM" issue.

Hi Hirnschmalz,

your sound is working now? I got mine working using `sof-firmware`, on MSI 14Evo though.

(Link to my comments installing Arch on MSI Prestige 14Evo: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p1941704)

Hope you are enjoying Arch

unfortunately not, I'm still hoping that Linux 5.10 will solve this.

bd · 2020-12-08 20:59:57

Just curious. My

cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

shows

blacklist snd_sof_pci

.

But acutally I am not really sure if it is needed.... But I remember I was reading about this and then putting it there. After installation of `sof-firmware` the sound finally worked. And also, I installed `alsa-ucm-conf`.

 pacman -Q | grep alsa

prints

Maybe you could try this?

hirnschmalz · 2020-12-09 05:47:23

I was pretty shure that I already tried blacklisting the module. But I tried again without getting sound out of my spectre. Alsa still shows the dummy output.

I also had installed the alsa-ucm-conf package, since this was noted in the Arch wiki

pacman -Q | grep alsa

alsa-card-profiles 14.0-1
alsa-lib 1.2.4-3
alsa-plugins 1:1.2.2-2

hirnschmalz · 2020-12-09 19:42:47

I also tried this modeprobe setting in the past (and also tried it now again) - same result.

bd · 2020-12-09 19:58:25

Okay, so I was trying this, since I also have tiger lake.... but I guess, there are differences.

If you need some other information, please let me know.

hirnschmalz · 2020-12-10 05:36:15

Hi bd

yes it seems a bit strange, because some users with TGL processors seems to get their soundcard working. They all have in common, that they use other laptops. Maybe there is something special with the HP Spectre x360.

Nevertheless thank you very much for your efforts.

I'll keep you updated here as soon as I make some progress.

colum · 2020-12-12 22:36:07

I have the 14t-ea000, which is having the exact same issues outlined here. I tried compiling linux-mainline (5.10rc6-1), which didn't help with the sound, keyboard, or backlight.

Fedora Rawhide seems to be the best distro right now, as I'm able to get sound working out the box. Still fighting with the weird keyboard issue as well as the backlight. I'll drop any fixes I find here.

Hi colum,

good to hear that the sound does work in a certain configuration!
Can you check kernel parameters / relevant module configuration on your working Fedora installation?

What problems do you have with backlight and keyboard? I've no issues with that on my 13".

Regarding my former post, the setting I had was wrong and was quite difficult to figure it out. Because sound was working, microphone not and so on. And strange keyboard-problems.

But finally I found the fix for my system (MSI P14 Evo):

/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

has to be

blacklist snd_hda_intel

I was blacklisting the wrong driver.

Just in case someone else is following outdated advise.

colum · 2020-12-13 17:57:35

hirnschmalz-

I was wrong. I just booted up the live OS and I get a Tiger Lake sound device, but no actual audio output from the speakers. So I'm thinking there is a need for something more.

The keyboard problem is it taking 10 to 30 seconds to start accepting input. The backlight on my 14 is totally non responsive. I'm guessing it has something to do with the screen being an OLED.

EDIT. Backlight is un-related. Needed a custom tool (icc-brightness) to do the needful. So the only issue is the keyboard warm up time and sound

Spectre x360 13-aw2020 11th gen 4k oled

Encountered the install problem, adding vmd module to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf corrected the issue. Thanks for the info.

Also have no sound and the keyboard startup delay issue.

enabled screen dimming: /etc/modprobe./i915.conf
options i915 enable_dpcd_backlight=1

Created a Fedora Rawhide LiveCD 20201212 - booted laptop from the live cd - no sound, only dummy output. The kernel in this build is 5.10.0-0.rc6. Not sure if this is an accurate test as it is running from the live cd.

Hi bd,

I tried blacklisting the snd_hda_intel module. This doesn't have any effect - still no sound

hirnschmalz · 2020-12-14 06:52:59

Hi colum

The keyboard problem is it taking 10 to 30 seconds to start accepting input.

OK I understand. Have you tried to pass the kernel parameter

random.trust_cpu=on

like described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GD … s_provided (or install haveged)?

redtile · 2020-12-14 15:57:27

I have an HP Spectre x360 15-eb1043dx on linux-mainline (as of this morning, 5.10, not rc).

I have the same keyboard problems (10 to 30 seconds). The rdrand solution doesn't work. It also takes a while to start the keyboard after waking up from a sleep (lid close).

I have sound issues as well (blacklisting modules and `options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1` didn't work).

hirnschmalz · 2020-12-14 17:00:19

Hi redtile,

oh, that's bad. I hoped linux 5.10 will solve some of the issues.

The RDRAND solution (kernel parameter / haveged) also doesn't have any effect here. It's different if the machine is attached to a Thunderbolt 3 dock. With the dock attached the keyboard responds immediatly.

Hello everyone!

I bought the Spectre x360 13'' aw2xxxng (Tiger Lake) a week ago and installed Ubuntu 20.04.
I have the same issue with sound and keyboard.

Today I tried again getting sound but still no result...
But somehow I got the mic which was previously also not working to work?!

pacmd load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,7

Just wanted to share it maybe it's worth something...

I also have the 5.10 kernel
