thinkbook no audio

Good evening, I have an intel 13s thinkbook. I have installed arch linux and am using it as gnome as DE. But the audio doesn't work on my laptop.
By running the command dmesg | grep -i audio:

Re: thinkbook no audio

Hi.
Same Laptop here. (Thinkbook 13s, Intel 2021)

You need a another sound-package for newer soundcards.

extra/sof-firmware 1.7-2 [Installiert]
    Sound Open Firmware

Re: thinkbook no audio

I also had similar issue(Running Manjaro on Linux Thinkbook G2. Machine details provided below). I think it is due the Intel Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Audio chipset. The below step actually solved the problem. (Copied from Ubuntu forum)

Copied. Original thread link here

----------------

It seems the driver you are using is sof-audio-pci. As per this, you may try with snd_hda_intel. Simply copying the procedure:

    Edit grub

    $ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

    Change

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

    to

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0"

    Update grub

    $ sudo update-grub

    Reboot

You can check if soundcards are detected with

$ aplay -l

------------------------

My Machine details as below

Desktop: GNOME 41.1 tk: GTK 3.24.30 wm: gnome-shell dm: GDM 41.0
  Distro: Manjaro Linux base: Arch Linux
Machine:
  Type: Laptop System: LENOVO product: 20VE v: ThinkBook 15 G2 ITL

Re: thinkbook no audio

That is somewhat of a hacky workaround and breaks mic support.

Re: thinkbook no audio

Install of latest `alsa-ucm-conf` solved the issue for me.
