Soundcard not detected on Huawei Matebook d14 (intel)

Colonelviied · 2022-03-27 20:27:17

I am dualbooting Arch with Windows on the Huawei Matebook d14 (intel). Sound works fine on Windows but I only see the dummy output in pavucontrol and when I run

 cat /proc/asound/cards

I get "no soundcards".
I have found multiple threads on other forums with the same or very similar problems, with are unfortunately unsolved. But some people seem to be able to run other distributions like Manjaro without any sound related problems.
What can I try?

Relevant packages I have installed:
pipewire
pipewire-alsa
pipewire-jack
pipewire-media-session
pipewire-pulse
alsa-utils
sof-firmware
alsa-firmware
alsa-ucm-conf

lspci -k
sudo journalctl -b

And see the 3rd link below (reboot windows and linux after the change, each twice for voodoo reasons)

The first page, truncated both in line length and in number of lines, isn't very helpful. Redirect it to a file or a pastebin service.

oh my bad, here is the full log: https://pastebin.com/zyVHAZZr

So the issue is here:

The ABI warning shouldn't be a problem from what I can find, but I don't see why the firmware failed.

If this doesn't work, post an updated journal.

Thanks, I followed the thread you linked and added the .conf file. Now these warnings don't appear in the journal anymore: https://pastebin.com/dh4jEBDM
I can also see my sound card now:

But just like in the thread you linked, I still only get the dummy output in pavucontrol. But I didn't configure anything else besides the things mentioned, so maybe I'm missing something.

seth · 2022-03-29 20:22:06

Yeah …
https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/2955

There's certainly some activity reg. the chip, https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/3338 and sof-firmware has been tagged, but binaries are not (yet) released.
https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/releases

When there's an update (given the above: "hopefully soon"), you don't want to enforce the legacy dsp_driver and use try SOF (the default auto) again (ie. remove the parameter)

Colonelviied · 2022-03-30 10:14:45

Yeah I guess I'll just have to wait... But thanks a lot for the help :)
