Can't access bios anymore

I just installed arch a couple of days ago and chose to use pipewire for sound during the installation. I have not been able to get any sound and have followed a couple of threads that lead to nowhere.

aplay -l
aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

arecord -l
arecord: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

So i decided to try a clean install and use pulseaudio for sound, but when i try to access the bios like i have done before nothing happens. Followed a couple of threads for that problem aswell but running

systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

from this post but i just get stuck on a black screen and have too reboot into the arch menu.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Re: Can't access bios anymore

At least you provided the X to the Y up front: https://xyproblem.info/

First up, if aplay does not give you any devices then there's nothing pipewire or pulseaudio can do, so switching between the two will be completely futile. Check your dmesg for errors regarding your sound device

sudo dmesg | grep -iE 'snd|sof'

, safe bet you need sof-firmware but didn't install sof-firmware.It would also be complete overkill to reinstall your system just for swtiching between the two audio systems. Reinstalling the system to change a piece of software is Windows user mentality, you'll most likely just end up at the same place with a bunch of time wasted.

Regarding the question that prompted this thread - but has nothing to do with the actual problem you are trying to solve - do you have a UEFI/BIOS internal fast-boot setting? That will be mainboard specific on how to disable that and you should in general rely on the mainboards buttons to get you into the firmware, which mainboard is this exactly? The systemctl command is a "nice to have" that is not guaranteed to even exist or be properly implemented on any given mainboards implementation (... and will by definition not work should you still have a BIOS system instead of UEFI)

i think i already tried to install sof-firmware but it did nothing after reboot, i don't know if i need to configure it in a special way, but i will try again

Regarding the systemctl, this is the output i get from that command

Re: Can't access bios anymore

went on a dive into my search history and found this post which fixed my issue of not seeing any outputs, see

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC256 Analog [ALC256 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC256 Analog [ALC256 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: ALC256 Alt Analog [ALC256 Alt Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

so i guess my sound issues are a thing of the past, too bad videos don't play anymore but that's a different issue i think

Re: Can't access bios anymore

I was more referring to the particular

systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

command which is not guaranteed to work.

What exactly did you do on your system to get to that output? If you tried random model values chances are something shows up but isn't actually working (though if you used the dmic_detect=0 workaround maybe the speakers are working, mic will most likely be broken) . Assuming it is working browser playback issues could be due to the wrong services grabbing the now available sound device. If you are on pipewire and intend to stay on pipewire make sure wireplumber, pipewire-pulse and pipewire-alsa are installed.

Re: Can't access bios anymore

the settings i added to my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf were

options snd-hda-intel model=generic
options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0
blacklist snd_soc_skl

to fix the browser video issue i updated some pipewire packages like the second command in this post

pacman -Syu pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse

is the dmic_detect=0 solution more of a band aid rather than an actual solution or should i just get used to not having a mic, my previous setup used this as well and i never got around to fixing it

Re: Can't access bios anymore

You don't need the model nor the blacklist.  Yes this should be considered a band aid workaround, ideally sof-firmware is fixed to properly support your card.

Re: Can't access bios anymore

Ok cool i'll try once more to make sof-firmware work, is there anything i need to do to make that work except just installing it with pacman, otherwise i just want to say thanks for the help
