[solved] my audio drivers are unable to recognize my sound card

sirred · 2023-08-20 12:42:39

I'm trying to setup audio drivers on my newly installed arch linux on my laptop, but it seems that its not able to recognize my hardware/sound card. I setup pipewire and alsamixer as mentioned on other sources but its not working.

I ran "lspci | grep -i audio" and the output was "0000:00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake PCH-P High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)" but when I ran "sudo cat /proc/asound/cards" and "aplay -l" the output was "--- no soundcards ---" and "aplay: device_list:277: no soundcards found..." respectively, which made me think the drivers arent able to recognize my hardware.

also I ran "dmesg | grep -i audio" and it says

So you need sof-firmware? Is it installed?

espritlibre · 2023-08-20 13:00:12

looks like you need to install sof-firmware

sudo pacman -S sof-firmware

yes i tried installing sof-firmware. I downloaded it from github and ran the install.sh script, it seemed like it worked, there was /lib/firmware/intel/sof and /lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg though the error in the dmesg still persist. I also ran "sudo pacman -S sof-firmware" it downloaded without any error but the dmesg error still persist.

That is not how you install packages on a linux system - certainly not on arch. Undo whatever that script did and install it properly.

EDIT: Also, given there's no install.sh in the upstream sof-firmware github repo, you clearly did not even do that.

D'ohh, https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … -firmware/
Then post an updated system journal

I removed the sof-firmware i installed using script and used pacman to install it, but the dmesg still persist.

system journal:
"Aug 20 19:29:01 SirSeberron sudo[20092]: sirred : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/sirred ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/pacman -S sof-firmware

and dmesg:

find /usr/lib/firmware -name 'sof-adl.ri'

Then please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

sirred · 2023-08-20 14:36:39
