[SOLVED] HP Zbook G9 Built-in Speaker Not Detected

xydxydxyd · 2023-12-20 10:02:10

I recently installed Archlinux on my Zbook G9. The built-in speaker is not listed on the output devices. When I try to play a video, there is no sound from the speaker.

Other audio outputs such as bluetooth headphones and airbuds works fine.

Here are some debug commands and outputs.

Following the wiki, I installed the necessary firmware and it works fine now.
