Huawei Matebook X Pro 2024: speakers and camera not working

Hello, I recently got the Huawei Matebook X Pro 2024, and was amazed by the audio quality it had on Windows. However after installing Arch, I couldn't get the speakers and camera to work. Interestingly enough, the mic does work. I have already installed the sof-firmware package since it has fixed audio issues for other people, but it didn't fix anything for me.

Here is my output of inxi -Axxx. Please tell me if any other information is needed.

Audio:
  Device-1: Intel Meteor Lake IPU vendor: Huawei driver: intel-ipu6
    bus-ID: 00:05.0 chip-ID: 8086:7d19 class-ID: 0480
  Device-2: Intel Meteor Lake-P HD Audio vendor: Huawei
    driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-mtl bus-ID: 00:1f.3 chip-ID: 8086:7e28
    class-ID: 0401
  API: ALSA v: k6.10.0-arch1-2 status: kernel-api
  Server-1: sndiod v: N/A status: off
  Server-2: PipeWire v: 1.2.1 status: active with: 1: pipewire-pulse
    status: active 2: wireplumber status: active 3: pipewire-alsa type: plugin
    4: pw-jack type: plugin

I've looked into people having similar issues but couldn't find anything about this laptop model, so I'm somewhat at a loss here. Any help is appreciated

Add "snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1" to kernel parameter may fix the speakers.

Have you found any solution for this? Got the laptop recently and the same issue.

Ok - so here is the solution for sound. And it sound GREAT!!!!

So first - install  latest sof.bin 2024.9.  Then - old fix

1.  options snd_sof_intel_hda_common sof_use_tplg_nhlt=1 > /etc/modprobe.d/anyname.conf

2.options snd_sof_pci tplg_filename=sof-hda-generic-ace1-4ch.tplg >> /etc/modprobe.d/anyname.conf

3. ln -s /lib/firmware/intel/sof-ace-tplg /lib/firmware/intel/sof-ipc4-tplg

Reboot.

You will have only headphones available now - and no sound as there is no jack for headphones. USB-C ones did not work for me (maybe I did not try too hard but for headphoes I use bluetoth so dont care). 

Now - open pavucontrol and go to configuration tab. On Meteror Lake-P HD Audio Controller ypu will have 2 profiles - one with headphones (that is selected by default) and the other one with speaker. Select the speaker one.

Enjoy all 6 speakers with amplifiers and perfect sound.
