No sound on linux-lts kernel

Hello! I am having issues with internal speakers on my Lenovo Thinkbook X. I had to install linux-lts kernel as it is the only kernel I don't get frequent kernel panics on. And no sound. But there was sound on linux, linux-zen, linux-hardened. Can you help me please? Ready to give any output needed

Re: No sound on linux-lts kernel

Does downgrading the linux-lts kernel package help? Which version are you on right now (pacman -Q linux-lts)?

linux-lts 6.6.52-1 Is my version. Didn't try downgrading. Which version should I try?

Re: No sound on linux-lts kernel

I'd just try the two previous versions (note that you can of course only install & test one at a time):

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux-lts/linux-lts-6.6.51-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux-lts/linux-lts-6.6.50-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Also I guess it's a separate issue, but what are the kernel panics about?

about kernel panics - the whole system freezes and my caps lock is blinking. People said it is kernel panic

Ah too bad You might want to have a look at the freezes via the tips described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … ng_freezes

Re: No sound on linux-lts kernel

Generally speaking HW support in the LTS kernel is over a year old, if never HW doesn't work on LTS that can well be normal, so you should look into fixing the kernel panics if at all possible.
