[SOLVED] Sound problems with Galaxy Book3 360

Hi, my speakers are not working or being detected.I know that this topic is much discussed and that there are already several solutions, however, I believe that my case is a little different. Oh, I'm a noob. Let's go.

I was looking at this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286799 and tried to reproduce the steps from Github.com/thesofproject

Most solutions use something like "hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 ", however, apparently, there is nothing related to hwC0D0 on my Linux, for example, when running this script (or any other similar) https://pastebin .com/raw/zsXp2vz6, I have this output:

open: No such file or directory

[root@archlinux gutierre0x80]# ls -la /dev/snd/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root       80 jan 23 09:22 .
drwxr-xr-x  21 root root     4700 jan 23 09:23 ..
crw-rw----+  1 root audio 116,  1 jan 23 10:26 seq
crw-rw----+  1 root audio 116, 33 jan 23 10:26 timer

When running lspci and filtering by "Audio", I don't find anything

[root@archlinux gutierre0x80]# lspci | grep Audio
[root@archlinux gutierre0x80]#

Re: [SOLVED] Sound problems with Galaxy Book3 360

grep is case-sensitive without the -i parameter and if the linked thread is any indication you'd have to grep for audio or Multimedia

Post a journal:

sudo journalctl -b

Re: [SOLVED] Sound problems with Galaxy Book3 360

In fact, I really was an idiot.

lspci | grep -i Audio
00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS (rev 01)

[gutierre0x80@archlinux audio]$ sudo journalctl -b | grep -i "Multimedia"
jan 23 10:55:45 archlinux systemd[4545]: Listening on PipeWire Multimedia System Sockets.
jan 23 10:55:52 archlinux systemd[8471]: Listening on PipeWire Multimedia System Sockets.
jan 23 10:55:52 archlinux systemd[8471]: Started PipeWire Multimedia Service.
jan 23 10:55:52 archlinux systemd[8471]: Started Multimedia Service Session Manager.
jan 23 10:56:02 archlinux systemd[4545]: Closed PipeWire Multimedia System Sockets.

There is another detail that I forgot to mention. I ran the following script a few hours ago. So my journalctl is polluted. It didn't work with this script, I undid everything it does. Do you have any idea what I can do? This arch is new, I just installed hyprland and some themes, I can reinstall

Re: [SOLVED] Sound problems with Galaxy Book3 360

Please post the full journal, not a grep of the journal.

FWIW for any of these things to begin to work in any capacity, sof-firmware needs to be installed, is that the case?

General advice, don't grep if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, grepping for random tokens and then making wrong assumptions because you never looked at the full output isn't really going to help anyone.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound problems with Galaxy Book3 360

I managed to fix it. Sorry for taking up your time and not knowing how to ask the question properly. Anyway, in case another newbie runs into the same issue, the solution was actually installing the sof-firmware. For some reason, the audio sounds great on my monitor, but really bad on the headset. But with it working (even if not perfectly), I used the script that interacts with /dev/snd/hwC0D0.

I have to run it every time I start up, but it's easy enough to automate/fix.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound problems with Galaxy Book3 360

Great, please mark as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post. And sorry if I sounded a bit annyoed there, but iit's somewhat frustrating to try and help with an issue and then having to extract the necessary information via disjunct bits and pieces
