No built in speaker audio on meteor lake

Hi,

I installed arch over the weekend and have most core services working. The one thing I haven't been able to get working is audio output with my built in speakers. I'm using a Lenovo X12 Gen 2 and I can get output via the headphone jack, but have yet to find a working speaker output configuration.

Kernel:

Using speaker-test I can get output with my headphones, but no on the built in audio.

Checking dmesg for snd.

$ sudo dmesg | grep snd

I found these errors in dmesg separate from snd:

During debugging I came across a few things.

Following the SOF firmware playback docs I confirmed that I continue to get audio playback with headphones, but not the built in speakers even when using the legacy hd audio driver.

Due to the tas device error I'm wondering if I'm going to have to do what is mentioned in forum post and linked doc to get audio with my built in speakers working.

Any tips or guidance is appreciated.

Re: No built in speaker audio on meteor lake

Have you checked alsamixer to see if it's just muted?

Re: No built in speaker audio on meteor lake

There's a sof-firmware update, does it help?

Re: No built in speaker audio on meteor lake

Thank you for the response.

Have you checked alsamixer to see if it's just muted?

I checked alsamixer, and the speaker is not muted (MM), but I cannot change the speaker output level from 00. I have disabled auto-mute for the card.

There's a sof-firmware update, does it help?

I missed that, thank you. I applied the update along with the hwdata update and I have the same issue and error logs.

After reading through other threads I don't think I'll get built-in speaker output until I resolve the tas2871 firmware error.
