Audio Issues TigerLake-LP

Support Sound

Hello everyone.

I am very very new to Linux and I need help. I have a Samsung Galaxy Book pro and Manjaro is working flawlessly. Except Audio. My Audio device shows Intel Tiger Lake LP and I followed this guide to get audio to work h t t p s : / / forum manjaro org/t/howto-set-up-the-audio-card-in-samsung-galaxy-book/37090 .

On Ubuntu that fix worked flawlessly. On Manjaro im having issues. Massive issues. Sometimes I have both speakers working. Sometimes only the right channel. Sometimes none at all. It happens at random when I restart or shutdown and reboot and it is incredibly frustraiting especially when all I want to do is listen to music and do my work.

I have tried re-installing and applying that fix I linked above multiple times now and no dice. I have tried hdajackretask and that doesn’t do anything either. I have tried using both pulseaudio and pipewire to no avail either.

This speakers work flawlessly in Windows 11 and Ubuntu when I do what the thread linked above specified but not in Manjaro and that is the distro I want to use. I’ve been at this for a week following guides and fixes in threads but so far nothing works in Manjaro. I’ve updated Manjaro so its all up to date but nothing.

I really want to swap to Manjaro full time as my OS of choice and not have to go back to Windows but I need the speakers working properly.

Thanks for the help.

Here is the output. I am at a total loss on how to get the audio working reliably

Are you able to see sof-hda-dsp by typing alsamixer

Launch alsamixer in the terminal and modify volumes:

alsamixer
press F6,
ensure the sof-hda-dsp sound card is listed,
select it
increase the volume in all the columns,
ensure the db Gain (displayed at the top left corner) never exceeds 0.00

Yeah I am. Ive turned the volume on everything all the way up but no dice. like I said that guide works perfectly fine when done in ubuntu and they work on windows.

Everything seems fine to me. Can you install the manjaro-pipewire package and reboot. If it still occurs maybe @nikgnomic could help you.

Just installed it and no dice. No output from speakers at all.
