Internal speaker does not play audio on Huawei Matebook 14S

Support Sound
1

I recently bought a 2023 Huawei Matebook 14S and installed both Manjaro and Windows 11 on it. While most things are working fine on Manjaro, I’ve just discovered that the built-in speaker does not work properly on Manjaro Linux while on Windows it is working just fine.

When I check the pavucontrol configurations, there are two options available: 'Play HiFi Quality Music' and 'Pro Audio'， none of which would play sound.

What’s more, headphones plugged in with audio jack also play perfectly.

Output for aplay -l:

lspci -nn | grep audio

i have tried replacing my kernel with the latest linux66 as is suggested [here](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=290321) but the audio is yet still not working…

When you say built-in speaker does not work properly on Manjaro; what is the exact problem - no sound?

There is a long github issue that might be relevant:

script claims to toggle speaker/headphones output

thnkas buddy, i can confirm the commands

sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x16 0x701 0x0001 // move output to speaker dac
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x17 0x70C 0x0002 // enable speaker
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x1 0x715 0x2     // disable headphones

solve the issue on manjaro and fedora linux.

Try this solution: GitHub - Smoren/huawei-ubuntu-sound-fix: Fix for sound card behavior on Huawei Matebook s14 / s16 on Ubuntu 22.04 / Fedora / Arch
It works as a daemon and manage the sound card on phones connect/disconnect.
