Missing Intel Meteor Lake Drivers

[LegoPadawan]

Hello all!

I recently got my hands on a meteor lake based laptop and installed Manjaro on it, but it doesn’t seem to have any of the needed drivers for audio, WiFi, and Bluetooth to function.

Audio seems to be handled by an independent section of the processor and settings reports it as “Dummy Output”, and my wireless/bluetooth card is an Intel AX411NGW.

I found a couple of other forums on here but most of them are dead ends except for one where a user mentioned that the drivers were left out of the current kernel and they created a custom kernel with the drivers that were missing. I’m not sure how to do that and the user is no longer on the forums, so I’m SOL.

Here are my inxi -Fazy results, I’m hoping these will help!

Please always enclose code or command output within a preformatted text box as per forum guidlines for presentation.

This has been corrected for you in this instance;
In future, please tend to this yourself.

I’m sure someone will help when they are able.

Regards.

Welcome to the Manjaro community

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:

---

Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly;

Output of the inxi command with appropriate parameters will achieve this (naturally, formatted according to forum guidelines) and will generally be more useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form:

inxi -zv8

• inxi man pages (Arch Manual)

---

Be prepared to provide output from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.

Privacy:- Those with privacy concerns, note that when --filter or -z is used, personally identifiable information is filtered from the resulting inxi output.

Highly Recommended

• How to Request Support
• How to Post Command Output as Preformatted Text

Required Reading

• Forum Rules
• Strict Forum Rules and Guidelines

Technical Resources

• Manjaro Update Announcements
• Manjaro Wiki

Note: The above content is partially pre-prepared as a general introduction for newer forum Users. Please take the time to follow any links given and learn how to use the Manjaro forum more effectively.

[Nachlese]

Please include the full inxi - not just audio and network parts:
inxi -zv8

It might be due to an older kernel when (for instance) the ISO you used to install from was not a recent one.
Or just install a newer kernel and try with that.

@LegoPadawan

Audio seems to be handled by an independent section of the processor and settings reports it as “Dummy Output”,

Dummy Output is created by PipeWire if there is no audio device available for playback

I suggest you start a reply to this topic;
click on the arrow in top-left corner of reply window and select “Reply as a linked topic”
and create a new topic in the sound category with more information about audio devices:

pactl list cards

sudo alsa-info.sh --upload

Hi there, sorry for the extremely slow response. I set this machine aside because it was having stability issues, however I seem to have that worked out now.

Here’s the info you requested.

I’ve quoted the text from your other thread here:

@LegoPadawan

I have recently gotten my hands on a MeteorLake laptop and don’t seem to be able to load the correct drivers for the audio chipset. This isn’t your usual laptop, so there could be something going on, but the laptop did have working audio drivers when in was on Windows 10.

I also had issues finding drivers that would work for the original Intel WiFI AX411 wireless card that was in this laptop, however switching to a 5G only card resolved that issue, though one day I would like to get that WiFi 6E card back in here and working again.

… just so it isn’t missed. It’s recommended to keep things in one thread. Cheers!

Dell support has a lot of information about Inspirion 16 5630, but nothing about Inspiron 16 5631

I suggest contact Dell support to check if there is a BIOS update available

@weingeist

Please, pipewire OR pulseaudio

PipeWire is a mutimedia server and is required on Gnome and KDE for wayland if pipewire-pulse is not installed

Changing software audio servers will not help considering there are no audio devices detected in ALSA

It’s recommended to keep things in one thread

OP was requested in post #4 to post information about audio devices as a linked topic in sound category

A more logical approach conforming to forum guidelines would have been to simply move the topic to the “Sound” category;

now actioned on behalf all concerned.

[LegoPadawan]

Ah, noticed that did you? I think this is an Intel Meteor Lake 1335u, specs are very similar to that model.

[LegoPadawan]

Which I did, here’s the link.

Missing Meteor Lake Sound Drivers

Continuing the discussion from Missing Intel Meteor Lake Drivers: I have recently gotten my hands on a MeteorLake laptop and don’t seem to be able to load the correct drivers for the audio chipset. This isn’t your usual laptop, so there could be something going on, but the laptop did have working audio drivers when in was on Windows 10. I also had issues finding drivers that would work for the original Intel WiFI AX411 wireless card that was in this laptop, however switching to a 5G only card…

    UEFI: Dell v: 82.12.1 date: 03/27/2023

can you check if there is a newer bios available ? if so install it first. the splitting of your RAM into 2GB sections is also very curious. never seen that before and i wonder if this is correct.
also check if the linux-firmware is installed correct.

[LegoPadawan]

The RAM being split is very curious, I never noticed that. To be fair, this isn’t a normal laptop, so that might be a setting somewhere that I don’t know about.

I can try to find a BIOS update for this machine, but I don’t I will since it doesn’t officially have any support and the model technically doesn’t exist. I’ve tried looking for drivers on Dell’s website before and nothing came up. In fact even google searching the laptop model results in no information, the laptop is essentially a ghost, but it does work on Windows.

Well, my other posting in the proper location got taken down for being a duplicate post…so here we are again.

Here’s a quick update, I do not have any BIOS updates available to me, I spent most of the day today looking for anything in he BIOS related to update and online to no avail…which isn’t surprising as this laptop isn’t supposed to exist.

Something that’s worth noting and I find very interesting is that the sound from the laptop does work on HDMI or USB C devices (like docks) but does not work though the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Something else unrelated that I’ve noticed is missing is the proper keyboard drivers, I presently have no control over the keyboard backlight, and sometimes it flashes at me while I’m typing. I suspect a keyboard driver for the Dell Inspiron 16 5630 would probably remedy this issue if I knew how to install it.

Side thought, do drivers for the 5630 exist in the arch databases or does that model only have debian support because that’s what Dell decided to support?

Oh I should mention that this thing has the ability to create RAM disks, that might be why the RAM is sectioned strangely.

And I forgot to note that this laptop also displays a message on the UEFI splash screen when booting it up, something I’ve never seen before, 1D5C5B44.

I tried looking that up but it didn’t really help. My guess is there’s a BIOS setting somewhere that still isn’t happy.

Speaking of BIOS…I have 2, one UEFI, one more like CMOS. There’s tons of extra settings in the CMOS styled one, one of them being a fireware running mode which I presently have set in “Test” mode, but I have also run in “Production” mode and had no luck getting the missing drivers to work, but that does do something in Windows.

@LegoPadawan Whoops, it seems we were both editing at the same time. Notice I merged your replies. Please edit your previous reply if no one has responded yet instead of posting twice in a row.

I do not have any BIOS updates available to me, I spent most of the day today looking for anything in he BIOS related to update and online to no avail…which isn’t surprising as this laptop isn’t supposed to exist.

@Neil Innes

I’m the urban spaceman baby, here comes the twist… I don’t exist

@LegoPadawan

do drivers for the 5630 exist in the arch databases or does that model only have debian support because that’s what Dell decided to support?

As far as I know Arch does not have a hardware certification program. Laptop hardware quirks are usually posted on ArchWiki - Laptop/Dell#Inspiron - ArchWiki
Debian is considering a certification a program similar to RHEL, SUSE and Ubuntu
Hardware/Certification - Debian Wiki
Ubuntu certification program does not include Inspiron 5631
Information for Inspiron 5630 shows they are Raptor Lake, not Meteor Lake

Dell Inspiron 16 5630 (Core i7-1360P) certified with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | Ubuntu
Dell Inspiron 16 5630 (Core i7-1355U) certified with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | Ubuntu

Audio   Intel Corp. Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS (8086:51ca 1028:0c15)

Most Realtek onboard audio devices work with snd_hda_intel driver provided by the kernel
some devices require a driver patch from ALSA developers

Laptops also require a Sound Open Firmware driver to support internal digital microphones, but the Intel HDA driver is still needed for analog inputs and outputs (external microphones, headphones and built-in speakers)

Try using this to force use of snd_hda_intel only, without sof-audio-pci-intel-mtl

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-intel-hda.conf <<< "options snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver=1"

Reboot system to reload ALSA device and check ALSA information again

sudo alsa-info.sh --upload

Here’s what I got.

I have this info as well.
