Mute sound led not working on HP Pavilion Laptop 15-eg0039nm

Will sudo modprobe -r sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl uninstall the driver or just unload it beacuse I want to keep it if something doesn’t work so I can restore it

no, it will just remove it, the other modprobe will load the snd hda and test if it works with it… you can then restore the sof with:
sudo modprobe sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl

One small problem

sudo modprobe -r sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl                                                                                           1 ✘  3s  
modprobe: FATAL: Module sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl not found.

so try this then:
sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel
try mute
if it doesnt work output from:
lsmod | grep sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl

Both commands didn’t produce any output inxi -Aax is the same

lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel

check this link:

it should be supported on the 5,18 kernels…

Looks interesting.
I’ll ether wait for nvidia to support it or install the nvidia open kernel modules but I don’t know how stable that is on manjaro

and why cant you switch to the 5.18? you just provide a link to nvidias arch wiki…

Go to installation and read the note

i see, you need to add this parameter:
ibt=off
and then you will be able to boot normally

I’ve heard it’s unsecure what about the nvidia open kernel modules or is that unstable?

i wouldnt worry that much about it:
This security feature is responsible for mitigating a class of exploit techniques, but is deemed safe as a temporary stopgap solution

i dont know about those open nvidia drivers… but its very likely that it is unstable … and do you use your nvidia card for gaming etc…?

I’ll try it but yes I use my nvidia gpu for gaming and a little video editing

if the mute light is bothering you that much, then give it a try …

I’m going to try the ibt=off way

you can just install the 5.18 kernel, reboot and in grub menu press E and add the parameter there … if the mute light works you can add it to /etc/default/grub, update grub, to make it permanent

It still doesn’t work.
Tbh I’m now starting to think what the light doesn’t work at all I’ve never tested it on windows but I doubt it this laptop was bought last year

you can search for: ‘mute led not working on hp linux’ and you get a lot of people with the same issue… so probalby just wait, till its fixed …

The thing that will probably make it work is if the snd_hda_intel becomes the audio driver

Ok I’ve figured it out I have to disable snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl
But then when I run sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel it doesn’t do anything (no output plus inxi says that there is no driver) and after reboot it reverts back to sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl

man my pc is weird
