Ehhhh…hello
Ah well… it is actually loaded. ok I remember, you have to stop bypassing the driver… that can be done like this:
- Open a terminal and type:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
(nano is an editor, can be also kate, gedit, mousepad and sort of)
- There you can add a parameter like this at a new line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT+=" snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 "
it must be below the current variable and + means here “add”.
OR
you can add it to the actual line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="<existing_parameters> snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1"
-
Then save it.
-
Now you have to rebuild the grub menu:
sudo update-grub
- Reboot.
If everything is made correctly, it must load now the legacy driver.
More Information here:
modinfo snd-intel-dspcfg
dsp_driver: Force the DSP driver for Intel DSP
0 -> auto
1 -> legacy
2 -> SST
3 -> SOF
Good and complete content needs some time.
I did run modinfo, but what does it do, or what should i do…? It showed the output in the end as you told
You can check every driver (called module on linux). Here are parameters listed. It is just information
It does show parameters, if that’s how it should…?
Sorry, please read again. I don’t repeat myself.

so yes, what should we do next?
I feel like you are kidding me. Please read my post. If you have questions about it, then ask, but I answered everything already.
I feel like you are kidding me. You said that i need to bypass the driver. Now after loading with legacy driver im done with that you said. I’m asking of what to do next? Repeat modprobe or…? You never told after what to do after verifying that i booted with legacy driver.
You said not a single word about it. Note: I am not in front of your pc, you are.
Check what driver has been loaded:
inxi -Aazy
(Meaning: Post the output here.)
(sorry, i felt that i maybe forgot to tell something…)
Yeah it says that it is loaded:
Audio:
Device-1: Intel Celeron/Pentium Silver Processor High Definition Audio
driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel alternate: snd_soc_skl,snd_sof_pci_intel_apl

Sound Server-2: JACK v: 1.9.21 running: no
Sound Server-3: PulseAudio v: 16.1 running: no
Sound Server-4: PipeWire v: 0.3.54 running: yes
Great… did you test the sound? It should probably work.
Also adjuste sound here:
alsamixer
With F6 you switch the sound card.
Also please post the output of:
pactl list sources short
pactl list sinks short

__
46 auto_null PipeWire float32le 2ch 48000Hz SUSPENDED
It didnt work…the speaker icon on task bar shows that it is unactive (No output and input devices)
Im sorry, to say but i must go. You can text here next steps for me, which i can do tomorrow…bye for today
Okay it was a nice try, but after investgation I must say, it is not supported right now and you are not the only one.
So as @brahma suggest. Take a cup of tea or 2 and wait until it reach the mainline kernel. Maybe in kernel 5.18 or 5.19, but personally I think it will be stable at 5.20.
