No Audio with [AMD] Family 17h/19h HD Audio Controller [1022:15e3]

I installed the KDE Manjaro version on a HP Laptop 15-fc0xxx.
The Audio driver was recognized but crashes on azx_single_send_cmd. This followed with

  • hdaudio hdaudioC1D0: no AFG or MFG node found
  • snd_hda_intel 0000:03:00.6: no codecs initialized

I tried kernel Versions:
6.3.0-1 (actual used)
6.2.0_rt3-2
6.1.26-1
5.15.109-1
A full log of the problem is on the alsa project:

Firmware installed that should be used:

Any help or pointers would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks :slight_smile: I updated my text.

I found a very similar problem here:

The devices here are

I don’t know if that is know the same device as it has the same identifier [1022:15e3] but a slightly different name.

Interestingly here is

The device 0 is HDMI. Device 2 doesn’t look that good. Is that okay with acp - acp? Furthermore there were no kernel problems in that post.

Well after a power down and power on the sound was available.
The new log is in:

A new device popped up:

And no errors in dmesg.

So i can reproduce the problem with a reboot. Any ideas?

Issue with onboard audio codec ALC236 has been reported to ALSA developers

217440 – ALC236 audio disappears from HP 15z-fc000 on warm boot

once the system is warm booted (“reboot” from within Linux), sound stops working completely and the device doesn’t even show up anymore. Once this happens, the only way to get it to come back is to cold boot (“poweroff” from within Linux, wait for it to turn completely off, and turn it back on with the physical power button).

I have the same laptop, I do not have audio at all, albeit warm or cold reboot.
