No Audio working for Macbook (2017)

[lados72244]

I have installed manjaro on both of my macbooks. One is Macbook10,1 (2017), and the other MacbookPro14,2 (2017), and I have tried one with KDE and one with Gnome.

The installation worked for both, but the audio is not working. I have enabled audio in both settings and alsamixer. I have also tried restarting and reinstalling pulseaudio.

I am sorry for not providing more info, but I am quite a noob, but I will happily supply more information if needed. I really have tried searching on google and the forum, but to no avail.

I have edited the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, from “mb101” to “intel-mac-auto”

options snd-hda-intel model=intel-mac-auto

The bluetooth also is not working, but this is not as big of a dealbreaker, but if anyone have tips on bluetooth, those would also be taken with open arms. Here the problem seems to be that I cant activate bluetooth at all.

Hello,

Follow the discussion here

Macbook 14 audio

Hello Just installed Manjaro on my Macbook 14,1 yesterday, with the same issues concerning audio and bluetooth. The only solution that I have found for the sound, that might work is this: GitHub - davidjo/snd_hda_macbookpro: Kernel audio driver for Macs with 8409 HDA chip + MAX98706/SSM3515 amps I am at work right now, so haven’t had a chance to try it out yet. Will let you know how it works out.

and see if that helps.
If not, mention here where you got stuck so someone will assist you.

I managed to get the sound working on my Macbook 2017 10,1
To do so first upgrade the Kernel. The one I am running on at the moment is: 5.17.1-1-rt16-MANJARO

It is a realtime Kernel.
Then I ran the install script from

GitHub - leifliddy/macbook10-1-audio-driver-test

Did a reboot and it was working on the latest Manjaro at the time of this writing 21.2.6 Gnome edition

Thought I would leave this here in case anyone like me is still looking for it
