Hi,
Just made a fresh KDE Install. I can not see a sound input or output devices detected.
Tried the below things so far without any progress, from searching forums/IRC
Installed sof-firmware
Tried using the latest Kernel.
Installed Alsa-tools, but I can only see Icelake HDMI in Codecs
.
Output inxi
post output from: pacman -Qs 'pulse|pipewire
there are still some pulse leftovers
use formating, press this icon in the editor: </> and copy the output there
is fast boot disabled in bios - you may not have this option
are you booting with windows? if yes, is fast startup disabled in windows
did the sound worked in live usb?

I only checked if it works on Live CD post install. Also fastboot is disabled on Windows. Followed the other instructions and rebooted. No progress. Thanks for the suggestions.
try disabling power safe on your audio:
create this file: kate /etc/modprobe.d/audio.conf
and put there these lines: options snd_hda_intel power_save=0 options snd_hda_intel power_save_controller=N
save it and run: sudo mkinitcpio -P
reboot and see if it helped
do you have sof-firmware installed?
again open this file: kate /etc/modprobe.d/audio.conf
and add there this line: options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0
save it and run: sudo mkinitcpio -P
reboot and see if it helped
so again open the audio.conf
and replace all of the options with this: options snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1
so only this one will be there, the power save didnt work, so you need them, save the file and run: sudo mkinitcpio -P
reboot and see if it helped
Data in post #1 shows audio device is using snd_hda_intel driver and does not show SOF driver as an alternate
Please post more information about ALSA devices
sudo alsa-info.sh --upload
@brahma dmic_detect=0 was deprecated after kernel v5.8. Replacement option snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 to force snd_hda_intel driver is not needed because:
we’ve already got one, it’s a-very nice
( I told him we already got one )
‘mkinitcpio’ is only needed for GRUB options not for options in /modprobe.d/ folder power_save settings are usually only needed for eliminating pops and clicks
@Keruskerfuerst
I have posted before that screenshots of ALSA are usually useless. post#12 is an excellent example
@mithrial
magical beta thinking doesn’t work if the problem is in ALSA. it may need arcane magic or help from a kernel mage
i was following instructions on arch wiki, where there i didnt notice any mention that these options are no longer needed on newer kernels …
and yes you have to run mkinitcpio after you edited modprobe.d modules or their options otherwise they will not be applied
ALSA data currently shows only 6 HDMI outputs and no analog output in **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
No analog input detected in **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
ALSA is not showing Realtek ALC256 (or similar) device as expected - only Intel Icelake HDMI
Check if manufacturer’s website has any BIOS/Firmware updates
Check BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure onboard audio is turned on
