Speakers, microphone, camera not detected on new Dell XPS-9320

Hi there!

I just got a new XPS 13 Developer Edition, running Ubuntu out of the box (and, I checked, everything worked – I presume all necessary drivers were preinstalled). I wiped the computer and did a fresh install of Manjaro OS, and almost everything works out of the box except that there is no sound output or input, and no camera detected either. To be clear, it doesn’t seem to be detecting a sound card (only “Dummy Output”), which seems to be a drivers issue but after heavy googling I can’t seem to find a place where I could obtain linux drivers for Dell’s audio card and webcam. On the other hand, I assume these must exist since my original Ubuntu system had video and audio both working perfectly…

I’d appreciate any help y’all might be able to provide!

Looking back at the output, I actually found the solution was simply to load the snd_hda_intel driver instead of the sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl one, with modprobe snd_hda_intel. This fixed the audio issue for me! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

The camera, however, still does not work. Any ideas?

is the webcam enabled in bios?
and try different kernels: 5.10 and 5.18

Tried both kernels, and checked bios settings: webcam is enabled. I’m using different apps and websites and they all tell me that I have no camera connected

dont see it being even detected… run this:
sudo modprobe uvcvideo
and test the webcam

hmm, I did that and rebooted but still no difference

you shouldnt have reboot after the command… run the command and test the webcam without rebooting

oops, nothing happened right after i ran modprobe and tested, that’s why i rebooted but that didn’t work either

im out of ideas… try also the 5.4 kernel

I was also thinking that 5.4 might work since that’s what ubuntu (20.04) uses; i’ll try it and let you know

unfortunately, changing the kernel didn’t work either… I’ll keep looking, but also marking my earlier message as solution for now as it solved my main problem (speaker/mic).

v4l2-ctl --list-devices should be the one to execute to see if any webcam is detected. It should output something like (this is from my system):

NYK NEMESIS: NYK NEMESIS (usb-0000:00:14.0-1.1):
        /dev/video0
        /dev/video1
        /dev/media0

USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam: USB2.0 HD (usb-0000:00:14.0-7):
        /dev/video2
        /dev/video3
        /dev/media1

The latter is my internal webcam, the former is an external one.
