This laptop has only been available for about a month and I cannot find any reports or data about onboard audio codec ALC285
ALSA information does not look any different when comparing data from both kernels
The audio device is only partially detected
!!PCI Soundcards installed in the system
!!--------------------------------------
0000:00:1f.3 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:7a50] (rev 11) (prog-if 80)
DeviceName: Onboard - Sound
The last line should show more information about the subvendor (Asus)
ALSA data also shows only one speaker connection and no internal microphone detected
!!ALSA/HDA dmesg

I suggest update BIOS to latest version 308ROG Strix SCAR 16 (2023) – BIOS & Firmware｜ROG Global
and use this command to check if ALSA can detect more than 1 speaker output
sudo dmesg | grep snd; echo ;amixer -c0
Hey! Sorry for taking long time to answer.
When i wrote the command you posted in terminal, it shows following:strong text
[ 2.760128] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: DSP detected with PCI class/subclass/prog-if info 0x040380
Simple mixer control ‘Master’,0
I will try to update the bios to 308, i thought mine has 307 right now. Thank you for all your help and i wish you a great eastern!
Hello everyone!
I have also same laptop and i came to moment where i have “tiny sound”. To get to this point i set in hdajackretask → select codec: ACL285, show unconnected pins and check pin 14 override and select Internal speaker and then after reboot i have this “tiny sound”.
I found similar issue for asus 2023 laptop here:forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2315415
Comments on LinuxMint forum for Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 2023 show one user put in a lot of work to get audio working:
Recompile BIOS with _DSD patch;
Update Cirrus firmware files
Recompile kernel with quirk
“Tiny sound” on Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 2023
How can this be officially fixed?
ASUS needs to add the correct _DSD into the BIOS for the CSC3551 amplifier.
AND
The correct quirk needs to be merged into Linux Kernel.
Laptop discussed in LinuxMint forum has a different vendorID:productID code for audio codec: [8086:51ca]
Hey, Have you solved the problem?
Afaik there is no any solution right now. Asus completely ignore missing dsd configuration in their bios. No one from community prepare such fix for our laptops, so now, only external sound devices working
Maybe we have to wait for a while, reason by our laptops are so new so maybe there is not any complete support for our laptops right now.
