Missing sound on Asus Rog Strix G713PV after update from Kernel 6.6.0 to 6.6.1 and 6.6.2

Hi,

first of all: great job for fixing a problem which I had with the sound on my Asus Rog Strix G713PV 2023 laptop. I found this discussion

and tried the October image which made my soundcard/amplifier work immediately. Alas, after an update last week and just now, the soundcard can’t be found anymore.

I could revert the update thanks to timeshift but not updating somehow is no solution. Just wanted to ask: are the patches not included or is there something I missed?

Kind regards

Alex

Can you post some information ?

I’d love to but the forum software tells me, there’s a link in it which I must not post. Can’t find anything.

Thanks, that did the trick. It was the </x.org> under Display. But how to remove a link which you never put in? :wink:

and here the alsa-info.sh-output:

Can you also post pacmd list-sinks ?

Well. Those newer Asus laptops might not provide the needed info in BIOS. For example the ALLY did that with 323 the last time. Newer 33x BIOS versions fixed that. 6.5 and 6.6 kernel series I patch regarding that.

So check if any kernel worked for you and if which kernel broke it again. Else a BIOS update might have broke it.

Also read the asus linux project

Please find the output below. Weirdly after I updated again (the 3rd time), The sound and the bluetooth worked. Will put the status on solved.

Yes, I read that from you in the other thread. Unfortunately, there’s no updated BIOS, yet. I hope ASUS fixes this. They stated they fully support Linux but if such essential hardware info is missing, that statement has to be partially doubted.

The “problem” is I got the laptop quite cheap compared to others with that specs.

Luckily and thanks to your great work, it works now. No other distro does by now.

Many, many thanks to all of you. Happy to learn more about Manjaro.
