     Active: inactive (dead)

this did not change though. this is not normal right?

42

nothing as that command is also invalid

43

that is normal. Can you please check your bios?

i think 53 is already default as it is marked

45

Yes it is. But can you go to your bios and check these:

  • Enable Onboard Audio: Enter your BIOS/UEFI setup (often via F2, Del, or Esc during boot) and verify that the onboard audio or internal sound controller is enabled.
  • Audio Mode/Output Settings: Some BIOS options let you choose between digital (HDMI) and analog output. Make sure the analog (speaker) output is selected or at least not disabled.
  • Legacy or DSP Options: Check if there’s any option regarding DSP mode or “legacy” audio mode. Some systems offer a toggle that might help with compatibility.
46

i assure you there is no audio related setting in my BIOS. it even only has one page

47

I strongly think this is a problem from the linux setup as I have already had sounds before on other distros. :frowning:

48

Where did you have the sound? Did you use pipewire or pulseaudio there and which kernel version did you use there?
Also one thing to try, can you put this back in your config but with the msi option:

boot.extraModprobeConfig = ''
  options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1
  options snd_hda_intel dmic_detect=0
  options snd_hda_intel enable_msi=0
'';
hardware.firmware = [ pkgs.sof-firmware ];

pipewire on gentoo. with the current latest binary gentoo kernel

Did you need to do anything specific there or did it just worked out of the box?
Also which kernel version are you currently running?

54

i only pasted what you gave in my config

55

latest kernel: 6.13.7

56

I meant in gentoo. Did you need to do anything specific in gentoo to get the sound workin?

57

btw I still don’t have sounds

58

i really forgot it. all i remember was reading their wiki on pipewire

59

But you restarted your laptop when using these options.
Also what happens if you use external headphones that are connected trough the Headphone Jack?

60

yes i always reboot. i currently dont have a headphone
