No soundcard found on new laptop

[Huckleberry Finn]

P.S. If that terminal is still open and if the prompt shows

Code: Select all

Dana@mxDana:~/sof-bin

then just

Code: Select all

sudo ./install.sh v2.2.x/v2.2

[argonaut459]

... If still not, just apply the conf file again:

Code: Select all

echo "options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

Reboot.
Then: Menu => Alsamixer : press F6 : select "0 ... Intel" then press F5 (all) then take a screenshot and post. (or just tell what it writes on top-left corner for Card: ... ) .. (Or if there are bars (more than 1-2 only) play with them, (you can unmute/mute with M from keyboard)

Didn't do this as of now.

tried the other command and got the error file already exists

Code: Select all

Dana@mxDana:~
$ cd sof-bin/ ; sudo ./install.sh v2.2.x/v2.2
+ ln -sT sof-v2.2 /lib/firmware/intel/sof
ln: die symbolische Verknüpfung '/lib/firmware/intel/sof' konnte nicht angelegt werden: Die Datei existiert bereits
+ set +x
./install.sh ERROR: /lib/firmware/intel/sof already installed? (Re)move it first.

will do the remove thing now, and reply with the answer.

Ok, just leave it so ...

Did so.
Non of the bars could be changed, just muted / unmuted - they were not muted to begin with.

then just

Code: Select all

sudo ./install.sh v2.2.x/v2.2

retried the steps, still getting the same
"file already exists" error

EDIT:
I didn't reboot this time, but turned off the PC, and saw that the text is now different and a red FAILED is missing.

booting up, I can see multiple error messages showing up - no time to read it.
Could these info help?

So, it looks almost the same with previous trials..

Nothing to lose:

Code: Select all

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-dmic enable=yes" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/sound2.conf

Reboot.

will reboot now.
Is there actually a difference between reboot and turn off?

rebooted - No Sound

there is a BIOS message at the very top when Linux boots

Sometimes yes, but in this case, no.. you can do whichever you like...

As this is getting more and more an issue, the more the laptop is needed.

Is there a way to get in contact with the ALSA team, I was looking on their page https://www.alsa-project.org - but I'm kind of at a loss on how to check my specific soundchip or how to report the issue to them.
