if your hearing sound in both headphones and on the board, then your topic is not correct.

You said 'barely audible' ... in a different post it was posted to try these, but you never replied. What happens when you try this?

Code: Select all

#volume set to 75%
amixer -D pulse sset Master 75%

thx to everyone, i went through all the suggestions but to no avail unf.

- latest kernel
- latest pulse-audio
- volume amixer set
- systemD started
- firmware-sof-signed latest
question would be, what is fedora doing differently ??

... The only thing I can think of is the sof version, on MX it is (currently):

firmware-sof-signed
Version: 2023.09-1~mx23ahs

(Version numbering according to Debian)
