HP Envy 17-cw0023dx no sound ... [Solved]

[CharlesV]

... 'stack on' like this?..

Nope, one at a time.

Code: Select all

options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi enable=yes

Next time just change the model=... part to headset-mic then to auto


P.S. Nice to hear your new device is ok and you liked it :)

Thanks. Yes, that machine is SO FAST .. pretty amazing actually!

I will work through the various options tomorrow .. I am spent ;-/

@l0dr3 So, the script fails with the following:

This is another (newer) dkms patch repository, which contains fixes for building on debian

NB: with only a quick look at the build scripts, this stuff will ONLY work with OFFICIAL debian kernels, NOT with AHS or Liquorix ones?

NB2: compared to the original patches from late August, theres now an '--auto' flag, that should detect the model specific subsystem-id??

Plz post the output of ...

Code: Select all

sudo dmidecode | less | grep "Product Name"

Here you go

Code: Select all

$ sudo dmidecode | less | grep "Product Name"
	Product Name: HP Envy Laptop 17-cw0xxx
	Product Name: 8BDD

Here you go

Code: Select all

$ sudo dmidecode | less | grep "Product Name"
	Product Name: HP Envy Laptop 17-cw0xxx
	Product Name: 8BDD

OK - so this are the infos for the quirk to be set by you IF the '--auto' flag does not do

in https://github.com/saulhdev/hp-15-ew0xx ... realtek.sh

... But why ALC287 when it's 245 ?

[l0dr3]

... But why ALC287 when it's 245 ?

Yep - thats common practice by the kernel hackers/devs. if there is no info for a new codec, they always refer the quirks from similar known codecs.

BTW - this 'ALC245' is some sort of a 'phantom' - theres no info at all about this device, not even on AllDataSheets

How's it going? I have the same problem :(
Previously I had a 17-cr0xxx model and the hp-15-ew0xxx-snd-fix patch fixed the sound problem perfectly. But for 17-cw0xxx it doesn't work. I have tried various combinations of this fix, but regardless of the options, I constantly get an error in the log: Invalid boost inductor peak current: -1 mA

Welcome In!

I had to put this issue aside and get some work done, and will be picking it back up shortly. Everything I can determine is that the layer between the sound card and the speakers is not being addressed properly, and have still not found a fix.

The workaround for me is bluetooth. ( I have an onxy speaker or AirPods which both work perfect.)

Kernel 6.9 solves the problem.

[CharlesV]

Kernel 6.9 solves the problem.

Very cool and thank you for that. I have read that the 6.9 kernel was fixing Acer laptop sound, but nothing about HP's... I was hoping:-) .

You have tried it? or just read about the fix?
