audio not working when using any linux distro but works on windows

[goatedpenguin]

Hi all so I basically I have been trying to install Linux on my laptop(link, specs and model number on the link down below) and right now I am currently using windows because whenever I try to install any linux distro the audio does not work I suspect this may be a driver problem since I have a HP laptop and many others have reported this for different models. If someone can give me a patch or fix for this it will really be appreciated 🙂

https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/ConfigureView?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&catEntryId=30744...

specs:

32gb ram @ 3200mhz

Intel core i7-13700H

1tb nvme

sound devices are appended below(uses a B&o speakers if that helps too):

Here is the output from the command "pactl list sinks" (ran on manjaro liveusb and booted with proprietary drivers):

Oh thanks for removing the marking 🙂

[Prog_UK]

Have you managed to find a solution? I have the exact same problem on the exact same laptop.

[goatedpenguin · Accepted solution]

Yep it should have been fixed when kernel 6.7.4 was released I believe. And you do need to run a script with the link here: https://github.com/xoocoon/hp-15-ew0xxx-snd-fix intructions are on github and don't worry about the model number they have added the model we are using, so hopefully everything runs fine and dandy for  you 😉 

[Prog_UK]

Thanks for your reply, that's great news. I'll give the solution a try at the weekend when I have more time. 👍

Finally guys!! We are now approaching a working Linux kernel for almost all HP Envy/x360 laptops! Kernel 6.9 that soon will be release as RC1 will have a lot of fixes for the internal speakers. As you can see in this commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/diff/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek....

i have already tried patching the 6.7.9 and 6.8 kernel with my specific quirk for my Hp Envy x360 13-bf000 and it works perfectly!

So if you don't have the knowledge to patch your own kernel then make sure to get the 6.9 kernel when it gets released!

The guys from the linux community and developers from Cirrus has made an awesome job, and no thanks to HP. This is why OPEN SOURCE RULES!

[goatedpenguin]

Did it work?

[Prog_UK]

I've finally found some time to try the fix but alas I can't get it to work.

However, I can confirm that audio works perfectly with kernel 6.9-rc1 so I think I'll just wait for the final release of 6.9.

[luxwarp]

Yes I can confirm that 6.9 rc1 works on my envy 13-bf0 too.

You could use the rc versions, seems pretty stable on my laptop at least. And if you have anything bugging out just reboot to an older kernel and loose the audio 😁
