HP Recommended
Product: HP Omen 15-dh1053nr
Operating System: Linux

There have been numerous reports percolating, around here, reddit, askubuntu, and other spaces, regarding Linux on recent HP Omens having an nvidia device with HDMI sound plus Intel HDA built-in sound, where the Intel device does not come to life and is not available from desktop audio widget controls, though "inxi -A" shows its presence.

 

One-line fix:

Add a line to, or create, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:
options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0

Reboot. Your built-in Intel sound is back.

 

Mine is a 1053; others report same problem for essentially identical (lower memory/storage/GPU provisioning) 1059.

 

HP, please take note.
