Speaker not outputting any sound

Issues & Assistance
1

Hey everyone! I just recently installed CachyOS on my Legion 7i Gen 7, and I have noticed that the internal speaker in the laptop does not output any sound. Using speaker-test does not output any error nor using journalctl produce any errors.

Interestingly the speaker works on the external monitor connected via HDMI, and works on all Fedora derive distros. (Debian also doesn’t seem to work?)

What could be the problem in this situation?

Also, sorry for all the trouble in advance, I am still relatively new to Linux and definitely new to Arch.

Thanks!

Here are some additional information, I did some testing on Fedora KDE Live as well (since the speaker works there perfectly)

Could be a quirk fedora is applying. Let me take a look some time soon.

4

When you say this, do you mean the live environment or the installed system? I’m looking at [PATCH] ALSA: hda/realtek: Fix quirk matching for Legion Pro 7 - Takashi Iwai

5

Both Live environment and installed system appear to work. I was using Fedora 41 KDE Live

My laptop model is 16IAX7, which I see on this line in the link you provided?

SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x17aa, 0x386f, "Legion Pro 7i 16IAX7", ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2),

6

Which kernel was installed on F41 if you don’t mind me asking?

7

FEDORA KDE LIVE

liveuser@localhost-live:~$ uname -r
6.11.4-301.fc41.x86_64

CACHYOS

❯ uname -r

6.13.2-2-cachyos

8

had same problem on my msi claw i would lose sound everytime i launch game what worked for me was uninstall pulseaudio and reinstal pulse pipe

9

For me the speaker just refuse to work at all, not in games or in YouTube or anywhere.

10

do you have easyeffects installed by any chance?it was giving me issues too

11

No, it’s a new install. Nothing installed and the speaker doesn’t work (works on headphones and HDMI external monitor)

12

Go to repo packages and check whats installed there looks up pulse and check if pulseaudio is installed

13

Pulseaudio is already installed. I installed it when I tried to debug it myself

14

Uninstall it and reinstall pulse pipewire

15

If that don’t work yet different kernel version

16

The breaking commit seems to be from 6.12.5 so can you try a newer kernel on Fedora too :slight_smile:

17

Sorry for the late reply, I was a bit busy yesterday.

I installed Fedora and upgraded to 6.12.13-200 and the speaker doesn’t work now.

Is this a known issue that will get fixed in later kernel update or do I have to apply some kind of manual patch going forward?

18

Can you show me the output of lscpi -vnn?

19

Sure thing here’s Fedora

And here’s CachyOS

20

Sorry for the lack of reply, but can you test 6.13.3? The above patch that I linked has only been merged as of 6.13.3.
