Built in speaker issue
Built in speaker issue
Hi,
I just bought a brand new LG Gram. For the 2 minutes that I used Windows, the speakers worked fine. Since I installed pop OS the speakers don't work at all. I even tried reinstalling the whole entire OS and they still aren't working.
Thanks in advance!
This appears to be a common issue with the LG Gram. I found the following thread on the Linux Mint forums:

This lead me to an upstream bug report in the sof project (audio firmware):
https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/4363
In this bug report, a user reported running a script that used the hda-verb command to configure the firmware worked around their issue and produced sound. Details about this script can be found on the Fedora forums here:

Anyway, YMMV with this, but I guess this shows why buying hardware that supports Linux out of the box can make life easier. Good luck!
Thank you so so so so much for all this research!!!!!!!!! But it's not letting me move the file to /usr/local/sbin and I also don't understand the step after that. Again, thank you so so much!!!!
Did you try the audio troubleshooting from the Pop! Documentation?
Thanks. I went through everything and nothing helped, so i ended up here http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=cfe7c5cf3476caed4ce97187f04e2393aa009385 Thank you to anyone who understands it and can help :-)
