No audio for Razer Blade 18 2023

dinaoexpert · 03-01-2023, 09:58 PM

I have Ubuntu 22.04 running on Razer Blade 18 2023 and everything seems to work fine except for audio.

My kernel:

Code:

Linux <redacted> 5.19.0-32-generic #33~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Jan 30 17:03:34 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A couple observations:
- sof-hda-dsp Speaker + Headphones is recognized by pavucontrol
- Speaker does not work
- Headphone port works and the L/R channels are correct
- Both onboard and headphone mic works

I am quite new to audio debugging, what are some good ways to dig into this issue? What logs should I grab and what should I be looking for?

Sound come out of speakers when you do

Code:

speaker-test

To give future responders some hardware info on your sound chip and your install in general

Code:

inxi -Fxz

I think inxi is in ubuntu. I know speaker test is.

On this chromebook. Took me 2 days to figure out sound.

Code:

harry@antix1:~
$ cd UCM
harry@antix1:~/UCM
$ ls
bytcht-da7213   byt-rt5640      sof-bdw-rt5677     sof-cht-bsw-rt5672

bytcr-rt5651    chtrt5645       sof-bytcr-rt5640
byt-max98090    skl_hda_card    sof-bytcr-rt5651
harry@antix1:~/UCM

Thanks to the internet. Bluetooth I am still working on, sometimes. Head scratching involved running linux on newer gear.

The speaker does not play any sound with any sound testing programs including speaker-test.

Your problem is that HDMI is assigned to card 0 and HDA to card 1.
This can be toggled but it's a little bit difficult.
It seems to be more easy to try pavucontrol:
Open pavucontrol, go to "Configuration" and set HDMI Audio to "off" and HD Audio Controller to "Analog Stereo Output" (for speakers/headphones only) or "Analog Stereo Duplex" (for speakers/headphones & microphone). Then go to "Output Devices" and set for HD Audio Controller Line Out a value of 100% (0 dB) or a shade less.

In the configuration tab, I see:
- HDA Nvidia

- Profile:

- *HDMI* output (unplugged)(unavailable)
- Off <<< currently selected

- sof-hda-dsp

- Profile:

- Play Hifi quality Music <<< currently selected
- Off

I then went back to output devices and see the following:
- sof-hda-dsp HDMI / Displayport 3 Output

- Port: HDMI / Displayport 3 Output (unplugged)
- Volume: 100%

- sof-hda-dsp HDMI / Displayport 2 Output

- Port: HDMI / Displayport 2 Output (unplugged)
- Volume: 100%

- sof-hda-dsp HDMI / Displayport 1 Output

- Port: HDMI / Displayport 1 Output (unplugged)
- Volume: 100%

- sof-hda-dsp Speaker + Headphones

- Port: Speaker
- Volume: 100%

There was nothing valid to set to in the configuration tab basically and there is still no sound.

Now you see why it took me a couple of days to figure out this chromebook.

I'm not really following what you did to fix this.

Having the same issue here.

Appreciate any help.

Yeah I am not sure what that guy meant, still haven't found a solution to this.
