Hi,
few days ago I installed Parrot OS 5 (details below) on a new laptop and I can try to hear sound just via usb headsets.

Here my hardware:

Laptop: Schenker vision 15

Audio card:
lspci | grep -i audio
00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller (rev 20)

More details here:
00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller (rev 20)
DeviceName: Onboard - Sound
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 32, IRQ 186, IOMMU group 16
Memory at 603e1e0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Memory at 603e000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
Capabilities:
Kernel driver in use: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl
Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl

Package firmware-sof-signed installed

The current (default for alsamixer) sound card (without usb-headphones plugged-in) is “Dummy”.

Alsamixer shows a second sound card: sof-hda-dsp, but even selecting it or toggling around mute/unmute doesn’t make any change.

I have already tried many suggestions on the Internet, but without success.

I think somehow the answer could be here: Overview of Intel hardware platforms — SOF Project 2.2 documentation in the paragraph “2. Topology file”, but I am not an expert up to this level.

Could anybody please help me?

Please, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I had same problems with my new Dell 9720 and found I had to insert a command into Grub to get sound all working see below it may help you.

You will need to add an option on GRUB.

To edit grub options:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 to the
end of it. It will look something like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“loglevel=3 snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0”

Then rebuild grub menu:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

After you reboot the system the device should work

Hi @scouser,

thanks a lot, just tried.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work.

inxi -A | grep driver
Device-1: Intel driver: N/A
Device-2: Intel Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Audio driver: snd_hda_intel

The output on the Sound preferences is still the Dummy one.

I have also tried to unmute (also used F5) with alsamixer (or change the card), but no real change.

Any other idea?

Thanks

Hi m8, here is a few links with some info that I also played around with and some files attached to those links.

Hi @scouser,

I have tried all of them, without success.
In the end, I decided to move to arch linux, so at least, if I have to try other options, at least I can easily use the most recent versions of kernel, sof driver and any other software.

Thanks a lot anyway.
