Carbon X1 Gen 7: No sound

16CharactersWork

Hi, I seem to be having problems with no sound being detected by the solus live iso and after further installation it continues. After searching on various other forms I come across one for arch linux wiki stating that a install of sof-firmware, and alsa-ucm-conf should do the fix, but to no avail my sound still does not work. I've followed that advice on the arch linux wiki to tooth and nail, and now I am at lost.

My prodecure after solus live install
sudo eopkg up
sudo reboot -h now
Wait for laptop to reboot
sudo eopkg it sof-firmware git
git clone https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf
cd alsa-ucm-conf
sudo cp ucm /usr/share/alsa
sudo cp ucm2 /usr/share/alsa

I've had no other issues, other than my sound not working.

alsa-ucm-conf is part of our alsa-lib package, so you don't need to install it separately. (I would recommend a sudo eopkg it --reinstall alsa-lib to revert (most) of your changes in that regard).

Have you restarted your computer after installing the sof-firmware package?

Okay, I've dont a fresh install and then just reinstalled sof-firmware and I've had success with getting my sound to work.

Thank you!
