I did the fresh ubuntu 22.04 installation on OMEN by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop 16-k0000 (594K2AV) laptop.

And I found that the Audio is not working, 3.5 mm jack is also not working.

I tried with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as well, but getting the same issue.

Kindly provide the best solution for the same.

Thanks in Advance

First, try running $ pulseaudio --start ,this should enable sound. If not:

Test the current situation with default output.

$ speaker-test

See other available sound outputs.

$ aplay -l

Pick other outputs then try them.

$ speaker-test -D hw:<card id>,<device id>

For example, if the output of aplay contains a line

card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]

Then the command to try this output will be

$ speaker-test -D hw:1,7

Kill all pulse audio daemons to prevent them from interfering during the troubleshooting.

$ mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/pulse_old # Remove potentially corrupted pulse files

$ sudo killall pulseaudio

Try step 1, 2, and 3 again.

Check dmesg and journalctl to see if any errors regarding the sound are reported.
