I'm running Ubuntu-MATE on an Asus ROG laptop. I have had trouble with sound before but fixed it using the following:
- add line options snd-hda-intel model=asus-zenbookto the end of/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.confand reboot (source)
- sudoedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.commonand add these before the- [Element PCM]block: (source)
[Element Master]
switch = mute
volume = ignore
However, I haven't been able to get any sound out of the built-in speakers since I upgraded to 24.04 LTS this morning. I can get sound out of wired headphones plugged into the jack.
Things I've tried:
- reverting to kernel 6.8.0-35
- commenting that line out of alsa-base.conf
- changing the model=option to various things found on the web
Sound preferences shows two devices under "Hardware":
- Built-in Audio, 1 Output / 1 Input, Analog Stero Duplex
- TU106 High Definition Audio Controller, Disabled, Pro Audio
I think the microphone is working because the bars move when I clap my hands over the laptop.
