Speaker working on Dell! Just create this file: /etc/modprobe.d/intel_dspfix.conf

File Contents:

Code: Select all

options snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver=1

Thank you Arleson, your sound fix works with my Dell Inspiron 14 notebook.

You are welcome!

For those not saving changes this script will make a module of Arleson's intel-dspfix.conf file. It's what I'm using.

Dellsound.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# Color definitions
txtbld=$(tput bold)               # Bold
txtred=${txtbld}$(tput setaf 1)   # Bold Red
rst=$(tput sgr0)                  # Reset
function redpswd() {
  echo -E "$1" $txtred  
}

if [ `whoami` != "root" ]; then
   redpswd "Enter root's password"
   su -c "sh $0 $1 "
   exit
fi
echo $rst

if [ -d /tmp/mod/ ]; then
   rm -rf /tmp/mod
fi
mkdir -p  /tmp/mod

# copy modified files

cp -a --parents    /etc/modprobe.d/intel_dspfix.conf    /tmp/mod/

However, the microphone is not yet available. I continue the investigation.

How about using "2" or "3"?
Have you ever tried it?

I tested with values 2 and 3, and the speaker is back to being "dummy". Value of 2 stands for SST - Sky Lake. The processor in my Dell notebook is Tiger Lake.

I still can't get the Dell microphone to work... Any help is welcome.

Higher version is better (iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-72.ucode)

[Ed_P]

Higher version is better (iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-72.ucode)

See this posting from Blaze: Porteus Kernel Builder (Post by Blaze #87701) as to why 63-ucode is used.

[Blaze]

For the kernel 5.18.1 above I don't applied hack with linux-5.1x.xx/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/cfg/22000.c

[babam]

See this posting from Blaze: Porteus Kernel Builder (Post by Blaze #87701) as to why 63-ucode is used.

From the dmesg output, the Kernel searches from the highest version to the lowest version.
In this case the Kernel looks for *-72.ucode as priority.

Is higher than 63.ucode not working for you?
