I have an Asus Zenbook Pro 14 Duo (UX8402VV) that hasn't had audio working in any Ubuntu since I bought it in August of 2023. I'm now using Ubuntu 24.04 and the problem has persisted. Asus seems to have a reputation for this broken audio in Linux on a lot of their laptops.
I can see the audio signal is working fine at the system level, including while using pavucontrol
, so I assume this is a kernel/hardware issue just like is plaguing a lot of other Asus laptops.
I've tried fixes for other Asus models, but none of them work for my hardware.
I am also on the latest Linux kernel (6.8.7) which didn't help.
Here is a look at some relevant system information:
$ inxi -SMA...Audio: Device-1: Intel Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS driver: snd_hda_intel Device-2: NVIDIA driver: snd_hda_intel API: ALSA v: k6.8.7 status: kernel-api Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.0.5 status: active`
$ lspci...01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 22be (rev a1)
Hey @asus, some of us need to run businesses in Linux! I won't buy another product like this.
