Razer 16 - Speakers not working

[mrmason]

Installed 22.04 LTS to a new Razer 16 laptop and unable to get any sound from the speakers using kernel 6.2.6, and also tried 6.3.0RC4.

Sound output shows :

but there is no output from the inbuilt speakers.

Seeing errors like

Seems other distros are having the same issue:

@kstych - Thanks for confirming those verbs work for you.

I'm making a kernel patch for the Razer Blade HDA fixups, can you confirm your subsystem ID? You can cat /sys/class/sound/hwC1D0/subsystem_id (or whichever card number corresponds for you).

On a RZ09-0483 I've got 0x1a583006

Hi @j-m-harris
On my Razer Blade 16 (2023) i've got

➜  ~ cat /sys/class/sound/hwC1D0/subsystem_id
0x1a583006

[kstych]

@j-m-harris sure, here goes

Blade 18 - RZ09-0484

razer-blade:~$ cat /sys/class/sound/hwC1D0/subsystem_id
0x1a583007
razer-blade:~$

This should probably be reported upstream. System76 is not likely to develop a kernel patch for Razer laptops any time soon.

[j-m-harris]

@leviport Yep, will do through https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207423
