Hi,
Sound and mic do not work out of the box, but you can make them work.
To make sound and mic work:
-
dom0: sudo qubes-dom0-update kernel-latest git tar automake libtool
-
Create new cube called “alsa-download”, and start a terminal in alsa-download vm.
-
In alsa-download:
-
git clone git://git.alsa-project.org/alsa-lib.git
-
cd alsa-lib
-
git checkout v1.2.6.1
-
cd …
-
tar czvf alsa-lib.tgz alsa-lib
-
git git://git.alsa-project.org/alsa-ucm-conf.git
-
cd alsa-ucm-conf
-
git checkout v1.2.6.1
-
cd …
-
tar czvf alsa-ucm.tgz alsa-ucm-conf
-
In dom0:
-
qvm-run --pass-io alsa-download ‘cat /home/user/alsa-lib.tgz’ > alsa-lib.tgz
-
qvm-run --pass-io personal ‘cat /home/user/alsa-ucm.tgz’ > alsa-ucm.tgz
-
qvm-run --pass-io personal ‘cat /home/user/alsa-sof-firmware-2.0-2.fc35.noarch.rpm’ > alsa-sof-firmware-2.0-2.fc35.noarch.rpm
-
sudo dnf install alsa-sof-firmware-2.0-2.fc35.noarch.rpm
-
tar xzvf alsa-lib.tgz
-
tar xzvf alsa-ucm.tgz
-
cd alsa-lib
-
./gitcompile
-
sudo make install
-
cd …/alsa-ucm-conf
-
cp -r ucm ucm2 /usr/share/alsa1. Restart computer, and enjoy sound and mic. Make sure in dom0
**uname -a**gives you kernel version >= 5.15. -
Make sure every time you lose sound, or mic or both:
-
double check kernel version in dom0
**uname -a**gives you higher than or equal 5.15 -
in dom0:
-
cd alsa-lib
-
sudo make install
-
cd …/alsa-ucm-conf
-
cp -r ucm ucm2 /usr/share/alsa
-
Make sure
sudo dnf list --installed|grep alsa-sofgives you version 2.0.2 or higher**.** If not, execute step 3.2, 4.c, 4.d from above in that order.
Enjoy sound and mic!
Best regards
Robert
