Razer Blade 16 Speakers Linux

Originally the patch worked for me on Arch Linux, but the last 2 months after some updates, the sound fix script stopped working (ran the script and no audio), unless i additionally close + open the lid. Is anyone having this issue as well?

I have a similar or the same issue. Made this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1j2fmi4/razor_blade_16_ubuntu_sound_issues/  can you give me please some advice ?

Step by step guide to enable sound on the Razer Blade 18 (2023) with Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

1. Check where the analog audio (ALC298) is located

→ Run in the terminal: 

• aplay -l  

• Look for something like this: card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC298 Analog

→ This will be your internal sound device → hwC1D0 (card 1, device 0)

2. Download the script from Kernel.org (or use your already saved script)

• The script is in bugzilla.kernel.org comment #94                                                                        
• Script name is “RB14_2023_enable_internal_speakers_ver2.sh”

3. Fix the script to use the correct device

In the script: hwC2D0

replace: 

hwC1D0 or by the one that appears with the “aplay -l” command, but use this command to replace: 

• sed -i 's/hwC2D0/hwC1D0/g' RB14_2023_enable_internal_speakers_ver2.sh     

4. Give execute permission

• chmod +x RB14_2023_enable_internal_speakers_ver2.sh

5. Run the script as root

• sudo ./RB14_2023_enable_internal_speakers_ver2.sh

6. Restart the system

• reboot

If Firefox's sound is not working, go to the next step

7. Sound works on the system, but Firefox has no sound

• Close Firefox and reopen it. It may have crashed using the wrong sound output.

8. PipeWire not working? Fix with:

• systemctl --user unmask pipewire.socket
• systemctl --user unmask pipewire-pulse.socket
• systemctl --user unmask wireplumber.service

• systemctl --user daemon-reexec
• systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber

If it fails, restart:

• reboot

this should make it work, thanks a lot
