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?
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:
→ 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
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:
this should make it work, thanks a lot
