  • Many cleanups and small fixes.

    Perhaps a shot in the dark, but does anyone know if this update does anything to change the sound issues on Samsung laptops? For example, I have a GalaxyBook3 Pro 360, and it doesn’t matter what distro I use; I cannot get audio working. I spent 8 hours one day just going through forums and trying various fixes but could never get anything to work.

      Is it because of missing firmware? From the Arch wiki on ALSA:

      sof-firmware is required for some newer laptop models (mainly since 2019) because they implement their drivers with firmware provided by the Sound Open Firmware project.

        I swear I tried all of that and uninstalled the existing firmware, and pulled the newer files. I might give it another go, but I saw on a thread that this is a specific issue with Galaxy Book devices. Someone had a detailed step-by-step guide to get the audio working; I tried it, but it didn’t.

        Yeah, it’s such a small percentage of users affected too. I have other laptops that run various distros of Linux without issues, but my Galaxy Book can’t get any audio unless I plug in speakers or headphones.

        Thank you for the advice.
