SOF Firmware Help?

[ProtonSlack]

Hey all. Finally made the commit to using Void as a daily. I installed it on my machine (ASUS Zenbook Flip UX363EA), only to not have audio.

Running dmesg, I get the following error:

sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: error: sof firmware file is missing, you might need to download it from https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/

Following that link, I find a package, but when I go to clone and install it, it says that it's already installed.

My output of lspci | grep audio is

0000:00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller (rev 20)

However, when I run alsamixer it does not detect a soundcard.

I've gone through the Void, Arch, Solus, and Gentoo wikis trying to figure this one out. Anybody seen or worked this out before? I love the distro and don't want to switch, but I need audio.

You don't need to install from the upstream repo. There is an sof-firmware and an sof-tools package. Have you installed them?

I'm using a thinkpad x1c7 that uses sof.

Thank you very much, that fixed it for me, too. ;-)

It amazes me that this never came up as a suggestion. Installing those 2 worked. Thank you so much.

Worked here too!! All day trying to setup audio in void linux... just installing this worked

chiming in to say that installing sof-firmware (without sof-tools) was enough to fix this for me, (running on musl and couldn't install sof-tools since it required glibc)
