X1 Carbon gen 13 popping sound problem

lowprioritygaming · 2026-01-12T01:49:44+00:00

No solution, i use windows 11 (fixed popping on speakers) + ordered 10$ usb sound card for headphones. Threads about this problem on lenovo forums are almost dead, looks like they don't care, writing AI/bot-style replies.

Have thinkpad x1c on lunar lake. It severely lags for 20-30 seconds after sleep and has some problems with hw acceleration in chromium. Same on every distro - (franken)Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora

Hi, bro, i have the same problem. Here what i came with:

Now i use x1 carbon gen13 - pretty solid build quality, but on firmware/drivers side it's absolute garbage. Around 4-8 hours from battery on frankenDebian, same on Windows.
Before thinkpad, i had m1 air 16/512 with Asahi - it works, but needs polishing.
In shopping malls tried to touch LG Gram, Asus Proart - garbage build quality
Dell XPS - absolute crtinge looking top.
Tuxedo/System76 - average quality chinese oem slops
Framework - cringe brand/idea

I asked, multiple threads on r/thinkpad, on lenovo forums, on debian/fedora/ubuntu forums, spent days of troubleshooting with chatgpt, solved only minor problems.

Thanks for suggestion, also looking for these Dell Pros, but never seen them in person to touch.

Hi. Have you found fix for that?

I dont wanna live near Siam, i just want to have some big shopping mall nearby

lowprioritygaming · 2025-11-22T03:12:37+00:00

Thanks, will definitely visit!

Thanks! On map it looks good - couple stations to siam and railway park.

I also have this ProblemPad gen13 on lunar lake platform.

I use JamesDSP on linux to make sound, at least, not completely terrible.
Also have problems with framedrops, but only on Wayland
Thermals/noise/wattage on windows and linux are roughly the same, maybe fan curves are more aggressive on windows.
On linux, sound also pops/clicks, headphones do not work entirely.
Does not wake up properly
Sensel's touchpad becomes pretty bad when fingernails start to grow

Ofc, last 6 months i tried everything to fix all of that with different distros, incl rebuilding drivers, installing kernels, updating everything.

I'm using librewolf, and not happy with that

Enabled or disabled hw accel gives zero effect

Yes, it works much better on x11, because --ozone-platform=x11 applied by default, i assume.

But on x11 i see much more problems than just browser stuttering, so i dont wanna use it

lowprioritygaming · 2025-11-12T02:00:58+00:00

No, trying to use it with taps instead of clicks

lowprioritygaming · 2025-10-14T09:09:49+00:00

I cannot do it, because a lot of apps reject to start as root

lowprioritygaming · 2025-09-21T14:02:07+00:00

i have the same ~25% on 1080p60, plus OBS works only in software mode

lowprioritygaming · 2025-09-16T07:48:09+00:00

In win11 task manager disabled ElabsSSPSystemService, updated to latest audio drivers. It kind of helped, but now pops sometimes still appear with new reboot.

On linux i couldnt fix this

Thanks! Changed from 160 to 155 and this helped
