Please integrate support for Lenovo Legion 7 (AMD) sound patch
This is more of a feature request than a bug.
I have a Lenovo Legion 7 (AMD) laptop. It does not support sound from internal speakers in Linux (headphone works).
There is work going on here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208555#c507
Could you please integrate the patches so that we get sound out of the box for this model ?
So far, I have tried following steps.
- I downloaded https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/core/linux515.git, downloaded patch series from (https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/alsa-devel/list/?series=585017). However, I did not know how to patch properly, as it keeps on asking which file to patch.
- As a second option, I cloned https://github.com/PIPIPIG233666/linux . I assumed the author had added above patches (as mentioned here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208555#c507). I did the usual
$ cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip > .config
$ make -j $(nproc)
$ sudo make modules_install
$ sudo make install
$ sudo cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-5-15.10-custom
$ sudo mkinitcpio -P
$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
However, the new kernel does not boot. I am guessing it has to do with all the patches I did not apply from first step. I also have nvidia 3080 GPU.
It would be really helpful if it was applied to the next manjaro kernel build.
I am also not sure, if the work was applied to recent kernel or not, because I installed linux 5.16rc4 from manjaro settings manager, and it did not seem to enable sound from speakers.
