I installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on my laptop and while everything works great, I have no sound on my computer.

  • Welcome to the Ask Ubuntu community. Your question as written is unclear. Can you please provide some additional context around what it is that you're doing and what you hope to achieve? This will help us better address your issue. For example, what brand/model of computer do you have (this will help others if they have the same problem)? Had you been running previous versions of Ubuntu (or any other OS) on this machine? – richbl Feb 11 '23 at 02:47
  • What happens if you open a terminal and enter sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_intel && sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel please? ` – darth_epoxy Feb 11 '23 at 06:07

  • When I put the command you told me in the terminal, the following appears: modprobe: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use. – AngeM Feb 12 '23 at 00:25

For me the solution was to install the latest Sound Open Firmware (SOF) binaries from here: https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin

Specifically:

  1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin.git
  2. Change to directory: cd sof-bin
  3. Follow: https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin#install-process-with-installsh (for me v2.2 worked)
sudo mv /lib/firmware/intel/sof* some_backup_location/
sudo mv /usr/local/bin/sof-*     some_backup_location/ # optional
sudo ./install.sh v2.2.x/v2.2
  1. Reboot

After this the sound output as well as the microphone were working (Ubuntu 23.04, Lenovo X1 Gen8)

Note: Make sure that the snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 or snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 settings are not set in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT or /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. Otherwise the sound output may work but no microphone input.
