MacBook 10,1 audio doesn't work OOTB
System details
MacBook 10,1
What's wrong?
It requires https://github.com/leifliddy/macbook12-audio-driver There is an aur package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snd-hda-macbookpro-dkms-git that uses a different repo. In my case, I've got sound with the https://github.com/leifliddy/macbook12-audio-driver one, didn't had the chance to try the other one though.
I just installed Omarchy 3.1.4 on my macbook10,1 that I haven't used in several years and ran into this exact issue. I would love to see this integrated into Omarchy. Sound doesn't work in Fedora 43 or Ubuntu 25.10 either so this would be a nice win.
I can confirm that Omarchy 3.1.7 sound works out of the headphone jack OOTB AND that https://github.com/leifliddy/macbook12-audio-driver did not work on my MacBook 10.1 on a fresh install by manually building and installing the module for the current kernel.
Also, OOTB I can see the HDA Intel PCH output device is showing audio output, but no sound is coming through the speakers.
Kernel 6.17 brought some changes and the speakers don't work with the patched driver. See https://github.com/leifliddy/macbook12-audio-driver/issues/43 It seems there is a fork https://github.com/x5444/macbook12-audio-driver that works (no dkms though) but I couldn't test it just yet.

Thanks @e-minguez. I did try the fork as well, but could not get it to work either. But thanks for adding that additional information to the thread for others who are struggling with the audio.
💫 It works!!! leifliddy/macbook12-audio-driver 2. manually build and install module for current kernel. Not sure why it worked THIS time, but it did.

In fact according to the latest changes on that repo, the dkms works as well.
