HP Envy x360 — Internal speakers not working (Realtek ALC245, SOF, Alder Lake)
System Info
- Laptop: HP Envy x360 15-ew0xxx
- Audio Codec: Realtek ALC245 (10ec:0245)
- Audio Driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl
- Firmware: SOF (v2025.01)
- Kernel: 6.8.0-55-generic
- OS: Linux Mint (Ubuntu base)
- Working: Headphones
- Not Working: Internal speakers (no analog-output-speaker port)
Problem
Only headphones work. Internal speakers are completely silent. The speaker path does not exist. 'speaker_outs=0' appears in dmesg. No analog speaker port is exposed by UCM or topology.
What was tried
- Latest SOF firmware installed manually (2025.01)
- Reinstalled all audio stack (PipeWire, PulseAudio, ALSA, UCM)
- Manual amixer activation of 'Speaker' switch and volume
- Fallback to legacy HDA driver (dsp_driver=2)
- speaker-test and aplay on hw:0,0 and hw:0,31
- Works perfectly in Windows
Expectation
Expose and activate internal speakers under SOF with ALC245.

@mirronake, the HDA legacy driver can be forced with dsp_driver=1, can you confirm that the issue can be reproduced with this stack?
Interesting:
Codec: Realtek ALC245
Address: 0
AFG Function Id: 0x1 (unsol 1)
Vendor Id: 0x10ec0245
Subsystem Id: 0x103c8a29
Looks similar mixup as #5370 , alsos with ALC245+CSC3551

@KailangYang, @stefdb Can you take a look?
@mirronake, can you upgrade to a newer kernel? 6.8 is really old, at minimum to 6.9 where https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/commit/33e5e648e6311135e4ada01bcfb6ff54be98926d ("ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Support additional HP Envy Models") https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/commit/aa8e3ef4fe5332c2ce33507e874b20d9c0077c21 ("ALSA: hda/realtek: Add quirks for various HP ENVY models")
