Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320/XPS 9320 woofer speakers do not play audio
Hello,
I am using a XPS 13 Plus 9320/XPS 9320. This laptop has four speakers: two tweeter speakers and two woofer speakers.
The problem I face is that the internal audio only plays through the tweeter speakers. The woofer speakers appear to be inactive.
To reproduce:
- Open https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/
- Set a low frequency tone (e.g. 75 Hz). Expected: sound comes from the woofers.
- Set a higher tone (e.g. 440 Hz). Expected: sound comes from the tweeters.
- Result: both tones come from the same (tweeter) speakers only.
I am using Fedora 42, kernel 6.17.4-200.fc42.x86_64.
The laptop's specifications can be at https://dl.dell.com/content/manual4700340-xps-13-plus-9320-xps-9320-setup-and-specifications.pdf?language=en-us
Audio specs are at page 13 and 14.
I think these are relevant:
- Audio controller: USB Type-C digital audio/SoundWire codecs
- Internal audio interface: SoundWire interface
- Internal-speaker amplifier: Realtek ALC1319D
I am willing to cooperate to solve this issue. Can you please point me in the right direction?
Adding @shumingfan as this device has Realtek codec, it may be we need a codec mixer update.
@andreastedile Can you post full kernel log and also output from alsa-info (see https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/intel_debug/suggestions.html for instructions)? Looping also @bardliao to look at the results -- do we have any leads in the log to say whether this is codec driver or topology definition issue?
