Sound problem in Huawei laptop with Conexant CX8070 chip

bf flag

My laptop is a Huawei MDZ-WXX9X, with the sound chip Conexant CX8070, and I'm running ubuntu 22.04.
I'm encountering the following two problems:

  1. the sound is horrible in comparison to windows (I've dual-boot).
  2. when I plug a Jack cable, the sound becomes normal, but the output comes both from the laptop's speaker and the headphones.

I've tried to assign the model of the card sound that I have to this options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL in the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, like what they said here, but I didn't find Conexant CX8070 in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz. I also tried to assign laptop, which is the basic laptop config (default), but I still have the same problem.

here is the output of sudo lspci -v:

There are some workarounds listed here: https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/3350 The general consensus seems to wait for a kernel patch

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
