No sound with Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS on Asus Zenbook UX582L

at flag

I installed Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS on my new Asus Zenbook (single install not dual-boot) No sound comes out from the speakers, or the headphones jack (while in Windows sound is ok).

I previously tried with Kali-Linux and it didn't work either. For several days I browsed similar "no sound questions", but it didn't work out. So now I freshly re-installed ubuntu 22.04.2, updated it, and installed pavucontrol, and inxi only for a fresh start.

Hoping someone can help I put some useful information below.

Thanks,

Are there any related errors in dmesg? `sudo dmesg | grep 'snd|firmware|audio'`

@SamO'Riil No Error it just execute the command with no error and no info

Sorry, there's a mistake, it should be like `sudo dmesg | grep -E 'snd|firmware|audio'` It can't be empty if all is OK.

@SamO'Riil Please Check i have updated the output ^

@crazymhedge Thank you. Yes, no issues here. So the only thing to try I can suggest is to switch `asus-zenbook` to `auto` in `/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf` and make sure `Fast boot` is disabled in BIOS.

Also you can try black magic aka hda-verb like written here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1420976/no-audio-on-asus-vivobook-m7400q-with-realtek-alc294

@SamO'Riil I tried your suggestion and hda-verb both are not working

@SamO'Riil i tried using headphone but no luck both headphone and speakers are not working

Somehow i fixed the problem by updating the kernal to 6.4.3 generic after updating the kernal `sudo apt update` and `reboot` worked

If it holds, I guess it would be right to post this as an accepted answer to help someone else with this problem. After all 6.4 kernel is not something normal for 22.04...

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.
