I just recently purchased a new Razer 14 (2023) laptop and installed Ubuntu 23.04 on it. The SSD is partitioned in half and dual-boots Windows 11. Windows 11 audio works flawlessly (so I know it isn't a hardware issue). My audio is detected, but there is no output from the speakers (no popping or static, just nothing).
Using "PulseAudio", it shows a 'Family 17h/19h HD Audio Controller Speaker + Headphones', the port is set to 'Speaker' and there is still no audio output. I have tried several different types of configuration within the application and nothing has worked.
I also attempted to use 'HDAJackRetask' in order to override output to force audio, and it also did not work.
aplay -l
's output looks like the following:
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I also used PipeWire to try and further diagnose it. This is the output of pw-cli list-objects | grep node.name
node.name = "Dummy-Driver"
node.name = "Freewheel-Driver"
node.name = "Midi-Bridge"
node.name = "v4l2_input.pci-0000_65_00.4-usb-0_1_1.0"
node.name = "v4l2_input.pci-0000_65_00.4-usb-0_1_1.2"
node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_65_00.6.HiFi__hw_Generic_1__sink"
node.name = "alsa_input.pci-0000_65_00.6.HiFi__hw_Generic_1__source"
node.name = "alsa_input.pci-0000_65_00.6.HiFi__hw_acp63__source"
Can anyone help point me in the right direction for how to get the audio working properly? Everything else (hardware-wise) seems to be working just fine. I found some "similar" questions on this board, but most people said simply rebooting randomly had their audio start working (usually from a cold boot rather than a restart). At no point has the audio worked for me in Ubuntu, but again, works flawlessly in Windows.
Thank you!
