[Solved] No Sound after Debian 12 + KDE Installation

[arcturus]

I just started using linux (debian) yesterday, I searched the internet first and saw the PulseAudio wiki on debian website then read the instructions and found out that pulseaudio should come pre-installed in KDE.
I still tried to search the internet but still no luck. Need your help guys.

Laptop is asus rog g15.
There's no output running that code sir.

[FreewheelinFrank]

There's no output running that code sir.

First you need to obtain root with

Code: Select all

$ su -

and enter your password.

Then enter

Code: Select all

dmesg  | grep 'sof\|firmware\|audio'

after the "#" root prompt.

I suspect you ran

Code: Select all

$ # dmesg  | grep 'sof\|firmware\|audio'

which is interpreted as $ <ignore everything that follows> so has no output.

Did you set up a root password at installation? Does

Code: Select all

$ su -

work?

OK, my bad: I overlooked the possibility that there were no messages in the log matching my filter.

Could you try rebooting then running

Code: Select all

$ sudo dmesg  | grep 'sof\|firmware\|audio'

as we want to see kernel messages as the sound system is set up, and these may be lost if the computer has been up for a long time and older messages are discarded.

Could you please run this command and just paste the "Machine" section.

Code: Select all

$ inxi -Faz

Some asus rog g15s seem to need a hack to work. The above output will give us the exact product ID.

Try this. No specific match for the model, but seems to work with Rog G15s with the same codec ALC294.
