Hello everyone. I’ve stumbled into an issue on both a Dell Venue Pro 11 7140 and Dell Latitude 13 7350 2in1. So the issue is after a fresh install of Debian 12 with Gnome and BlissOS (based on Android X86), which both use the 6.1 kernel… I don’t get any kind of sound coming out. In Debian when I go to the sound settings, the only output I get is dummy output. So I executed the lspci | grep Audio and it does list the Intel Broadwell Audio chip. I’m currently at a loss, I’ll add more details later
I did a search about the 7140 on lmgtfy.com and Reddit suggests that you need to add snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=3 to the kernel command line. In Debian 12, this lives in /etc/default/grub and you can add it to the GURB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT entry (leave a space after "quiet" so it reads GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=3") and then run sudo update-grub as per https://wiki.debian.org/Grub#Configuring_GRUB_v2.
For the 7350, do you have error messages in sudo journalctl like this Device with ID register 0x... is not rt286 – there’s a patch that should be in 6.1 kernel to work with the control pin signaling of the sound chipset as per https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ . Unfortunately, I don’t have a suggestion how to resolve this one.
K3n.

On my venue pro, that did the trick.
As for the 7350, I’m going to have to send it back to the seller; it seems to have a MASSIVE issue with ghost touch on the touch screen. Also even in Windows it’s having issues with the sound not working.
