From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Speakers don't work on Galaxy book with Linux. (self.linux)

I have a Galaxy Book (2017) that I recently installed Kubuntu on and discovered that the speakers don't work, after some research it seems I'm not the only one who had this issue. Others have been able to fix the speakers using sof-firmware and verb lists, I've tried using lists for ALC298 but it still isn't working, I can't really use this tablet without speakers so any help would be appreciated.

Seems to be a common problem to have sound issues on Galaxy Books.
This thread has solution for Fedora and also Debian. The Debian solution should be usable by you:

Here's an arch and manjaro solution to help you figure it out if the above doesn't solve your troubles. :

Didn't work in Kubuntu, I guess I'll try Fedora

My issue seems to be that when those guides were written it assumed I had pulse audio and no pipewire.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

The Fedora and Debian thread solution should definitely work with Pipewire, as both those distros comes with pipewire default and no changes are discussed.

Keep an eye on the issue here:

Just to make sure we're on the same page, I take it that the following isn't working for you:

Download necessary-verbs.sh from https://github.com/joshuagrisham/galaxy-book2-pro-linux/blob/main/sound/necessary-verbs.sh
move it to /usr/local/sbin/necessary-verbs.sh
make it executable with
chmod +x necessary-verbs.sh
Create a systemd service in /etc/systemd/system that runs the script at startup:
[Unit]
Description=Run internal speaker fix script at startup
After=getty.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/necessary-verbs.sh
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
