My laptop has no audio but connecting headphones work

artix runit There is no /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf or basically, most alsa and pulseaudio config files are missing? When I connect headphones it works fine.

/proc/asound/devices returns: 33: : timer

and that's it. The only place I found anything related to the card is if I do sudo lspci -vv | grep -i audio which returns

00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Cannon Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 11) Kernel driver in use: sof-audio-pci-intel-cnl

cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards ---

cat /proc/asound/modules doesn't even give me output.

arecord -l / arecord: device_list:279: no sopacmd list-sourcesundcards found...

and that kind of stuff

pacmd list-sources

1 source(s) available.

and no other pacmd that i found related gives me anything

pacmd list-cards / 0 card(s) available.

Thanks to anyone that's able to help.

Are the headphones usb-c? Because those cheat and are actually a whole sound card in a chip

Throwing this out there. Could your plug-detection feature of the physical headphone jack be busted?

Try blacklisting sof-audio-pci-intel-cnl and see if you can get snd_hda_intel to load instead. The one time I tried the sof- driver, I couldn't get it to work.

I’ve had this happen when plugging the laptop into HDMI and not switching back to speakers before unplugging. Plugging back in the HDMI and switching to speakers has fixed it for me in the past. I’ve also had a cold boot fix my audio in the past.

Can you name the exact model? It may be necessary to set the vendor specific HDA verbs for the model's audio controller's firmware at the boot process to get the speakers to do anything... There are many other possible reasons it does not work...

Speaker might be disabled in the BIOS settings. Worth a quick check next time you reboot.
