Hi everyone,
I recently installed Linux Lite 6.2 on my Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 14IAN8 laptop, but I'm having trouble getting the audio to work.
Here's what I've tried so far:
* Reinstalled PulseAudio and ALSA
* Checked BIOS settings (audio is enabled)
* Made sure there are no physical mute switches engaged
* Updated Linux Lite to the latest version
* Tried loading different kernel modules (`snd_hda_intel`, `sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl`)
* Checked the ALSA mixer (`alsamixer`)
Despite these efforts, the system still doesn't detect any sound cards (`aplay -l` shows no output).
Here's a summary of the relevant terminal output:
* **lspci:** Shows that the audio device is an Intel Corporation Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller, but the kernel driver in use is `sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl`.
* **dmesg:** Reveals errors related to the `sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl` module failing to initialize the audio device.
* **lsmod:** Confirms that the `snd_hda_intel` module is loaded but not actively used.
* **aplay -l:** Shows no soundcards found.
I suspect there might be a driver issue or a compatibility problem between the `sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl` module and my Intel audio chip.
Has anyone else encountered a similar issue with this Lenovo model on Linux Lite? Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!
