#89319 — Bug#1115613: linux: Please enable CONFIG_SOUNDWIRE_AMD=m

Source: linux
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

A new Dell Pro 14 Plus PB14255 laptop was installed with
Debian 13.1. System works mostly, except for no sound and
no webcam.

An installation on same laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 did have sound,
and among loaded modules reports soundwire-amd. This module
is absent from the Debian kernel.

Comparing the Config files in /boot, it seems that the setting

CONFIG_SOUNDWIRE_AMD=m

is missing.

I intend to rebuild the kernel with this setting to see if this
is indeed a remedy. But in the mean time I think it makes
sense to build the module by default.

Let's do actually the other way around. Once you can confirm this is
neough to solve your problem, can you please report back here and
remove the moreinfo tag please?

There is a related/simliar request in #1120479, where the reporter
found a minimal config change working for its case, see message 21
there. 

Can you double-check if that covers as well a minimal config change
working for your case?

Salvatore

#90746 — Bug#1115613: confirmation

Hi

I also have Dell Pro 14 Plus PB14255 laptop. I managed to get sound
working in Debian by recompiling kernel package with these additional
settings:

CONFIG_SND_SOC_AMD_SOF_SDW_MACH=m
CONFIG_SND_SOC_AMD_LEGACY_SDW_MACH=m
CONFIG_SOUNDWIRE_AMD=m

The first one is not needed for this specific hardware, as the
associated module snd_acp_sdw_sof_mach is not used, but may be
useful for other hardware. Remaining two options are necessary,
as both snd_acp_sdw_legacy_mach and soundwire_amd modules are
required in order

I used kernel 6.17.13+deb13 from trixie-backports. I plan to
try it also with the regular 6.12.57+deb13 version from trixie.

So i think the minimum config change from message 21 in #1120479 should
cover this hardware.
