TL;DR; Still no sound, but I learned a couple of new things…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I finally got around to upgrading my laptop. I decided to go for my fourth XPS13, and this time I opted for a maxed out XPS13 Plus. A really nice machine. However, the driver stack isn’t quite there yet. Yes, I should have read up more before buying, but I didn’t and I know it will be sorted out over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a vim user, the touch Esc key will be a challenge. Perhaps this is where I learn to bind to capslock, but I’ve not come to that point yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after installing using the netinst image with non-free drivers (and my phone over USB tether for networking since the wifi still didn’t work), I had to move to testing for anything to work. Then I installed firmware-iwlwifi<\/code>, iwlwifi<\/code> and firmware-sof-signed<\/code> from non-free. This got me into a graphical desktop and most things work (I could configure the touch pad for tap-to-click, and so on). I run a KDE desktop, so I installed some Plymouth stuff, breeze for SDDM and such, but that shouldn’t affect the issues described here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My current issues are the sound, the webcam and hibernation. The two latter items aren’t huge problems, but I do need sound. Both the webcam and sound issues are known. Hibernation is mostly about getting around to configuring it with the encrypted disk setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let’s start by diving into the audio issue. The early boot process looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, something happens after sof-adl.ri<\/code> is loaded. This causes the driver to just stop before loading the sof-adl-rtl316-l12-rt714-l0.tplg<\/code> firmware, causing the snd_soc_register_card<\/code> to fail. Let’t have a look at the reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First up, the excellent Arch Linux Wiki<\/a> says to include the two firmware files and a bunch of modules in the initramfs. However, Arch and Debian uses different tools to build the initramfs, so let’s confirm the issue first:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
lsinitramfs -l \/boot\/initrd.img-6.0.0-5-amd64  | grep 'intel\/sof'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This call results in a list of nothing. Just to confirm, grepping for firmware or intel returns long lists of files. So, the firmware is not in the early initramfs image. How do I get the firmware files into the initramfs? Apparently I have to write what is known as an initramfs-tools hook script<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There lives a bunch of them over at \/usr\/share\/initramfs-tools\/hooks<\/code>, so I started a very brute force one called intel-sof-firmware<\/code> and tried to learn from the surrounding scripts and the manpage linked above. The result can be found in a gist here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notice that this is happy code. There is way too few sanity checks in there to make this useful to the general public. Your milage may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, I added the modules to \/etc\/initramfs\/modules, and then updated the early initramfs images with this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo update-initramfs -k all -u<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
And then verified that the files made it to the image (I also had a look at the file listing in general to ensure that the image is ok):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
lsinitramfs -l \/boot\/initrd.img-6.0.0-5-amd64  | grep 'intel\/sof'\n\ndrwxr-xr-x   2 root     root            0 Dec 11 15:51 usr\/lib\/firmware\/intel\/sof\ndrwxr-xr-x   2 root     root            0 Dec 11 15:51 usr\/lib\/firmware\/intel\/sof-tplg\n-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        28907 Dec 11 15:51 usr\/lib\/firmware\/intel\/sof-tplg\/sof-adl-rt1316-l12-rt714-l0.tplg\n-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       525056 Dec 11 15:51 usr\/lib\/firmware\/intel\/sof\/sof-adl.ri<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
It all seems to work, so let’s reboot and see what comes out the other side. Notice – this can<\/strong><\/em> brick your computer if you make a mistake. And if something to do with a computer can<\/strong><\/em> brick your computer, you know that it will<\/strong><\/em> brick your computer. Don’t say I did not tell you.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Side note: I run an encrypted lvm setup, and if you try to fix this problem by removing all modules (go from many to netbook in the initramfs.conf) you will enjoy re-installing your machine. I’m sure you can unbrick it by booting from a USB stick and fixing stuff, but since I’ve not really installed anything, I don’t really care.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guess what – after a couple of hours digging at this – I still have no sound…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dmesg | grep sof<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Results in this (yay, a new error code – that must mean that I’m doing something):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
