alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #661 was opened from Farnaz03:
### **Hardware**
* Model: HP OMEN Transcend Gaming Laptop 14-fb0xxx
* Board ID: **8C58**
* CPU: Intel Meteor Lake-P
* Audio: Intel SOF + SoundWire
* Codec(s): rt711-sdca (headset), rt1316 (speaker amp)
* OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
### **Kernels tested**
* 6.8.0-88-generic
* 6.8.0-90-generic
* 6.14.0-1008-oem
* 6.14.0-1014-oem

### **Description**
Internal speakers produce no sound on Linux. SOF firmware and SoundWire devices are detected successfully, and a Speaker PCM exists, but no UCM profile configures or enables the speaker path.
Audio reportedly worked earlier (May–July 2025) and stopped after an update around August 2025.

### **DMI / board identification**
```
sys_vendor : HP
product_name : OMEN Transcend Gaming Laptop 14-fb0xxx
board_name : 8C58
board_vendor : HP
```
---
### **SOF topology in use**
```
intel/sof-ace-tplg/sof-mtl-rt711-l0-rt1316-l3-2ch.tplg
```
---
### **aplay -l**
```
card 1: sofsoundwire [sof-soundwire], device 0: Jack Out
card 1: sofsoundwire [sof-soundwire], device 2: Speaker
card 1: sofsoundwire [sof-soundwire], device 31: Deepbuffer Jack Out
...
```
---
### **ALSA direct tests (PipeWire bypassed)**
```
aplay -D hw:1,2 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
aplay -D hw:1,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
aplay -D hw:1,31 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
```
All fail with:
```
aplay: set_params: Channels count non available
```
---
### **UCM status**
```
/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/sof-soundwire/ -> empty (no profiles)
```
---
### **Expected result**
Internal speakers work via ALSA / PipeWire.
### **Actual result**
Speaker PCM exists but is unusable due to missing UCM configuration.
### **Request**
Add a UCM profile for HP OMEN Transcend 14 (board 8C58) under `sof-soundwire`, enabling the speaker path for the existing SOF topology.
### Optional notes / suggestions
This platform uses SOF SoundWire with rt1316 speaker amp and rt711 headset codec, and the loaded topology already supports a 2-channel speaker path:
sof-mtl-rt711-l0-rt1316-l3-2ch.tplg
It may be possible to adapt or clone an existing HP SoundWire UCM profile for Meteor Lake platforms using rt1316 (if available), matching DMI board ID `HP / 8C58`.
I am happy to test patches or provide additional logs if needed.
