Subject: sofhdadsp: missing conf.d symlink causes DMIC invisible on Raptor Lake SOF HDA DSP laptops
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 23:47:18 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <189a137dff66e500-webhooks-bot@alsa-project.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <189a137dff3bd600-webhooks-bot@alsa-project.org>
alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #714 was opened from bunaen:
## Hardware
- Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 (21HM002CUS)
- Kernel: 6.19.5-1-default (openSUSE Tumbleweed)
- SOF driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl
- SOF firmware: intel/sof/sof-rpl.ri, version 2:2:0-57864
- alsa-ucm-conf: 1.2.15.3
## Problem
Internal DMIC is completely invisible to PipeWire/WirePlumber.
No microphone input appears in sound settings.
The DMIC hardware is present and functional at the raw ALSA level:
$ arecord -l
card 0: sofhdadsp [sof-hda-dsp], device 6: DMIC (*) []
card 0: sofhdadsp [sof-hda-dsp], device 7: DMIC16kHz (*) []
But wpctl status showed no digital microphone source at all.
## Root Cause
The card reports its ALSA ID without hyphens:
$ cat /proc/asound/card0/id
sofhdadsp
UCM2 conf.d lookup is an exact string match on card ID. The repo
ships conf.d/sof-hda-dsp/ (with hyphens) but there is no
conf.d/sofhdadsp/ (without hyphens) entry. The lookup silently
fails, WirePlumber loads no UCM profile, and the DMIC is never
activated.
## Fix
sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/sof-hda-dsp \
/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/sofhdadsp
systemctl --user restart wireplumber
After this, wpctl status correctly shows:
- Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS Digital Microphone ✓
- Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS Stereo Microphone ✓
## Suggested Fix
Add to the repo:
ucm2/conf.d/sofhdadsp -> sof-hda-dsp/
This likely affects all Raptor Lake laptops where the kernel
reports the card ID as sofhdadsp rather than sof-hda-dsp.
