Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda/realtek: Add quirk for LG gram 16 (16Z90SP)
Date: Mon, 05 Oct 2026 14:35:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ximss-325891667@mail1.uni-kl.de> (raw)
The LG gram 16 (16Z90SP, SSID 1854:053b) drives its internal speakers
through Samsung-style smart amplifiers on an ALC298. Nothing
initialises them, so the internal speakers are silent after a cold
boot, while headphones, HDMI and the microphones work. A warm reboot
masks the problem, as the amps stay initialised.
Evidence (kernel 7.2.5-3-omarchy, sof-firmware 2025.12.2-1,
PipeWire 1.6.8):
- aplay -D plughw:0,0 completes with exit 0 but no audible output.
- During playback the codec shows Node 0x03 Converter stream=1,
Amp-Out vals [0x69 0x69] unmuted, and Pin 0x17 OUT with EAPD on —
the digital path is correct, the amps simply never start.
- Headphone Jack reports off, Speaker Phantom Jack reports on.
- Running the known 4-amp hda-verb init sequence
(amps 0x38/0x39/0x3C/0x3D, cf. joshuagrisham/galaxy-book2-pro-linux
necessary-verbs.sh) restores speaker output immediately.
- Machine dual-boots Windows, which explains cold-boot-only silence.
This mirrors the 16Z90TR (1854:0554) case fixed with
ALC298_FIXUP_SAMSUNG_AMP_V2_2_AMPS, and the 16" 16Z90R-A (1854:0489)
which uses the 4-amp variant. I verified the 4-amp init works on this
machine; please adjust to _2_AMPS if COEF 0x22 indicates two amps.
