That's fine; I'm just looking to see if Python2 will work on it given that the 'HDA-Analyzer' tool doesn't work (there's known issues with Python on Arch which no-one seems to want to fix). I'm trying to map the pins and so that I can use the jack retask module to turn on the subwoofer.

Maybe this might help: $ cat /sys/class/sound/hwC1D0/init_pin_configs 0x12 0xb7a60130 0x13 0x40000000 0x14 0x90170110 0x16 0x411111f0 0x17 0x411111f0 0x18 0x411111f0 0x19 0x03a11040 0x1a 0x411111f0 0x1b 0x411111f0 0x1d 0x40600001 0x1e 0x411111f0 0x21 0x03211020 That being said, I'm thinking...

Okay, I've downgraded the kernel to LTS (4.9) and done some more research: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1648183 https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Audio/HP-Models-with-Realtek-ALC295-codec-Linux-Audio-Problem/td-p/6100591 The solutions given here don't seem to...

...so I should distro-hop until I find something that updates its packages at similar speeds? What's the fastest rolling-release distro out there?

...then I don't know what to do.

I've already tried that; it doesn't seem to have worked for me yet. The last time I used it, it showed a different driver and different pin numbers. Right now it's giving me segfaults when I try to run it after a stream of lines like this: (hda-jack-retask:6028): Gtk-CRITICAL **...

Okay, so I found out what lsmod is and does. I have an older version of AMDGPU installed (I suspect that it comes with the sound drivers like Catalyst does) according to some piped output. When I tried to install a new one from the AUR, I got this error: Failed to prepare transaction: could...

@atanere : 1. No success with the headphone jack; the headphones work perfectly on another device altogether. 2. The Arch wiki says that ALSA is part of GNU/Linux by default; I have firmware packages and alsa-utils installed along with PulseAudio. When I use Alsamixer, the only 'sound card'...

Wow, thanks for putting me on the right track. I was misled by the HDA remapper when it told me about Realtek; I've already found a relevant article but I don't know where to find the relevant config files. My GPU is a Radeon. Regarding what @JasKinasis says, I'll scale back my search for now.

I'm using the Linux 3.0 driver from here. For extra convenience, I've got the relevant output of lspci -vv. After I fix permissions errors with the files when compiling it, I get this error: /home/idiot/Downloads/audiodrivertake2/alsa-driver-RTv5.18/alsa/acore/info.c:1065:22: error: macro...

I wouldn't count on it; I've done a lot myself. See what you can find if you've got some tricks that I haven't; I don't have many.

HP Pavilion 15-aw054sa. It's not very well-known and it doesn't show up in HP's supported models for some reason.

The speakers are embedded in my laptop and I have no other speakers to hand (though I can use my other laptop to do sound-related things given that it works fine there). I had found some drivers but I don't know where to find them since I reinstalled Arch due to some error or another and my...

Can anyone help me? I've tried to use NDISWrapper to install Windows drivers for it.

I'm trying to get sound working on my Arch Anywhere-installed OS (I don't suspect that I can go to the official forums because I've used the script); the sound from the B&O speakers on my 64-bit HP Pavilion is terrible and I suspect that the cause is driver-related given that pulseeffects cannot...
