I recently got a Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 convertible 16AKP10 (83JU), AMD with an ALC287 sound card.
I installed Fedora 43 (KDE) with the kernel version 6.17 on it. Everything works great, except the sound card.
With the “HiFi” sound profile the internal speakers are either off (0% volume) or at maximum volume (1% - 100% volume), no matter the actual volume setting (& I think only 2 of the 4 speakers are in use, but I could live with that). The headphones (connected with the 3,5mm audio jack) have a very low volume, even on 100%. I would say about 5-10% of the actual volume they should have. With the “Pro Audio” I don’t get any sound at all, neither the speakers, not any headphones. I double checked alsamixer, but everything is set to 100% volume there, too. Using pavucontrol instead of KDE’s system settings to change the sound profile doesn’t change anything either.
I double checked multiple other distributions (Kubuntu 25.10, Ubuntu 24.04 with Gnome, Linux Mint 22.2 with Cinnamon) and they had the same issue, it’s not a Fedora or KDE issue. On Linux Mint I got the Pro Audio profile working once (by using pavucontrol), but as soon as I connected some headphones, it broke again.
What I already tried:
- Using software volume control (alsa soft-mixer)
- Adding
options snd-sof-intel-hda-generic hda_model=alc287-yoga9-bass-spk-pinin /etc/modprobe.d/snd.conf - Manually updated alsa-ucm-conf [BUG] Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 15ILL9 - No sound coming from speakers · Issue #9720 · thesofproject/sof · GitHub
But nothing worked for me. Is there any way to fix this? In a perfect world the Pro Audio profile would work, but having more than speaker on off with the HiFi profile would be enough for me.
