So I installed Fedora 41 onto this Asus laptop fairly recently and I’ve had exactly one issue, but it seems to be compensating for all the ones I didn’t have, because not only have I found no solution, but also barely any mentions of it.
Whenever I begin sound playback, the audio starts playing, but then immediately fades out. Weirdly enough, it sounds like it is slowing down, or higher frequencies go first. No sound can be played for a little while afterwards, but in a moment you can repeat the process again.
The microphone seems to be constantly peaking, and if I adjust its volume with alsamixer, it only seems to reduce the total volume, not the gain; even then, the microphone just begaves very inconsistently, sometimes you cannot hear it at all, other times it’s quiet.
I will mention that I tried multiple things already that I found online for similar issues, including turning off power saving for the sound card. Here’s some system info, but if you need anything else I will happily send it over:
