I’ve been attempting to dual-boot Linux on my Macbook Pro (14,1 2017) for the past month. I’ve tried several arch distros (endeavour, arco, manjaro, vanilla arch), but always ran into problems with Wifi, Audio, Bluetooth, or all three. Now I’m trying out Fedora and I’m astonished that Wifi and Bluetooth are both working flawlessly out of the box. Still haven’t been able to get sound working on any of these installations.
I’ve read the existing posts on this topic, including:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/no-sound-after-fedora-35-installation-on-macbook-pro-2017/19820 and
Sound not working in Macbook Pro mid 2017
I’ve tried audio-intel.conf, neither of the following worked:
options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1
options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=2
I’ve tried mac-sound.conf, neither of the following worked:
options snd_hda_intel model=intel-mac-auto
options snd_hda_intel model=mpb141
(mpdb141 isnt in the documentation, but it followed a similar syntax to macbook models that are in the kernel docs)
Here is my output for

None of the above “solutions” made any changes to hwinfo or aplay
I would greatly appreciate some help with this, it’s the only dealbreaker issue I’ve had, and I otherwise love f36, especially given how much worked right away.
