No Sound in Asus (Zenbook UX3402ZA_UX3402ZA) after the fresh installation of Fedora 36

I recently bought an Asus (Zenbook UX3402ZA_UX3402ZA) laptop. It came with Windows 11. Before installing Fedora 36 I tested the OS, there was no sound from my laptop speakers but was working fine when connected to earphones. I thought, after the updating the OS (post installation of Fedora 36), the sound might just work. I took all risk of removing Windows 11, after all I wanted to shift completely to Linux.

After the up-gradation, the problem is still there. Tried so many things (almost every possibility) to fix things. I just want this issue to be fixed very badly.

I am posting the result of aplay -L -l below.

Please, can someone help me fix this. Thanks.

Hey Mohammed,

I’m using MSI raider ge75 i7 variant, before you mentioned your laptop I was thinking it was an issue due to nvidia but Zenbook comes with intel graphics so that can’t be the issue.

However, the issue is the exact same, no sound on speakers but works with headphones & bluetooth audio and it seems to be the issue with all linux distros at this point: I tried POP_OS latest, Ubuntu latest lts, and even Kali Linux latest, in the past I’ve experienced Kali to provide surprisingly good hardware compatibility.

I’ll be posting this comment on your thread as well to bump!

I also have no sounds in my ZenBook Pro Duo UX582.
In my case I tried Manjaro, Endeavour, OpenSuse and of course Fedora.
With kernel varying from 5.15 up to 6.0.6
