[!IMPORTANT] **I just started getting into Linux, and I'm not even sure if this is the right place to be posting this issue. I'm more than willing to learn or improve if I need to be doing something else or reaching out elsewhere :")**
### System - Manufacturer: LENOVO - Product Name: 83KF - Product Version: Yoga Pro 7 14IAH10 - Firmware Version: QGCN28WW - System SKU: LENOVO_MT_83KF_BU_idea_FM_Yoga Pro 7 14IAH10 - Board Vendor: LENOVO - Board Name: LNVNB161216 - Kernel: 6.16.8-arch1-1 - Packages: - sof-firmware 2025.05.1-1 - alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.14-2 - alsa-utils 1.2.14-1 - Audio stack: PipeWire (Arch Linux)
### Problem - On Windows with Dolby Atmos, laptop speakers produce rich sound with bass. - On Linux (Arch), sound is thin/treble-only. No bass speaker output. - In `alsamixer`, only `Speaker` control is visible. - Codec dump shows: - 0x14: [Fixed] Internal Speaker (plays sound, treble only) - 0x17/0x1b/0x1e: [N/A] Speaker at Ext Rear (do not output audio)
### What I tried - Updated `sof-firmware` + `alsa-ucm-conf`. - Raised mixer levels. - Tested with `hda-verb` to enable 0x17/0x1b as output, set gain, EAPD, and connect to DAC → no sound. - Confirmed with `speaker-test -t sine -f 80` and audio tracks from YouTube.
