# Description: I have a dual boot with Arch Linux and Windows 11 on my HP Omen 16 b1001nd with Bang & Olufsen audio. On Windows, the speakers function normally and the volume is quite loud and full at 100%. But on Arch, the audio is very shallow and the volume is low compared to Windows. I've tried using HDAJackRetask, but the Realtek driver overrides the pin settings. When I blacklist the Realtek module, it switches to Generic and I can enable the pins with hda verbs. But the then auto switching for the headphones doesn't work, so I have to figure out how to enable that.. It does seem a bit better when enabling pin 0x14 and pin 0x1e, but still not the same as in Windows. It would be nice to have a working driver/codec so I don't have to configure all the pins myself.

Thanks in advance!
