No Sound with Intel(R) Display Audio and Realtek High Def Audio (Galaxy Book 12)
Good Evening,
So, this is my first post on this forum and I'm trying to make Kali Linux (not easiest to make work but not hardest tho and i need it) work on my new Samsung Galaxy Book 12. Making the WiFi work was a pain but I think making the sound work will be even worst because I don't know anything about sound in Linux, I've made some research but everything I tried seems to tell me that everything is fine. I don't have any more ideas on how to troubleshoot the problem. You will find bellow outputs that might help you figure out the problems. In any case, thank you for your help =). Code:
root@kali:/home/kali# aplay -l Code:
amixer -c0 scontrols Code:
speaker-test -c2 -t wav Code:
root@kali:/home/kali# lspci -v | grep -B1 -A12 -i audio Code:
sudo lshw | grep -B4 -A10 -i audio Code:
dmesg | grep intel Code:
lsmod | grep intel |
I've seen that there are a lot of views but no answer, so I'm wondering if I asked for help in the right place ? Or is my title is not so relevent ? Or something like that. If it's not the right place, or if the question is not ask correctly, feel free to tell =)
Or just if I did not give enough information, you can ask for more. PS: I'm not asking for a complete tutorial to make it work just a direction to search. Thank you so much. |
Are you using Kali for pen testing from this device?
|
Accually, I am, and I know it's not the best device for it but it's the only device I've got for know. And I don't absolutely need sound but it's frustrating not to undestand and find a solution for a problem.
Do you have any idea of where the problem might come from ? |
I do not - I am a pen tester but have no need of sound. It could be as easy as installing alsamixer and unmuting - I don't know what kali uses for sound, or if it even has a sound backend. Does kali have alsa or (shudder) pulseaudio?
|
Well I'm not 100% sure but I think everything comes preinstalled. But I reinstalled everything (not sure everything is intalled correctly tho) so I've got everything needed to make sound work.
Would you have anyway to test if everything is installed correctly ? From what I know and what I've found on the internet, everything is installed correctly but I think the problem can only come from here or from the drivers somehow maybe... And yes, I tried installing alsamixer and unmuting but it didn't work sadly... That was the first I did accually. In any case, thank you for your help |
Apparently Kali does use pulseaudio - I did find quite a few threads on the web about kali and no sound. Not sure if you've tried anything with pulseaudio.
Here is one solution I found: https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...-on-kali-linux systemctl --user enable pulseaudio && systemctl --user start pulseaudio The first solution on that page was to install and use alsamixer, which you have already done. Give the pulseaudio solution a try, can't hurt anything (famous last words!) |
I've tried these solutions, and, sadly, nothing worked for me.
I have absolutely no idea what could be the problem, do you think I could send you anything that might help you to find out ? Thank you so much for your interest in my problem because there is no way I'm solving this one on my own. |
Oh no worries, I like a challenge! I am at work at the moment so will take a look again at your hardware output to see what I can come up with. I'll let you know if there is anything else I might need.

You're a life saver =)
Thank you so much |
OK - found someone else with a galaxy book 10 and a similar issue: they tried installing pavucontrol but without success. Here is the thread link for your perusal: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...98-4175628193/
I hate reddit but found a thread on this here as well with a suggested solution that did not work for the OP but thought I'd include it: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs..._alc298_audio/ I did find that pulseaudio and alsa can compete for resources so not sure if that may cause a problem. I have not had sound issues in Linux for years so can't really give any personal experience in that regard. If you are starting pulseaudio with systemd, maybe make sure there alsa isn't starting as well. According to my searches, the ALC298 chipset seems to be supported in Linux. That's about all I could find for now. |
Hello,
I am also having sound problem with my Samsung Pen S Laptop. It uses intel hda with realtek ALC298 chip. I installed ALSA driver from daily builds and now there is some progress. If I use headphones there is a sound, however it has very low volume and distorted sound. Speaker is unavailable at all. When I add the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: options snd-hda-intel model=alc298-dell1 Speakers are activated but still no sound (or maybe very low). The headphones has clean sound for 2-3 minutes but the volume is super-low. After 2-3 minutes the same distorted sound comes. Are there any ideas? Did someone find a solution? Thanks. |
Hi,
No still can't find a solution, didn't search a lot more tho. I found a few things like you but nothing that really works. One interresting thing is that sound works absolutly perfectly with a bluetooth speaker. I think this might help us figuring out the origin of the problem but I don't have enough knowledge. I'd really like to make it work and I'll keep you update if I find something. Thank you |
Hi,
Thank you for the information. In case of bluetooth it uses different device and drivers. The same applies for hdmi. In my case sound works perfect with HDMI. Yesterday I was able to make it work with earphones. But still no sound from speakers. It is strange. I will try more and tell you details. I will provide my solution soon (I am writing from mobile now). |
I hope so much you're gonna find. I'm still searching but I don't have much hope...
