Hi,

I just bought a brand new LG Gram. For the 2 minutes that I used Windows, the speakers worked fine. Since I installed pop OS the speakers don't work at all. I even tried reinstalling the whole entire OS and they still aren't working.

Thanks in advance!

The script worked ran this time but there's still no sound. :-( Thank you so so so much though, I really appreciate your help! Let me know if you've got any other tricks up your sleeve ;-)

Hmm. Unfortunately, if the script doesn't work then you probably need a different set of verbs for your particular laptop model. I'm not really sure how to determine which verbs to use. Sorry :|

Actually, after a quick look, I found an entry on the Arch Linux Wiki:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LG_Gram_16_2-in-1_2023

This says there might be a workaround here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212041#c14

It would be the same idea: download a script with a bunch of verbs, run the script, and see if the speakers work.

Perhaps one of the scripts in that comment will work for your laptop.

YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used this https://gist.githubusercontent.com/eddy-geek/ef86267fbec87479aba905302909921a/raw/ script and it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're amazing!

Now... Can you please explain how to make it not go away after a reboot...? Thanks!

Great, I'm glad you now have sound :)

To have the script run at boot, you need to create a service file:

sudo gedit /etc/systemd/system/necessary-verbs.service

That should open a text editor that you can write into. You can replace gedit with vim or nano if you prefer those.

In that file, you want to put the following contents:

[Unit]
Description=Run internal speaker fix script at startup
After=getty.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/necessary-verbs.sh
TimeoutStartSec=0

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Once you save that file, you can enable it as follows:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable necessary-verbs.service

Now, when you boot, this service will run that script and thus setup your audio.

See if you can get that to work.

Thank you so so so much for taking the time to write that! But before I read you message I actually had to restart my laptop for a different reason and the sound still works. This is very weird because it said in the link to the script that it wouldn't still work after a reboot, but it is. Thanks again so much!!!!
