M15 NUC LAPBC710 -- Sound on Linux

[semiscience]

Has anyone had any luck getting the sound to work on these devices on any flavor of Linux? I have tried for several hours on Ubuntu with no luck.

On Hardware for Linux you can find the main board: Intel, LAPBC710

Mostly works, but "Multimedia controller failed" .

Check the device IDs from your NUC.

lspci -v

Vendor ID = 8086

Known probes: pci:8086-9a19-8086-2097

Use this to get more information from the boot process:

dmesg --human

The sound controller (a0c8) is in CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL: HD Audio PCI 

vendor: 8086 ("Intel Corporation"), device: a0c8 ("Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller")

Available from Linux 5.4–5.12

Check the The Ubuntu lifecycle  for Ubuntu versions matching kernel versions.

Thank you Hans for the comments.

I still have not had any luck getting the sound to work. I suspect the issue is the flagged "Multimedia controller failed" by Hardware on Linux. 

Do you have any suggestions for drivers?

Hey, did you have any lucky with this issue? I'm trying to fix it too, I found a probe created be someone at: 

https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=50f8ca3c0e

I can't reproduce this probe, I don't know what this audio multimedia controller is different than mine

All you need is "firmware-sof" or "sof-firmware"，Ubuntu 22.04 already fix this。

I already installed sof-firmware, but no sound yet, did you change any flag in your linux kernel?
