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!

    You may need to use sudo to move the file there since it is a system directory.

    Otherwise, if you could provide a screenshot or a paste of the error, we may be able to help you further.

      Genius! I got it to move but I don’t understand the next step, and also the sound still isn’t working even though I pressed ‘run as program’.

        To test out the script, you can do sudo /usr/local/sbin/necessary-verbs.sh. See if that works.

        If it does, then I can explain about the Systemd unit.

            You probably need to install the package with the hda-verb command:

            sudo apt install alsa-tools

            After you do that, try to run the script again and see if it works.

              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.

                    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.
