Little things - on mine, the volume level after resume is being set back to the default level, not the last-set level. I suspect that's because it's a USB audio device though.
- sshine 3y agoAnother little thing: I needed to sudo pacman -S sof-firmware to get audio on my Linux. > sof-firmware is required for some newer laptop models (mainly since 2019) because they implement their drivers with firmware provided by the Sound Open Firmware project. Checking the journal will provide messages about the missing firmware (see BBS#275577). https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#ALSA_firmware https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Archit... This is perfectly legitimate, but I had to scan through `dmesg` and find a recommendation in a hyperlink. Not something you'd ask your grandmother to do.
