No sound cards detected on Lenovo IdeaPad S540-13IML with i7-10510U

[chrysophylax]

Hi,

Booting a recent Clear Linux live USB to verify basic functioning of the desktop on a Lenovo S540 13IML bought in 2020 we discovered that everything was fine except the sound card.

This thing is as close to as Intel-stuffed as you can be so it' d be nice if it could have a great desktop experience with Intel's own distribution 💃

I cross-filed the bug with the SOF project since I'm unable to determine if it's an Intel ClearLinux issue or a Sound Open Firmware issue at https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/issues/2418

[ahkok]

Please check sudo dmesg and see if there's any relevant messages related to 00:1f.3...

[chrysophylax]

I'm unfortunately not able to grok what exactly this chain of messages indicates. I see that it 'failed to load DSP firmware' although it doesn't tell >me< much about where the issue is. 😕

[ahkok]

Direct firmware load for intel/sof/sof-cml.ri failed with error -2

[ahkok]

The sound card is detected, firmware loading failed, because, the firmware files are not in the appropriate release or project (yet).

[chrysophylax]

So that's what -2 means! Thanks for clarifying.

[ahkok]

I've added the firmwares to our packages but we still need the topology stuff, so, This likely needs a few more days until we have it figured out.

[thiagomacieira]

-2 is ENOENT ("No such file or directory")

[chrysophylax]

@ahkok thanks for the update. Once sound is in, I'd almost dare call this the ideal linux lappy wrt hardware compatibility.

[chrysophylax]

@ahkok we're having oops & hangs on 5.5.6 with the SOF intel drivers in the other thread ( https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/issues/2418 ). Is there a guide on how to bisect the ClearLinux kernel builds ?
