Great news!!! Got the new machine. Avoided booting into windows, ever, just in case. Executed your steps 1 through 8 (except for the default.pa part... I wasn't sure if that was crucial, and figured I'd save it until it seemed needed). Boot fresh machine, no sound. Apply the verbs - The other set, from that link I sent (the one that has 3600 verbs :/ ). Sound!!! On the left, good. On the right, about 10% quieter but well beyond good enough for me. (Other people using those verbs from that thread have noticed the slight volume difference as well... the verbs aren't perfect I guess). So I was very happy.
I shutdown. Verified no sound after startup. Ran the verbs again. Sound again, but this time right speaker is 50% quieter. So, I'm going to stop running the verbs, not install it as a service as I was about to, and only run it when needed (I shutdown my machine about once a year anyway, lol). Cause I think you are 100% right... It's all just about the verbs. My old machine probably didn't have a busted speaker, I had just ran so many different verbs through, and some had stuck, that the speaker was semi-permamently reduced. And its possible that these verbs from that link also aren't perfect, and are lowering the right volume a bit each time its run. It seems that some things aren't even reset on shutdown, while others are. People on that thread imply that after a day or so, things reset, but I can't imagine how that works or what its based on, but we'll see. So I'm going to leave well enough alone, for the time being, and hope that there's activity on that thread and they get the verbs better (cause yes, qemu seems to be a whole rabbit whole, so if someone else with a similar machine already has it all set up . . .). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851518 Title: [950SBE/951SBE, Realtek ALC298, Speaker, Internal] No sound on internal speakers, very very quiet on headphones Status in Linux: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I've been googling this issue for 10's of hours and tried many things. Relase of Ubuntu: 19.10 Expected outcome: Music plays on the internal speakers and headphones. Actual outcome: I can barely hear audio using headphones with volume turned up to 150%. Absolutely nothing comes out of the speakers. (The speakers sound great under Windows 10.)
