I've had this issue using Ubuntu 20.04 as installed when my Carbon X1 gen9 was delivered Nov 2021. It persists after updating to Ubuntu 21.10 and 22.04.
More recently, I've tried the 5.15-generic kernel and currently using the 5.17-oem kernel on 22.04. (No changes to sound quality.) There was a suggestion that it might be a wonky firmware-sof-signed in 21.10 (see #1956215), but Ubuntu 22.04 has moved beyond the 1.7 version of the firmware that was giving install errors. firmware-sof-signed/jammy-updates,jammy-updates,now 2.0-1ubuntu3 all [installed,automatic] $ uname -a 5.17.0-1015-oem #16-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lspci | grep -i audio $ aplay -l are identical to this report, and dmidecode shows the same hardware > dmi.product.family: ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 > dmi.product.name: 20XWCTO1WW I tried a bunch of approaches that did not fix the audio, see https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Ubuntu/Carbon-X1-Gen9-missing-Bass-speakers/m-p/5116727 The "EasyEffects" solution improves sound quality, but does not fix the issue that the sound plays for approximately 1 second at the correct volume before cutting out to nearly inaudible. A nice tweak once this underlying issue is resolved. Glad some people have figured out whatever fix was necessary, even if it was temporary!
