hello,
i want to report a problem and provide resolution for future folks to save their time and help people abroad as many people as possible to this system.
problem was that i had no sound after switching from Debian 13 to Kicksecure 18:
1)‘cat /proc/asound/cards’ outputs ‘— no soundcards —’
2)‘lspci -k -nn’ outputs correctly my audio card which is:
Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P HD Audio Controller [8086:7e28] (rev 20)
3)sudo journalctl -b > output.txt - reports error with not loading “sof-firmware” package
to resolve problem i simply installed ‘firmware-sof-signed’ package and sound started working.
So maybe just include this package with default installation?
Almost same problem was described here also: https:// bbs_dot_archlinux_dot_org/viewtopic.php?id=306452
I’m a bit surprised we aren’t installing that by default already. We can probably add that to the firmware-nonfreedom package. (We already install firmware-intel-sound but apparently that isn’t enough.)
