I finally fixed the internal speakers on my Asus Rog laptop and wanted to share this solution, as I saw in my search for a solution that more people have this exact issue. Many found online ‘solutions’ seem to be outdated and didn’t work for me. So here is what worked for me.
cd /etc/modprobe.d/
sudo nano alsa-base.conf
In this newly created file add this one line:
blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek
Exit and save the file (x, y)
Reboot
Done! The speakers should now be working.
- Not sure if this was needed (probably not so only try if still not working) but before I done the above I enabled ‘ALSA support’ in ‘System settings’
I needed to open a new post as my previous was closed already. This is a follow up on my original post.
I found this solution here.
Thanks again for all the replies and help I have received here.
