Same here actually, I believe Samsung used the same hardware. > I think there may already be a fix out there for the metallic sound issue Yeah, my bad. I did quick test and start typing response, sorry. It is PulseAudio that mess up my audio. When I bypass PA, sound is perfect. I compared it to Windows. Windows is a lot louder like 35% is already loud, on Linux it is ~75%. But it is perfectly fine. As for quality, this would need proper testing, if everything is on par. Also those are laptop speakers, so it doesn't matter much, one wouldn't listen to music and expect quality output on those tiny speakers :) > I am not sure what the samsung settings thingy is I meant Samsung Setting application (Fn+F1), there are 4 audio profiles to select and I believe they adjust amp/dac parameters when switching them, but that's not that important. -- 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 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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%.
