Hi All, I'm sorry i didn't found time to send my work but now it's done. Please find the ALC298 python scripts and the brightness management of the Samsung galaxy book 12 on my github: https://github.com/Teetoow/SamsungGalaxyBook12
I'm not sure it will solve problem for other ALC298 soundcards but it works fine for me. Sound difference between the windows driver and the linux one comes from software remixing (in particular to take into account the internal speaker response). You will find better results by using easyeffets. I would be very interested in a solution to get this internal speaker response without costing materials, but i don't know how to do that. The brightness has some flickering problems at low brightness. I'm not sure that it comes from the brightness management itself. I will check that in a near future. -- 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.)
