Razer Book 13 with Debian Bullseye Fix Audio problem

Razer Book 13 with Debian Bullseye: Fix Audio Problem

The Razer Book 13 is my second Razer notebook. The fine silver makes a nice difference to the beautiful black of the Stealh 13. Even though the technical specs leave some wishes open as 16 GB of RAM is the max, the look and touch is great. In my opinion this is the most beautiful non black notebook available in 2022.

Razor Book 13

Audio may not work out of the box though when you install Debian Bullseye (11) on your Razor Book 13.

When your output lists only the Dummy-device, fix that with the following command (run as root):

sudo apt-get install firmware-sof-signed

When i investigated this issue, this hint appeared on the Debian Wiki for an Acer computer that uses the same Audio device.

To check your Audio drivers and devices, run

lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel

The first command should show that there is a kernel module loaded for the audio while the next one shows the available devices.

lspci -nnk | grep -A2 Audio

This should contain something like:

Intel Corporation Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller [8086:a0c8] (rev 20)

Don't forget to reboot and you are ready to play and record audio on your Razer Book 13.
