Linux on the Zenbook 14 OLED refresh (UM3402YAR)

Linux on the Zenbook 14 OLED (refresh) - Model UM3402YAR

BIOS

The latest BIOS is version 303 "UM3402YAR.303" (Release Date: 09/05/2023). All items posted here will be specific to the model number and BIOS version described here (BIOS 300, 302 were known working). Some things might be specific to Arch Linux but should be generic and portable to other distributions. There are no guarantees and should you wish to try any of this out it is assumed to be at your own risk.

Sound

The sound does not work out of the box (at least not on Arch but I am guessing for most Distros as well).

The patch 0001-ALSA-hda-realtek-Add-quirk-for-ASUS-UM3402YAR-using-.patch is required to be applied to kernels older than v6.4 to ensure that the Realtek sound device is properly bound to the Cirrus amplifiers. If you are using kernel v6.4 or newer this patch is not needed.

The ssdt_csc3551.dsl file can be used per the instructions found in the file header. No need to patch the DSDT, this is a stand-alone SSDT that is easily used via GRUB. It can also be used as an EFI var and the efivar_ssdt= kernel command line option. The values are prelimary as I review the Windows oem50.inf and oem37.inf files from Windows in order to extract the proper values.

The firmware files are missing from the linux-firmware on Arch Linux (and most likely other distros as well, until someone submits them for merge). Originally I was using direct copies of firmware files for the similar "10431e12" device that were present in /lib/firmware/cirrus. At the time these appeared to be identical. Updating the Windows OS recently and looking again shows that there are differences. So I am now copying the firmware files from Windows and running the "compress-rename.sh" script to prepare them on Linux.

To start grab the full contents of c:\windows\system32\csaudio from Windows. Once you have these files on Linux you should have something like

$ ls -l

SPKR _DSD validation

Elements are described in the kernel documentation found here

100% Confirmed

  • "cirrus,dev-index": Confirmed by: Simple printk() was used to determine the values of the two AMPs. These are used to determine the index used ('0' or '1') when retrieving values from other elements in the _DSD
  • "reset-gpios": Confirmed by: The driver issues a reset after reading the ACPI data and waits for the reset to complete by polling IRQ status for CS35L41_OTP_BOOT_DONE. If this is not set correctly then the reset would fail and a OTP_BOOT_DONE waiting message would be printed.
  • "spk-id-gpios": Mostly confirmed by: There are 4 GPIOs listed in the 'shipped' ACPI DSDT. Index 0 is the reset-gpios Indicies 0x02 and 0x03 share a pin and are "shared". So by processes of elimination GPIO at index 'One' remains. The 0th element is definitely SPKR the 2nd and 3rd elements are best guess.
  • "cirrus,speaker-position": Confirmed by: Simple left and right position in driver code & left and right are properly outputting sound in sound settings with isolated output
  • "cirrus,gpio1-func": Confirmed by: the comment in the oem50.inf for "CONF_0330.NT"
  • "cirrus,gpio2-func": Mostly confirmed by: the speakers working. Also a "Amp short error" interrupt was received while this work was being done.
  • "cirrus,boost-type": Confirmed by: the comment in the oem50.inf for "CONF_0330.NT"
  • "cirrus,gpio1-output-enable": Confirmed by: with GPIO1 being VSPK_SWITCH then GPIO1 needs to be an output
  • "cirrus,gpio1-src-select": Confirmed by: with GPIO1 being used as a GPIO output, then this is the only thing that makes sense

The patch and the SSDT are the only changes required to get sound working. Again, use of items posted here is use-at-your-own-risk.

HI, i have another laptop using this chip and is connected in I2C too. Everything works great except when rebooting, i have the the following error:

Failed waiting for OTP_BOOT_DONE: -121

I tried to change reset-gpios like this:

Package () { "reset-gpios", Package () {
    SPKR, One, Zero, Zero,
    SPKR, One, Zero, Zero
} },

I also tried 0x02 and 0x03 but none of these work when rebooting.

Any help would be very appreciated.

I believe the files posted in the firmware repo are all named *.bin, hence the need for rename them per comment above.

With kernel 6.7, a patch (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231218151221.388745-1-sbinding@opensource.cirrus.com/ )is added for cs35l41 which fixes sound on many Asus laptops. Unfortunately this device (UM3402YAR) has PCI_SUBSYS_ID=1043:1683 (result of udevadm info /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.0 | grep PCI_SUBSYS_ID) and it does not appear here. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/sound/pci/hda/cs35l41_hda_property.c
Adding correct values to that table might fix speakers. But I don't know what are the correct values for reset_gpio_index, spkid_gpio_index, cs_gpio_index, boost_ind_nanohenry, boost_peak_milliam, boost_cap_microfarad. Last three are probably not needed as this device uses external boost.

Good news, the UM3402YAR (device 10431683) has been added to the table in sound/pci/hda/cs35l41_hda_property.c for kernel 6.8-rc3 as per this commit.

I don't own a UM3402YAR, but rather its 2022 predecessor UM3402YA with the Ryzen 5825U (device 10431E12). Does anyone know how I should go about contacting a kernel maintainer to have this model added to the table? I am not familiar with the LKML and I am assuming it is bad etiquette to directly email one of the persons listed in the patch comments. I built a kernel using the GPIO values from the UM3402YAR and it seems to be working fine with no error messages on the UM3402YA.

@Targa250R I can prepare a patch, pass it to you to verify and would be fine submitting it to the kernel.

@Targa250R I am preparing the patch. In your initial testing did you also require the I2C quirk change? I am pretty sure you would not as that device already has a quirk listed (just a different laptop model #). But I would like to confirm.

@masselstine The UM3402YA quirk has been mainlined since kernel 6.2-rc8, but someone made an error when editing the Realtek patch file for kernel 6.7-rc7 and accidentally swapped the device IDs for the UM3402YA (10431E12) and the UM6702RA (10431EE2). There is a patch proposed as of yesterday to correct this issue, but it is functionally trivial since both devices use the same quirk.

@masselstine It looks like that same patch proposal also inserts the UM3402YA device ID to the table in the CS35L41 property file, so the kernel maintainers are already reviewing it for inclusion with kernel 6.8.

I thank you very much for your assistance and for your many efforts over the past year to help us all get the sound hardware working in these devices!

@Targa250R , perfect. Prior to sending a patch out it is good to look on the mailing lists for similar submissions, so I would have seen this (hopefully). Thanks for saving me the trouble and pointing it out. I am glad things will be sorted once Linus gets the next release out or the commits are back-ported by the stable kernel folks.

After the release of 6.8, when everything works, will it be necessary to somehow remove the current fixes in the form of renamed drivers?

Upgraded the kernel to 6.8-rc5 and sound is working for the first time 🥳

but the sound is quiet. Cisco .zst files are still needed, aren't they?

After a full system upgrade (Arch) today, sound completely disappeared again from the internal speakers. Any similar experience or idea?

I have been using this with Fedora 40 and it works perfectly and is very very snappy. Best laptop I ever had. Did not need any tricks, just install and go. I did not test the sound though since I use Jabra headphones for all online meets.

I have no idea why or how but muting and unmuting fixed the sound. (It was NOT muted originally, I swear, seriously.😅)

Glad you were able to get sound working again. Thanks for posting the update to help others who might run into this.

Can confirm it. As crazy as it sounds, but it seems to be a good workaround. 👍

what about battery life and cpu usage ? it seems high and low battery life ?

New kernel (6.12) with new BIOS (306) seems to have introduced an issue when resuming from s2idle. Every now and then when resuming the screen is either all black, or comes back unresponsive. The system does not respond to sys-rq so I suspect the kernel is dead. As a temporary workaround I have been suspending all radios, this is done by creating a file /lib/systemd/system-sleep/radios with the following contents

#!/bin/sh
logger "$0 - radios $1."
if [ "$1" == "pre" ]; then
   rfkill block all
   sleep 1
fi

if [ "$1" == "post" ]; then
   sleep 1
   rfkill unblock all
fi

and ensuring it has perms 755. Similar issues are discussed here and here. Since adding this script to my system I am yet to see an issue on resume.

Have you checked to ensure hardware acceleration is in use for GPU etc.?

I asked beneath of a friend, and it's solved
