ASUS Vivobook tp3407 sound not working

emaildave · June 10, 2026, 11:49pm

Hello,

I'm trying to get the sound going on my ASUS Vivobook tp3407. My google searches haven't been fruitful.

My search brought me to the following page. Google Search

I then went to the ASUS support page to download the audio drivers found here...

That gave me an executable. I'm not sure what to do with that as it isn't the same results from the google search I did.

Does anyone have a similar issue or any insight?

Hi, as Zorin 18 is based on Ubuntu 24.04 I used it as the criteria in my Brave A.I. result using Brave search engine via Mojeek which gives the following:

" The sound issue on the ASUS Vivobook 14" Flip (TP3407SA) running Ubuntu 24.04 (Linux Mint 22.1) is typically caused by the SOF (Sound Open Firmware) driver failing to initialize correctly with the Intel Lunar Lake audio controller, or by incorrect pin configuration for the internal speakers.

Diagnostic and Fix Steps:

Check Audio Device Recognition : Verify the system detects the audio hardware using:

lspci | grep -i audio

The output should show an Intel Lunar Lake-M HD Audio device. If missing, check BIOS settings.
2. Force Reload ALSA : The most common immediate fix is to restart the audio subsystem:

sudo alsa force-reload

If sound returns, the issue may persist across reboots, requiring a more permanent fix.
3. Configure HDA Jack Retasking : If speakers are muted or silent while headphones work, the internal speaker pins may be misconfigured:

Install tools: sudo apt install alsa-tools-gui
Run: sudo hdajackretask
Select Realtek ALC256 (or the specific codec listed).
Check Show unconnected pins .
Locate the Headphone Jack pin that appears permanently "plugged" and set it to Not connected (or adjust to the correct type).
Click Apply now and Install boot override , then reboot.

Verify PipeWire/PulseAudio : Ubuntu 24.04 uses PipeWire. Ensure the service is active:

systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse

Use pavucontrol to check if the correct output device (e.g., "Built-in Audio") is selected and unmuted.
5. Kernel Firmware : Since the Intel Lunar Lake platform is very new, ensure your system is fully updated to receive the latest SOF firmware:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

If the issue persists, consider booting a newer kernel from the Ubuntu HWE (Hardware Enablement) stack or testing a Live USB of a newer Ubuntu version to confirm driver support.

.exe files for hardware will never work in GNU/Linux as they are specifically for Windows.

WINE is purely used for applications, not for hardware drivers which are stored in the Linux kernel.

Maybe that can help:

VivobookSound.md

Tested on Linux kernel 6.14, CachyOS.

Any linux distribution on Kernel 6+ has non functioning speakers.
The problem is caused by Linux sound drivers incorrectly powering on the speaker amplifiers with driver TAS2781.
While the driver remains to be fixed(?)[2], a quick hack can be found on the e2e forums [1].
Further, in [3] you will find scripts and a daemon that gets the same chip working for lenovo laptops.
To get the same working for Asus Vivobook S14 Flip TP3407SAs

1. First find the i2c bus for the TIAS2781 chip

If the volume makes still problems maybe that can help, but I'm not sure if it works on your laptop:

# How to fix speakers on ASUS Vivobook 16 Flip (TP3607) on Linux (TAS2781 chip not working)
Note: This guide is based on [this gist by rraks](https://gist.github.com/rraks/4edddb99b50b94fe6298adbf3c9f43eb). I did not discover how to do this, all credit goes to them!

The speakers on some ASUS laptops, like the ASUS Vivobook 16 Flip, do not work out of the box on current versions of Linux. But, it is possible to fix them using some magic scripts.

This guide will show you the scripts needed to make the speakers work, and how to control their volume and integrate volume control with GNOME.

This guide has only been tested on Fedora 43 (as it's what I use). Your mileage may vary.

Do You mean built-in Speakers or connected Speaker?
