Hey guys,
I am hearing beeping sound continuously when playing any media.
Seems this issue is same as below:
I saw the thread closed without any resolution due to inactivity but it will be very helpful if someone tell the resoltuion.
I found a solution in Linux Mint forum.
It is said that adding the line
options snd_sof sof_debug=1
to
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
could help. Add the line at the end of this file without quote marks.
I didn't find anything with sof in zorin.
I just now added it but same issue.
Is the beeping heard through headphones or speaker or both?
Is it heard when playing specific media or using a particular app?
All media & sources.
Such as local files, youtube or any other video platform.
its happening with headphones too.
Welcome to the Forum!
Maybe this can help:
Did you reboot after it was added?
Sorry, I had to hurry this morning, I couldn't write more detailed.
This command only works with intel not amd.
Do you have multimediacodecs installed? They are needed sometimes for special audio formats. If not, you can install them like described in your link at last post.
You can take a look at this thread:

Here is another solution shown that adds two lines to
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:
options sound_sof sof_debug=1
options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=2
You could try this with both lines and only with the second line and look if it helps. Edit the file as root with a texteditor and save it. Please reboot after adding the lines.
If adding the options to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf don't solve your beeping problem, please remove the added lines after the testing phase.
I'd really appreciate if you could give me some feedback on whether any of this has worked for you.
I wonder if the beeping is from a specific sound output channel and can be muted using Alsamixer.
Open a Terminal window and type
alsamixer
Then hit F6 to check sound card or sound cards that are available. Select the sound card that is applicable.
Then hit F5 to display ALL sound channels.
If there is a column of ">" at the right edge, it indicates more channels to display on the right.
Post a screenshot of that alsamixer screen.
You can try and mute each output channel in turn by using arrow keys to select channel then hit M to mute. It will show as "MM".
You could also have a play with "Auto-Mute" and "Loopback Mode" channel Enable/Disable settings whilst in alsamixer.
Does any of that affect the beeping output?
