Intel Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Audio, no audio
by anothernewbie123 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6P2J9)
I installed Debian 12.6 on an Acer Aspire 3 (A315-58), model N20C5. No sound comes out of speakers or headphones. A video plays but there is no audio playback. I also tried Fedora 40, same problem.
I installed blueman/stable 2.3.5-2+b1 amd64 (Graphical bluetooth manager). After clicking the menu entry, Bluetooth Manager would show up for about one second and then the window would disappear.
