Macbook Pro 14.3 - Installed Ubuntu Studio 24 - No audio

[binks88]

Ubuntu Version: Studio 24

Problem Description:
Hello Ubuntu Community. I am a total newb getting to know this OS. I have completely wiped my macbook pro 2017 (macbook 14,3), and installed Ubuntu Studio 24. Everything works for me so far, but I have no audio.

I noticed there are other posts about this, but a different macbook. I’m not a coder, I’m learning, so I’m not sure if those solutions would still apply to this macbook.

If you could help with this, send me links to relevant posts/code to try and fix this, I will write back with results and hopefully this will help other users with this same macbook

This may work:

Open Terminal and type

apt install dkms gcc linux-headers-generic make wget

sudo install git

git clone GitHub - leifliddy/macbook12-audio-driver: WIP audio driver for the cs4208 codec found in the 12" MacBook (MacBook9,1, MacBook10,1). · GitHub
cd macbook12-audio-driver/

sudo ./install.cirrus.driver.sh -i

Link to instructions here MacBook Audio Driver

Also might be worth installing pommed:

Open Terminal and type:

sudo apt install pommed

Good luck

Thanks Ernmander, I tried that, but it didn’t work. It doesn’t seem to be compatible with my macbook 14,3. If there’s a way for me to post results without sensitive info and you think you can take a crack at it, let me know.

Ahh sorry it didn’t work. That’s all I have. I have the same Macbook Pro and that’s the solutions that worked for me.

You also installed Ubuntu Studio 24? Today I noticed that mine doesn’t wake up from sleep. Did that happen with yours too?

[Ernmander]

I am using stock ubuntu these days, but have had the odd occasion where it doesn’t wake from sleep.

If you install and use pavucontrol does it help? Do you get sound in wired headphones if it has a 3.5mm jack?
