I have a Clevo PD70SND-G, fresh from China. Installed Debian 12 Bookworm (dual boot with Windows 10 Pro). There is no sound. Switching to Windows, I have verified it is not defective hardware. Debian detects the sound hardware and loads the drivers. Tried playing an audio file, the volume controls flash as if it is attempting to send the audio to the speakers. Tried plugging in a headset, still no sound. Please help.

  • If I had to guess I would say it's because the hardware is too new :). Occasionally it needs time to catch up with the companion chips and architecture of the brand new Intel generation. HDMI/DP audio should work with the proper Nvidia driver installed but the integrated audio chipset, not the one ion the graphics cards may need a patch until the full support is added to kernel.

I have similar hardware.

For now, and for you, the solution would be to pass the following option in your modprobe config. Not sure where that resides on Debian, on Arch it is in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.

options snd-hda-intel model=clevo-p950

This works great for me for up until kernel series 6.7, and so I am still using series 6.6, and I can see you are using 6.1, so it should all be good for a while for you.

i have a metabox prime-sr which is just a rebrand of the Clevo PD70SND-G and this worked for me for debian this config file did not exist so I had to create it in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

added line:

options snd-hda-intel model=clevo-p950

I then needed to run:

sudo update-initramfs -u

after reboot it worked beautifully.
