*Issue : Asus UX534FTC / Realtek ALC294 (Intel HDA Audio) : no sound on
speaker/headphone*

Hi,

I'm Valere a French electronic engineer (hardware & software development)
and I'm moving back from Mac to a full Linux machine using Archlinux. I've
managed to configure almost everything on the hardware plan except for the
sound system.

I've searched a lot, but I keep findings options such as :
- changing the "model=" option for "intel hda audio" kernel module, which I
tried with various options such as 'laptop', 'asus-zenbook', 'auto', ...
(option is taken by driver module verified in /sys/module/...).
- building part of the kernel with a so called "realtek patch" which as far
as I can tell doesn't include yet my machine (by the way I'm not sure how
to do that)
- I also have 'hdajackretask' but I can't manage to understand exactly what
I'm supposed to do with it and even made it working properly

I'm would appreciate some help, and I could even test a future kernel
module patch if required.
I don't understand the Linux audio system but I'm a C/C++/Python programmer
both on micro controllers and embedded linux (Beaglebone/Raspberry Pi), so
I can try to be relatively proactive in testing the various solutions.

If a solution is found (I hope so), I think I would document it on
Archlinux Wifi (I already need to subscribe to add advice on Grub install
on Nvme SSD drives).

I've added to this mail (under) as much information as I could regardin my
audio system and computer.

Best regards

Valère

- no sound neither on Speaker nor on Headphones
- integrated microphone working properly
- Bluetooth Audio and USB Audio external keys are ok (so global sound
management seems ok)
