Summary0009696: Audio regression after update (from 2025.3) with kernel 6.19 (model HP ZBook 17 G2, audio module ALC3228 - SSID 103c:2255)
Description

Hardware: HP ZBook 17 G2
PCI SSID: 103c:2255
Codec: Realtek ALC3228 (10ec0280)
Kernel working: 6.12.38+kali-amd64 (module: snd_hda_codec_realtek)
Kernel broken: 6.19.14+kali-amd64 (module: snd_hda_codec_alc269)

Symptom: Internal speakers completely silent after dist-upgrade to 2026.1
Headphones also silent under 6.19.

Root cause possibility :

  • Under 6.12, codec handled by snd_hda_codec_realtek, no fixup needed

  • Under 6.19, codec handled by snd_hda_codec_alc269 which applies
    empty fixup for SSID 103c:2255:
    "ALC3228: picked fixup for PCI SSID 103c:2255"

  • GPIO state identical between both kernels (DATA=0x00, MASK=0x18, DIR=0x18)

  • Converter 0x03 stream assigned correctly by PipeWire on both kernels

  • All ALSA mixer levels correct (Speaker unmuted, volume 87/87)

  • hda-verb manual pin/amp manipulation does not restore audio

The SSID 103c:2255 exists in patch_realtek.c mapped to
ALC269_FIXUP_HP_GPIO_MIC1_LED but this fixup appears insufficient
for this hardware under the new module split introduced in 6.19.

Workaround: boot on kernel 6.12.38+kali-amd64

Kernel or hardware/driver issues AFAICT needs to be reported to dev teams of these, they (Kali team) stated a lot in this tracker they can't handle / track these on their own.

Sorry but we can't provide support for hardware related issues.

I see you already have an answer on bugzilla.kernel.org. Also FYI there's a new kernel available in kali-experimental. You can enable kali-experimental via the command-line tool kali-tweaks.

Good luck with getting that fixed!
