Minisforum V3 Linux Audio Fix

So basically I installed Bazzite on my minisforum V3 and everything works fine except the volume buttons which basically mute it or set it at max, I already tried the solution here: https://github.com/mudkipme/awesome-minisforum-v3?tab=readme-ov-file#workaround-for-global-volume-control-with-the-speaker, but I didn't even have the folder location so I tried to find "wireplumber.conf.d" folder and just drop it there and reboot the laptop, but after the reboot nothing changed and the file I dropped in got deleted. :/

if the folder does not exist and you are told to put it there, consider making it

problem solved

it is not there by default because it is empty by default

Also having the same issue on my v3, hence my post, but yea rebooting removes the file

HikariKnight•1/19/25, 11:52 AM

a reboot does not delete the files in /etc

HikariKnight•1/19/25, 11:52 AM

or in your homefolder

HikariKnight•1/19/25, 11:52 AM

it will remove anything you did in /usr if you unlocked it

HikariKnight•1/19/25, 11:53 AM

and there is no way to permanently unlock /usr because youre meant to use /etc so make the folder there

well now I deleted it and back to square 1

HikariKnight•1/19/25, 10:31 PM

i do not own the hardware, only thing i can ask is did you follow what it said in the note?

HikariKnight•1/19/25, 10:32 PM

and possibly edit the file to match the card

HikariKnight•1/19/25, 10:32 PM

other than that i cant help

Vellex123OP•1/19/25, 10:38 PM

oh alr

Vellex123OP•1/19/25, 10:39 PM

I'll try to post the solution here if I find it for future people

HikariKnight•1/20/25, 10:16 AM

you probably have to adjust the device in the file to match the one on your system, pipewire is most likely crashing because the one in the file does not exist, hence why there is a note about "hey you need to do this and edit the file if it does not work for you"

Hrm, looks like the original conf file was updated, and now it doesn't work? If you dig into the git history, you can pull the old conf file. It should work, I'm the one who originally figured out that workaround, tested it on my V3 tablet + Bazzite

Yeah sorry I fixed this a while back but forgot to post it, but basically what you said was the fix

I just recently got a refurb V3 and learned that there is a v3 version of the bazzite download. I was wondering if the audio fix is part of the fix?

Engineer•8/15/25, 9:08 PM

Pretty sure it just takes you to the normal download

grooby•8/20/25, 7:49 AM

so I have tried the alsa-soft-mixer.conf (original and latest) and added to ~/.config/wireplumber.conf.d. Both doesn't seem to where, where I see the volume slider on the screen but the actual volume seems to be 0% or 100%. Am I doing something wrong here?
