CS35L41 amplifiers in an ASUS Zenbook on linux

Asus Zenbook UX3402 speakers on Linux

Important

THIS IS NOW OBSOLETE WITH KERNEL VERSIONS ≥ 6.7.0

A recent announcement in the kernel mail list by Cirrus developers will solve the problem described here. Therefore, the proposed solutions will be soon obsolete. See this comment (thanks, @flukejones, for the tip).

I got the speakers working on my Asus Zenbook 14 OLED UX3402, the one with Intel CPU and the two CS35L41 audio amplifiers connected over SPI (not the UM3402YA, with AMD and I²C). The amplifiers are supported by the snd_hda_scodec_cs35l41 module in recent kernel versions, but they require some model-specific configuration paramaters, that should be provided by the BIOS, via ACPI. Of course, they are missing. It seems that the Windows drivers have those parameters somehow hardcoded, instead of using ACPI (bad idea, but who am I to criticise). Since Asus has been nasty and refused/was not able to update the BIOS with the missing data, I have patched the ACPI tables myself.

Warning

As stated by Cirrus developers, if you try this there is a non-zero (low, I hope) possibility of blowing your speakers. Take into account that this procedure is not just configuring your box, it is hardware-level hacking with very scarce information about the hardware (thank you, ASUS, and thank you, Cirrus, for not publishing the CS35L41 datasheet and making it only available by request). Additionally, You should know how to work with DSDT or SSDT files (I have a brief guide here) and how to recover from a non booting system. You are on your own. You have been warned.

Note

I have used the patch for some months, and everything seems OK. As you can see, the most recent versions do not require electrical parameters to be specified, just providing the functions of several GPIO pins, that are already present in the original BIOS, and the behavior associated to them. I am almost sure that the patch is totally safe.

My BIOS is the most recent one (version 310). I have added two _DSD objects in the SSDT file (ssdt_csc3551.dsl, or its already assembled version, ssdt_csc3551.aml):

• One inside the SPK1 device, providing the missing "cirrus,dev-index" and other properties, just like the I2C models. You can also provide these properties by patching the kernel module (the linux/sound/pci/hda/cs35l41_hda.c file).

• Another one, after the SPK1 device, with the chip select GPIOs, "cs-gpios", required by the SPI bus (the somehow simpler I²C bus does not use chip select pins, but addresses). Without this _DSD object, only one amplifier can be addressed and activated. In this case, the driver refuses to load even for this single working amplifier.

Obsolete: DSDT patch

Instead of applying a SSDT file, you may patch the full DSDT dissassembled DSDT file (dsdt.dsl). This was my original solution (thanks to @thor2002ro for pointing to the simpler, nicer SSDT solution, see the comment, especially if you use grub). The patch is available for reference, just apply the SSDT file.

Obsolete: internal boost

I keep the old, original patch, that produced AMP short error messages when the volume was high enough, for reference. Please try first the simpler patch with external boost, that seems to work without flaws (thanks to @bdandy, see the comment).

The "Falling back to default firmware" disappears if spk-id-gpios are provided (the block is commented in the patch). As a result, a different firmware is loaded, resulting in very low volume and strong distortion. If the new patch is used, that uses external boost, the sound is correct, and the log is

I'm testing the release candidate on Manjaro.

Horrible, crackling sound from speakers on the ASUS Zenbook Q529Z.

I guess I have tried everything I could find online to fix this. I tried KDE and Gnome on different distros (I am on KDE Manjaro, no dual boot), but the problem persists.

The patch in the kernel for my model seems to be:

SND_PCI_QUIRK (0x1043, 0x1da2, "ASUS UP6502ZA/ZD", ALC245_FIXUP_CS35L41_SPI_2)

with the difference that my particular laptop is on ALC294. Could this be what causes the problem?

Thanks a lot. I am trying every new kernel released by Manjaro, was experimenting with symlinks, but none of them helped, so removed them.

The original entries in lib/firmware/cirrus for 1da2 look like this:

Different solutions proposed here and there for ALC294 did not work either.

Sound seems to be clear only at an almost inaudible level, with a bit of volume up it gets very distorted.

hi,I also had issues with my ROG Strix SCAR 16 G634JZR, which is very quiet and gets distorted as the volume gets louder!

OS: Arch Linux
Kernel Version: Linux 6.10.3-zen1-2-zen
Firmware Version : G634JZR.316

@159356-1702-Extramural your laptop is patched in upstream kernel (my patch was accepted last week). This should be in next 6.10 version, and in 6.11-RC3. You will need latest firmware.

I am getting bad sound quality on latest kernel unless the volume is low(<50%), I am runing mainline kernel.

the volume at >50% feels ok, but it starts getting a bit of crackling and bass which makes human voice annoying in audio calls
(or maybe I am just imagining it and that's just the way this hardware is supposed to work, I wiped Windows so I can't compare)

My active quirk in mainline is

SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1c03, "ASUS UM3406HA", ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2)

Is there something else that can be done or was done to similar machines?

also, looks like I am already running latest firmware on Fedora which is https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=fe07c4bdd435c623fdf215bb0d94f9e6f838e164

the commit you were referring to is probably torvalds/linux@e6e1802

would ALC285_FIXUP_ASUS_SPI_REAR_SPEAKERS be a better quirk for my hardware too by any chance?

Hi guys!

I tried to read the whole thread but sorry if missed out important info.

I have an UX3405MA, installed the following patch, but the audio is still really quiet.

https://github.com/smallcms/asus_zenbook_ux3405ma

Is there anything that can be done extra to fix this issue? I'm dual booting windows, on Windows it works miles better.

I'm on kernel 6.10.7-200.fc40.x86_64

@danee940 , you'll get answers on this thread for the UX3405: smallcms/asus_zenbook_ux3405ma#7

tldr; wait for the Linux kernel 6.11 to come out, or build the kernel with the patch mentioned there.

Thank you @paul-ri !

I think I'll wait for the next kernel. But hope is not lost, that's great!

Serial bus multi instantiate pseudo device driver CSC3551:00: Instantiated 2 SPI devices.

It looks like it has two amps with a shared reset gpio. Not entirely sure what to do as my knowledge of iASL / ACPI is very limited.

My SSDT patch is below:

                } }
            }
        })
    }
}

I tried changing reset-gpios to Zero, Zero Zero, still nothing.

If anyone has any ideas i would appreciate it. This is a very new model, not sure when it will be supported if ever.

@radupotop I have the same model, and have everything working by now except for the speakers. For the Wi-Fi to work I had to compile a kernel from the latest git branch yesterday, the firmware showed up in linux-firmware git only a couple of days ago. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions on that part.

Wow, the patch you posted takes me back 20 years when I started with Linux and was writing ALSA configuration files to get my sound card to work properly... So, have you made any progress on the speakers?

@stiobhan Thanks, it's the first time I'm hacking ACPI tables, so this is still very new to me. Up until now I've only used (older) Dell machines which worked fine out of the box with Linux.

I could not get the sound to work at all on the ExpertBook, which is a deal-breaker for me.
This is how far I've made it:

journalctl -b -1 | grep -i csc3551

Unfortunately I had to return the laptop.

I did notice the Wi-Fi issue as you mentioned -- but I imagine this is something that will get sorted once the iwlwifi-bz-b0-gf-a0-9x firmware gets merged upstream.

Tested 3.5 mm jack phone headset (TRRS plug) once again with Asus UX3402VA and the latest Manjaro (6.12 kernel) but it's still doesn't work (microphone isn't working). The problem can be observed from the 6.5.0-17 kernel version (on Linux Mint) and above.

Diff between 6.5.0-15 and 6.5.0-17 is huge, so I have a lack of knowledge to find the root cause. If someone wants to collaborate and fix it, just let me know.

Having similar issue with Alienware x16 R2 which seems to be using the same chip.
Running on 6.12.3

I guess I need to figure out how to tweak this fix for my HW, unless it is supposed to work out of the box...

@stiobhan @radupotop i have the same laptop ASUS EXPERTBOOK P5405CSA with latest BIOS P5405CSA.314 12/26/2024. I was able to get speakers working by patching and recompiling the <your_kernel_source_root>/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c file with:
SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1f63, "ASUS P5405CSA", ALC245_FIXUP_CS35L41_SPI_2),

Copied firmware files from Windows installation: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\csaudioext.inf_amd64_d6d4d68330f8c2d2\tunings\ASUS_P5405_10431F63_240605

Renamed files to:
10431F63_240603_V0_A0.bin -> cs35l41-dsp1-spk-prot-10431f63-r0.bin
10431F63_240531_V0_A1.bin -> cs35l41-dsp1-spk-prot-10431f63-l0.bin

10431F63_240531_V0_A1_cal.bin -> cs35l41-dsp1-spk-cali-10431f63-l0.bin

Moved resulting files to:
/lib/firmware/cirrus/

Made links to correct .wmfw in the /lib/firmware/cirrus folder (multiple revisions of firmware avaliable, used the same as on Windows install):
ln -s cs35l41/v6.83.0/halo_cspl_RAM_revB2_29.85.0.wmfw cs35l41-dsp1-spk-prot-10431f63-l0.wmfw

Made links to chosen .bincfg in the /lib/firmware/cirrus folder (multiple configs available for 14,5/16,5/19,5dB, you can see it in the filename):
ln -s cs35l41/bincfgs/cs35l41-dsp1-14_5dB.bincfg cs35l41-dsp1-spk-prot-10431f63-l0.bincfg
ln -s cs35l41/bincfgs/cs35l41-dsp1-14_5dB.bincfg cs35l41-dsp1-spk-prot-10431f63-r0.bincfg

After that speakers works as expected. Thank you @lamperez for your work, it brought me to my solution.

Can people please submit these simple one-line quirks upstream? It's very very simple to do and most often they are accepted quickly and merged to all stable releases too. See https://git-send-email.io/ for an excellent guide

@LK7R thank you so much for sharing! I was still waiting for Cirrus to push an update as someone from their team said "we're working on it". I'm rebuilding my kernel right now to test your patch. I already updated to BIOS 314 a while ago.

Regarding the firmware files, instead of bothering to boot Windows I got them from the driver package found on the Asus support site

Audio Driver Package(WIN11_24H2)
Version 04.00
602.59 MB
2025/02/15
SHA-256 ：1AD6F08359AB2FEF2AC5F350E7D9885207398A848B27C2BF4BF4BC0B083906D1

It is a zip file and after extracting it the files can be found in SmartAMP/Cirrus/SmartAMP_Cirrus_CC_Cirrus_Z_V23.26.47.802_38730/csaudioext/tunings/ASUS_P5405_10431F63_240605.

Updated my previous answer, there was L/R channel mixup and added link to .bincfg files that are included in cirrus firmware package. Also updated typo in .bincfg link pointed out by @stiobhan

@LK7R For me it worked already without the bincfg links. I think you still have a typo left there in the second last line:

ln -s cs35l41/bincfgs/cs35l41-dsp1-14_5dB.bincfg cs35l41-dsp1-spk-prot-10431f63-rl.bincfg

should be -l0.bincfg instead of -rl.bincfg I suppose.

By the way I am putting these extra files in /lib/firmware/updates/cirrus/, to make it easier to keep track of the firmware files I copied in versus the ones coming from system packages.

@stiobhan typo fixed, glad it worked for you. Those .bincfg files tells the amplifier what level of amplification in dB it should use. You link to file that has desired aplification level (default without .bincfg is 17db).

Folder with .bincfg files:
/lib/firmware/cirrus/cs35l41/bincfgs

Levels as name of file suggests:

cs35l41-dsp1-14_5dB.bincfg -> 14.5dB
cs35l41-dsp1-16_5dB.bincfg -> 16.5dB  
cs35l41-dsp1-19_5dB.bincfg -> 19.5dB

Thank you so much @LK7R, this is very useful. I no longer have the Expertbook P5405CSA to test, but I'm now considering getting one.
As others have suggested, if you can take the time to upload these changes upstream it would have a significantly wider impact on the community. 🙏

I was able to get speakers working by patching and recompiling the <your_kernel_source_root>/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c file with:
SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1f63, "ASUS P5405CSA", ALC245_FIXUP_CS35L41_SPI_2),

Thank you for your help. On Fedora 41 Workstation, just adding the line without copying bin files and then compiling the latest kernel (6.14.0rc3) worked flawlessly. Finally, this laptop works great with Linux.

Oh indeed @muaiyadh, without these specific firmware files in place it does have a fallback:

I can confirm the patch work perfectly with the P5405CSA. Maybe the volume is a bit lower compared to Windows, but I have to reinstall it to do some testing.
Still, it's good enough.
Thank you guys!

Patch was merged into kernel 6.14, compiled, tested, works, happy days!

Folks, can anyone please help understand the logs related to my audio chipset (CSC3551) on G634JY running Fedora 42 (6.14.2)

Why do I have

cs35l41-hda spi0-CSC3551:00-cs35l41-hda.0: Enable(1) failed: -110
cs35l41-hda spi0-CSC3551:00-cs35l41-hda.1: Enable(1) failed: -110

When I have audio working in duplex mode? Is this the reason why Analog Surround 4.0 is not working?

Also, What's up with the hardcoded Windows path of someone in the log. I had removed all the custom patches to make the audio work as the support is now in upstream; did I fail to remove anything?
