Galaxy Book3 Pro - Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

garciabruno opened this issue · 7 comments

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS on a Galaxy Book3 Pro (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1340P)

Webcam is not working. Built-in speakers are not working, unless I run some special hda-verb commands I've found, which only make the left speaker work.

Speakers are secondary to me, but webcam is not.

Is there any way I could make webcam work under this hardware?
Should I contact a Linux maintainer?

Thank you.

I am in the same situation as you. The camera doesn't work for me and I have another question, does HDMI work?

@joshuagrisham

HDMI works for me, even at 120 Hz, but if I connect it through a USB-C dongle like a Satechi it works at 24 Hz.
Higher than 60 Hz on an external monitor makes the brightness much higher than it should be, although this is a problem with Ubuntu's mesa drivers.

Getting back to the webcam:

The output from lspci -nnk shows me a bunch of devices, of which I believe the responsible for media (including the Webcam) is this one:

00:05.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:a75d]     
        DeviceName: Onboard - Sound                         
        Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd Device [144d:c882]  

Doing some google searches with the device identifier 8086:a75d, I found some other people with the same problem in other distributions. Apparently the linux kernel does not yet support this device. 😢

Hopefully there will be a solution in the short term.

Hi both, I can't speak for the GB3 Pro but for the GB2 Pro there are 2 USB-C ports but only one of them is a Tunderbolt port (the "front" port by the power/battery charge light). This matters for the GB2 Pro because what I have found is that I can only get USB-C -> DisplayPort using the thunderbolt port, and only USB-C -> HDMI using the non-thunderbolt port (which requires a bit of tweaking with refresh rates etc if I want to get higher resolutions).

The regular HDMI port seems to work OK as well but I have admittedly not used it very much! (I normally use a TB3 docking station to my monitor via DisplayPort).

I think I remember hearing/reading that the GB3 Pro has both USB-C ports now with Thunderbolt so I am not sure if that is a similar issue for you guys?

Regarding the webcam, I have no idea unfortunately, as that webcam is not the same one that I have on my device (GB2 Pro has a 2b7e:c556 SunplusIT Inc 1080p FHD Camera device via USB and it has always worked out-of-the-box for me)

@joshuagrisham Could you tell me some steps to get more information about the camera device?

Let's see how we can make the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 3 webcam work in Ubuntu.

This command should show more information:

lspci -nnk | grep "Multimedia"

As far as I know, Intel is working on their Ipu6 drivers and are planning on merging them into the kernel soon (maybe at kernel version 6.8, or 6.9), but I think you can experimentally install them, which I haven't tried yet.
