This page contains tips for configuring Arch Linux on the ASUS TUF DASH F15 Laptop (2021).

Headset microphone not detected

On the ASUS TUF Dash F15 FX516PE (Realtek ALC294), the built-in audio jack may not detect the headset microphone by default. Playing audio to the default output stream will still work with headphones, although headsets will not have detected mics. Only the internal laptop microphone will be detected.

This can be fixed by overriding the jack's port configuration.

  1. Install alsa-tools.
  2. Run sudo hdajackretask.
  3. Select the ALC294 codec, enable Show unconnected pins and Advanced override in the Options tab.
  4. Locate pin 0x19, usually used for input.
  5. Check Override, and select the following options:
    1. Connectivity: Jack
    2. Location: Left
    3. Device: Microphone
    4. Jack: 3.5mm
    5. Color: Black
    6. Jack detection: Present (disable to constantly detect the device, even when the device is not plugged in)
    7. Channel group: 2
    8. Channel (in group): front
  6. Click Apply now to test, then Install boot override to make it persistent.
  7. Reboot and replug the headset.

After reboot, the headset microphone should appear as a separate input device alongside the internal microphone.

Note This workaround uses hdajackretask (see Advanced Linux Sound Architecture#Reconfiguring input/output ports), but equivalent results can be achieved with other tools.

Suspend and resume

The issue was observed on the FX516PE; may apply to other FX516 variants, see ASUS TUF DASH F15 (2022)#Suspend and resume.
