Internal speakers for Steam Deck not detected
I decided to try Bazzite for my Steam Deck today. I installed Bazzite using the latest image released today (v2.0.0) from Github and chose the
bazzite-deck image. After install the internal speakers are not detected and the only audio devices shown in the Steam Big Picture UI are "auto_null" and "External device". I checked the rpm-ostree image and noticed it was on bazzite-deck:38 so I bumped it to bazzite-deck:latest, but the issue persists.Solution:Jump to solution
Just an update: I can confirm that manually updating my BIOS to v119 (linked in the above GitHub issue) fixes my non-working audio and touchscreen.

Looks like my issue may actually be due to the BIOS. I don't recall having this issue until installing Bazzite, but I also hadn't used my Steam Deck for maybe about a week? I know I did a "Load Optimal Defaults" at one point recently and at the moment, my audio and touch screen both don't work, which is exactly the issue listed here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1147

Any possibility we could get an update to the jupiter bios updater to version 119, which supposedly fixes this issue?

Weird bug, I'm on 118 right now without issue
might be hardware specific?
Either way. I'll keep this in my toolshed for this sort of thing
thank you
