+title: Fix Sound for Huawei Matebook
+date: 2026-01-02
+---
+
+## Context
+
+My friend installed Linux on his laptop and the sound just didn't work. Even after setting up Pipewire ! The speakers did appeared with `wpctl status` and `aplay -l`, but nope, no sound.
+
+We found a fix, it works on Arch, Debian 13, and Void Linux (and probably on other distros too).
+
+## The Fix
+
+### Packages
+
+First, install these packages (I am on Arch so I use `pacman`).
+
+```sh
+sudo pacman -S wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa alsa-utils alsa-tools alsa-firmware sof-firmware
+```
+
+Now reboot !
+
+### Start pipewire and co
+
+Then if you are on Artix Linux with runit or Void Linux, you must start pipewire, then pipewire-pulse then wireplumber on each boot.
+
+If you are using systemd, your package manager should have enabled the three services automatically.
+
+You can check if the programs are running with this command :
+
+```sh
+ps x | grep -E "pipewire|wireplumber"
+```
+
+Go check if your sound works now ! If it doesn't, check if your speakers appear in the `Audio` section of this command :
+
+```sh
+wpctl status
+```
+
+If they don't, I don't have any other tips for you. Try searching for "matebook huawei sound linux" in your favorite search engine. You will find good stuff like [this](
