Windows 11 on Framework 13 Intel 11th generation

  • Speakers do not output sound.
  • Analog headphone plugged into built-in 3.5 mm jack only play a high-pitched squeal
  • Analog headphones plugged into audio expansion card work fine
  • USB headphones plugged into USB-A expansion card work just fine

What do I need to do?

Replace the audio module?

When did the issue start? Did it coincide with anything?
What OS are you running?

My original post indicates Windows 11.

I don’t know when the issue started because of using it as a desktop replacement instead of a laptop.

I can’t think of anything it coincided with.

Hmm, maybe just a settings or driver issue. Don’t use windows so can’t be of help myself.

But I can say that replacing the audio module is unlikely to help if it’s a problem with both the speakers and headphone jack. The audio module is named a bit misleadingly. It only contains the audio jack, a bunch of passive components, and the lid sensor. The actual audio codec chip is on the mainboard. Speaker connection is on the mainboard as well.
