What for? Isn’t this more of a driver-level or firmware-level issue?
I did not see anybody reply with the answer to this request (try lspci -vnn) so I decided to try it.

Interestingly enough, I was having sound problems before I went through process, but having gone through this process, that has fixed the sound problem. For me.
I have been working fixing computers for decades. The second most frustrating problem that I do lnot know how to fix. The most frustrating problems are those that I fix for reasons I do not understand. This problem falls into that category.

Sorry, I’m a bit Linux ignorant. What does that do?
Techue Zeddie,
I am not sure I can explain it to you. It has to do with Linux operating system internals and BIOS internals. In all likelihood, you do not need to understand it unless you are doing some serious low-level troubleshooting. But I do not want to be dismissive, either. That’s kinda rude. So if my explanation does not make sense, then please ask me.
Full disclosure: I am not sure I understand what the sound card mode option in the BIOS actually does. I get it that you set it to linux mode if you are running linux and windows mode if you are running windows, but if you are dual booting, then what do you set it to so it will work in both operating systems. Furthermore, Linux generally has a “Okay, I’ve gotta do it the way Redmond says to do it” attitude in contrast to Microsoft’s “Fuck you and stop ruining my profit margins” attitude, so I would expect that linux would flip the mode the way it wants or else work around it.
The sound card connects to the rest of the computer using a bus called PCI, the Personal Computer Interconnect. The lspci command tells you what’s on the PCI bus. In this case, I took a look at the PCI bus before I made any changes, then shutdown the computer, changed the bit in the BIOS, then rebooted, then took a look at the PCI bus. Then, I rebooted, changed the setting back and looked at the PCI bus again.
I do not understand why changing the setting and then restoring the setting to the original value (which I think is the correct value) fixed the issue, but it did.
At that point, I have to defer to the judgement and wisdom of people who actually develop operating system software.
I meant what did the commands do?
From my relative inexperience, it looks like you switched one mode to another while listing the contents of the PCI bus to text files then compared the differences?
I guess what I didn’t understand is the -vnn for lspci. What does that do? And what was the difference you saw?
I’m having a hard time interpreting the output.
Does changing the modes make the sound chipset identify itself differently?
the answer to this, from framework staff, is “set it to linux once you have the windows drivers installed”, as once the windows drivers are installed the bios setting is no longer relevant. (but you want it set for windows until you’ve installed the windows drivers, so that you don’t run into hardware errors during setup)
the linux side of things doesn’t seem to have the same kind of capacity to override as the windows driver.
I didn’t read it that way and thought that I can just leave it in Linux mode and as long as Windows has the correct driver installed, it’ll be fine. I installed Windows 11 and then Feodra 39 with the Linux mode enabled the entire time I think. I hope I didn’t mess anything up.
I’m still a bit confused by all this. All I know right now is that in Linux, it sounds terrible but I didn’t know it at the time since I had nothing to compare to, but it gets decently loud. With EasyEffects and the right profile, it sounds really good but quieter. In Windows, it sounds better than Linux in default (left in Linux MOde in the bios), but not that great compared to Linux with the EE profile.
Would all this be fixed eventually, so there’s consistency in both OSes without the need for 3rd party tools and additional steps? I would like to eventually be able to install both OSes without having to edit files or download another tool that uses resources (even if it’s just a little).
i’m not sure why you say “i didn’t read it that way” since your following text doesn’t contradict mine
