Linux MateBook Audio Fix

This repository provides a script and systemd service to monitor and fix audio issues on Huawei MateBook laptops running Linux. The script uses inotifywait to monitor sound device access and executes hda-verb commands to adjust audio settings.

Prerequisites

Before running the installation script, ensure you have the following dependencies installed:

• inotify-tools
• hda-verb
• systemd

You can install these dependencies using your package manager. For example, on Debian-based systems:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inotify-tools hda-verb

Installation

To install the audio fix, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/linux-matebook-audio-fix.git
   cd linux-matebook-audio-fix

2. Run the installation script:

   chmod +x install.sh
   ./install.sh

How It Works

The installation script performs the following actions:

1. Creates a monitor script (~/.monitor_sound.sh) that uses inotifywait to watch for access to the /dev/snd/ directory. When access is detected, it runs hda-verb commands to adjust the audio settings.
2. Makes the monitor script executable.
3. Creates a systemd service file (/etc/systemd/system/monitor_sound.service) to run the monitor script as a service.
4. Reloads the systemd daemon to recognize the new service.
5. Enables the service to start on boot.

Usage

After installation, the service should start automatically. You can manage the service using systemctl:

• Start the service:

  sudo systemctl start monitor_sound

• Stop the service:

  sudo systemctl stop monitor_sound

• Check the status of the service:

  sudo systemctl status monitor_sound

• Enable the service to start on boot:

  sudo systemctl enable monitor_sound

• Disable the service from starting on boot:

  sudo systemctl disable monitor_sound
