NPU has now been tested & works! https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_Zenbook_UM5606#NPU

@VanKurt you might also need to do install/enable these services: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_Zenbook_UM5606#Power_management

P.S. it's normal/expected behavior for linux-firmware-git to include amd-ucode-git :)

A reminder to please take discussions about these patches on other distros to an appropriate channel :)

@VanKurt, I've tested the latest version of the official Arch kernel (v6.12.1) paired with the latest version of the official linux-firmware package (v20241111) and my laptop was quite stable (as long as the amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x600 kernel parameter remains on).

Things not working on v6.12 kernel for me:

  • "thin" sound on laptop speakers (not much of a problem if you have an USB sound card or headset);
  • NPU (which I wouldn't use anyways);

In order to get rid of the 10 seconds delay on resuming from sleep, I also had to apply the services to bind/unbind the WiFi card on resume/suspend described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_Zenbook_UM5606 (on Power Management section)

@VanKurt

TL;DR try this package and the upstream kernel, depending on your luck one or the other will work better for you, neither are perfect

  • "thin" sound can be fixed by updating to the latest version of this package, or manually patching the alsa patch to your kernel
  • there's currently no programs that can take advantage of the NPU, so unless you're actively hacking on llama.cpp/ollama/etc there's no major benefit
  • Not sure where you got the idea of bad CPU performance/power management from
  • linux-firmware-amd-staging-um5606-git: that was only relevant a few months ago back when random freezes were far more of an issue with the GPU (which is no longer an issue).

Thanks for updating, @That1Calculator! No worries at all.

So, if I use the mainline kernel (6.12) and the kernel parameter (amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x600), will the laptop run more or less stable? Which issues are to be expected ("thin" sound? NPU not working? Bad CPU performance/power management?)? And which of these issues can currently be fixed by linux-mainline-um5606A and/or linux-firmware-amd-staging-um5606-git?

@emfol @MrQ apologies for the sloppy mistakes last night, updated while I was very jetlagged lol

emfol commented on 2024-12-02 14:37 (UTC)

Hey, @MrQ. The maintainer might have the fix merged in soon but you need to apply the changes from http://0x0.st/X7-t.diff to your local PKGBUILD file in order to have a clean build.
