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.

VanKurt commented on 2024-12-02 15:54 (UTC)

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.
