Speakers don't work on Galaxy book with Linux.
(sh.itjust.works)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Seems to be a common problem to have sound issues on Galaxy Books.
This thread has solution for Fedora and also Debian. The Debian solution should be usable by you:

Here's an arch and manjaro solution to help you figure it out if the above doesn't solve your troubles. :

My issue seems to be that when those guides were written it assumed I had pulse audio and no pipewire.
The Fedora and Debian thread solution should definitely work with Pipewire, as both those distros comes with pipewire default and no changes are discussed.
Keep an eye on the issue here:

Just to make sure we're on the same page, I take it that the following isn't working for you:
Download necessary-verbs.sh from https://github.com/joshuagrisham/galaxy-book2-pro-linux/blob/main/sound/necessary-verbs.sh
move it to
/usr/local/sbin/necessary-verbs.sh
make it executable with
chmod +x necessary-verbs.sh
Create a systemd service in
/etc/systemd/system
that runs the script at startup:[Unit]
Description=Run internal speaker fix script at startup
After=getty.target
[Service]
User=root
Group=root
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/necessary-verbs.sh
