## Accessibility

The UEFI offers one mode of operation, GUI.

The GUI can be navigated to some degree via the keyboard. `Left` and `Right` arrow keys to move the selection and `Space` to activate.

Note: Blind users may want to request the help of a sighted person to change UEFI settings

## Firmware

fwupd does not support this device yet and likely is not going to.

### Secure boot

Warning: Installing with Microsoft vendor keys is recommended as there are not any reports indicating if it is fully safe yet. No Option ROMs in the below output provides some confidence, however it is up to the user as you risk bricking your device.

The firmware does not have any options to install keys through it, to install keys you can use tools such as sbctl. No Option ROMs appear to be present as per testing with:

    # cp /sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements eventlog
    # tpm2_eventlog eventlog | grep "BOOT_SERVICES_DRIVER"

See Secure Boot for more details.

## Issues

### Internal Microphone

There is a bug affecting the internal microphone on the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9. While the system may detect the microphone, it does so incorrectly and might not capture any audio input. This issue is due to the lack of a specific audio quirk for this model.

#### Workaround/Fix

While the patch is pending inclusion in the mainline kernel, users can work around this issue by building a custom kernel with the patch applied. First check if it has been already included or not at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sound/20250515222741.144616-1-talhah.peerbhai@gmail.com/T/#u.

##### Patch Kernel

1. Download the Arch Linux kernel sources using `asp`:

    $ asp checkout linux

2. Navigate to the kernel source directory:

    $ cd linux

3. Apply the patch from mailing list (save the patch content to a file first, e.g., `yoga_pro_7_mic.patch`):

    $ git apply yoga_pro_7_mic.patch

4. Configure and build the kernel (refer to Kernel/Arch Build System for details):

    $ makepkg -si

##### Disable UCM

In addition, users need to disable ALSA UCM as it shows Hi-Fi audio for all profiles. Here's how to do it for PipeWire with WirePlumber:

1. Create or edit the WirePlumber configuration file:

    $ mkdir -p ~/.config/wireplumber/main.lua.d/

    $ nano ~/.config/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua

2. Add the following content to the file:

    ~/.config/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua

    alsa_monitor.rules = {
         {
           apply_properties = {
             ["api.alsa.use-ucm"] = false,
           },
         },
       }

### Speakers

The Yoga Pro line is notorious for sound issues, the bottom two speakers work just fine, however, the woofers at the top don't work at all at this current time.
