Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.1.8-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
The Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 7 is using the whiskeylake processor and the audio is
not working on it.
A large part of this is the kernel SOF driver - for which a separate bug is
submitted - but we also need some new files under /usr/share/alsa/ucm/sof-
skl_hda_card to support the new audio devices.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Add the attached HiFi and sof-skl_hda_card.conf files to the
/usr/share/alsa/ucm/sof-skl_hda_card directory

* What was the outcome of this action?
Devices are correctly detected and configured.

* What outcome did you expect instead?
NA

Let me know if any questions or concerns. Thanks for all the help!
Mark

This is not a Debian specific bug. It should be handled by the ALSA
project itself to provide it for all linux distributions using ALSA.

Hi Elimar,

The ALSA team have done an initial import of the new alsa-ucm-conf repository (https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/tree/import) which has the support for the sof-skl_hda_card which I was looking for with this bug.

How does it work for this making its way into Debian? I appreciate that it's still all new and an exercise in progress on the ALSA side but was curious as to how the process worked from there with regards to Debian.

Thanks in advanc

I have backported patches from upstream project into current SID
package. Find attached patches that apply on top of alsa-lib in
salsa.debian.org.

@Mark, could you please verify those patches are fine and build&test
them?
