PSA: Possible changes to default sound driver in 5.12, issue w/ alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.5+pipewire
I case anyone is still watching this repo,
- (At the very least Arch) kernel 5.12 has moved from the SST to the SOF based driver by default (snd-sof-acpi-intel-byt). This requires the 'sof-firmware' package to be installed to work. Kconfig added Arch Kconfig change
- There is an incompatibility of (unpatched) alsa-* 1.2.5 with pipewire if the hardware uses UCM (which this does). Getting alsa-* from git or holding alsa-ucm-conf back at 1.2.4 circumvents the issue. Pulseaudio is unaffected. Pipewire bug
Thanks for the heads up!
