Title:
Dell XPS 17 (Ubuntu 21.04) - No sound AT ALL upon fresh installation
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
New laptop - Dell XPS 17, bought in 2020. Upon installation of Ubuntu
21.04 sound does not work at all. System settings only show one audio
output - "Dummy output". Audio input does not have even that, just an
empty drop-down list.
Issue can be fixed if we load a custom sound driver as described here:
https://blog.fts.scot/2020/07/04/dell-xps-2020-how-to-get-audio-
working-on-linux/
That poses a security risk however and according to the author of the
article is not necessary since mainline Kernel release 5.11 now has
required device headers included.

Looked around for soundwire drivers, found this:

Maybe using the soundwire_intel driver would fix the problem? Need to
keep digging. Will post an update if I have any progress.
