This update would also fix at least bug #1881505. Basically, my audio on Lenovo T14 was working very unreliably and jammed with a DSP panic quite often with the 1.4.2 version, but seems to work just fine with 1.6.
It would be great to get this update included soon, since it's very inconvenient to reboot the laptop about 1-2 times a day, because that seems to be the only way to get audio working after the DSP paic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900809 Title: [SRU]sof-firmware: update the sof-firmware from version v1.4.2 to v1.6 Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux-firmware source package in Focal: Triaged Status in linux-firmware source package in Groovy: Triaged Bug description: BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900809 [Impact] Intel released the sof-firmware v1.6, and in our oem projects, the Dell TGL machines and the machines with soundwire audio need the new firmware, otherwise they will fail to load the firmware or the audio can't work well. [Fix] replace the old sof-firmware-v1.4.2 with sof-firmware-v1.6 [Test] Tested on the Dell cml/tgl soundwire machines, all audio functions worked well, and those audio functions didn't work with old firmware. Tested on Lenovo dimc machines, all audio functions worked as well as before. [Regression Potential] Intel tested the new firmware with the 5.8 and 5.9 kernel, but we need the new firmware to work with 5.4 and 5.6 kernel as well, so there is some possibility that the 5.4/5.6 kernel can't work well with the new sof-firmware. I have tested the new firmware with 5.4/5.6 kernel on some Lenovo machines, so far no issues were found.
