@all: This was caused by a BIOS error in BIOS A01 that put the sound in an undefined mode that wasn't really I2S and wasn't really HDA. This has been fixed by BIOS A02 ( or later ).
There was an _REV patch that was proposed but not merged upstream. If that (or something similar to it) does get merged upstream, then with BIOS A02+ the audio will operate in I2S mode. There are still a handful of open issues in I2S mode that can be discussed and sorted out if we come to that. @Gabriel, You should file another bug on your model and manufacturer. This is specific to the BIOS and embedded controller implementation in the Dell XPS 13. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix ** Changed in: dell-sputnik Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: hwe-next Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1413446 Title: Audio broken on 2015 XPS 13 (9343) in I2S mode in Ubuntu 14.10/15.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1413446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
