lspci-vnvn

I have a HP Spectre x360 15-df0006nl. 
Audio was working on Linux Kernel 5.3.18.
After update on 5.4 (I've tried 5.4.5 and 5.4.6) audio doesn't work. I can't see any devices in alsamixer. 

This is my OS version: 
Linux version 5.4.6-050406-generic (kernel@kathleen) (gcc version 9.2.1 20191130 (Ubuntu 9.2.1-21ubuntu1)) #201912211140 SMP Sat Dec 21 11:43:01 UTC 2019

Let me know if I have to submit more information. I attach lspci-vnvn log.

Maybe the device is now supported by SOF driver and you didn't enable the driver or miss the firmware / topology files.

If you need to use the legacy driver, passing snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 option should work.

dmesg

search for dmic_detect or sof-audio-pci to find the relevant error messages.

Sorry for double-posting.

I seem to have the same issue. My laptop is a `HP Spectre x360 df0709nz`. It worked on kernel 5.3.x.

`alsa-info.sh` gave me the device ID: `00:1f.3 0401: 8086:9dc8 (rev 30) Subsystem: 103c:8518`

On kernel `5.4.7-200.fc31.x86_64`, the sound card is not detected. See dmesg, search for `sof-audio-pci` for the relevant errors.

Adding kernel parameter `snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0` didn't help. I got this error in dmesg: `snd_hda_intel: unknown parameter 'dmic_detect' ignored`.

How can I try SOF drivers?
Comment 4 Jaroslav Kysela 2020-01-06 15:43:57 UTC
The dmic_detect parameter was removed from snd_hda_intel and replaced by "snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1" kernel parameter in the latest kernel code.

  echo "options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf

@Jaroslav Kysela: Thanks. Sound and mic work again.
Comment 6 Benjamin Lowry 2020-01-11 21:12:13 UTC
Editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf made sound work again on my ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7, but now the top-firing speakers don't work, only the rear ones do. All of the speakers worked fine on 5.3.x.
Comment 7 FatTony 2020-01-17 16:12:36 UTC
On kernel `5.4.10-200.fc31.x86_64`, the workaround is not necessary anymore to get sound. However, the Laptop's mic isn't working. (Headphone mic works.)

Comment 8 FatTony 2020-02-22 16:45:23 UTC
On kernel `5.5.5-200.fc31.x86_64`, the problem reappeared and can be fixed with the same workaround. (`echo "options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf`)
Comment 9 Jaroslav Kysela 2020-02-22 17:20:38 UTC
The long term goal is to enable the SOF driver by default. Please, follow https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1772498 and report your problem there (install all suggested updates at first).
