Opening this bug report in regard to this patch submission: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sound/20241122044435.28061-1-me@nicho1as.wang/

Bug description:

Audio on this device is either extremely weak when volume is turned down low, or if raising it up to around 40~50%, the sound becomes unbearably crackling almost all the time, and would like back to a thin, non-amplified sound after a few "cs35l41-hda spi1-CSC3551:00-cs35l41-hda.1: Amp short error" entries in dmesg, probably it's shutdown by the driver or hardware itself.

I believe it is a generic issue across multiple distros, and nobody with this laptop had their audio work under Linux. However, so far there is no other bug report of this issue to my knowledge on Bugzilla, so I'm opening one for uploading dmesg and acpidump attachments per driver author's request.
