The symptoms are very similar - initially audio works but after a warm reboot, the audio completely disappears until the computer is powered off (there is no audio output at all).

By bisecting different kernel versions, I found that reverting cc3d0b5dd989d3238d456f9fd385946379a9c13d in patch_realtek.c ( see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c?h=v6.12.2&id=4ed7f16070a8475c088ff423b2eb11ba15eb89b6 ) restores the sound and it works fine after the reboot.

It's the commit cc3d0b5dd989d3238d456f9fd385946379a9c13d

    ALSA: hda/realtek: Update ALC256 depop procedure
    
    Old procedure has a chance to meet Headphone no output.

and it modified alc256_init() sequence.

Kailang, could you check this regression?


And, Ruslan, it's the case without the headphone, right?
Is the sound still lost when you connect the headphone and apply the
same procedure?


thanks,
