sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl/soundwire 6.6.8 kernel outputs no sound on speakers but works on headphones

Howdy,

First, apologies if I'm not sending this to the right place, I could not
find an approrpriate soundwire/sof mailing list, please redirect me as
needed (I had to find an old soundwire message for reference)

laptop; Dell XPS 17 9730

merlin:~# lspci | grep -i audio
0000:00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Device 51ca (rev 01)

stock mainline 6.6.8 shows the device, but no sound comes out, as if it
were muted, but I do not see anyting muted in alsamixer. If I plug in
headphones, sound works, if I unplug them, no sound on speakers. Nothing
is shown as muted alsamixer and the sound levels look ok.
I ran the test as root from console so that pulseaudio/pipewire doesn't
get in the way.

Under xorg pavucontrol detects when I plug in headphones, and says
speaker unvailable, when I switch to headphones output it works, when I
unplug the headphones, speaker unavailable goes back to speaker.

So I kill X and pulseaudio, play audio on the console directly to alsa
instead of pulse and same thing, it plays but no sound on the speakers,
but sound on headphones when I plug them in

Alsamixer is using
default:0 sof-soundwire

Any idea what could be muting the speakers if alsamixer shows them
unmuted?

It is a kernel bug or userspace bug?
