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

[Marc MERLIN <marc@merlins.org>]

I'm still stuck with no sound :-/
I did more testing and 6.5.0-14-generic from ubuntu gives sound when I
boot it in ubuntu 23, but the same kernel in debian 12, seems to load
but gives a device that only gives sound via headphones. Nothing through
the speakers, and they are not muted (as checked in alsamixer)

I ran a diff between dmesg between the 2 boots, and I do see when
running the same kernel in debian12:

I realize that userspace is different and it could be a problem
with pipewire and wireplumber, but the ASoC errors above look
like a kernel issue. What do you think?
