Subject: [PATCH v2] ALSA: hda/tas2781: Skip UEFI calibration on ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 01:36:50 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108093650.1142176-1-matthew.schwartz@linux.dev> (raw)
There is currently an issue with UEFI calibration data parsing for some
TAS devices, like the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X (RC73XA), that causes audio
quality issues such as gaps in playback. Until the issue is root caused
and fixed, add a quirk to skip using the UEFI calibration data and fall
back to using the calibration data provided by the DSP firmware, which
restores full speaker functionality on affected devices.
