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.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.18
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/160aef32646c4d5498cbfd624fd683cc@ti.com/
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/0ba100d0-9b6f-4a3b-bffa-61abe1b46cd5@linux.dev/

v1->v2: drop wrong Fixes tag, amend commit to clarify suspected root cause
and workaround being used.
