Cirrus patch needs re-applying after every kernel/boot update

marcvg

Hi,

After every kernel update I need to apply a _DSD patch to get my sound working (see https://discuss.getsol.us/d/9900-asus-rog-zephyrus-m16-2023-weak-speaker-sound)

To apply the patch I insert a line in .conf:

marc@workstation-marc ~/cirrus $ cat Solus-current-6.6.11-270.conf 
title Solus 4.5 Resilience
linux /EFI/com.solus-project/kernel-com.solus-project.current.6.6.11-270
initrd /patched_cirrus_acpi.cpio   (<-- the patch)
initrd /EFI/com.solus-project/initrd-com.solus-project.current.6.6.11-270
options root=UUID=c6e860f5-303e-4db9-bb41-f21e78b47bf6 quiet splash systemd.show_status=false rw resume=UUID=f2e9319c-da5a-43b0-b6d4-e453b0344036

Is there another way to make this happen automatically?

Cheers,
M.

Did you try this https://help.getsol.us/docs/user/quick-start/boot-management#adding-kernel-parameters ?

Please open a feature request issue on our tracker to request the addition of this patch to our kernels. In the feature request, please attach a file with the contents of the patch. We can look into including this. Thanks.

Is this still needed after the latest round of kernels + firmware updates?

ReillyBrogan according to the asus-linux.org site it isn't required anymore since kernel 6.7, I'll check if I still need to patch my ROG Zephyrus 2023 with next kernel update.

Update: Latest Solus update with Linux 6.6.26-283.current still needs patching. I'll wait till 6.7 then.

6.8 is now in unstable

awesome, then it comes 6.9, nice! 😆

I never expected this laptop to 'just' support Linux, but damn.. Solus really runs great on this machine!

UPDATE: latest kernel '6.8.7-287.current' has sound working without any patches! And it sounds even better (beefier) compared to the custom patch! 😃
