alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #619 was opened from sjolo312:
This is not a kernel bug but a missing UCM matcher.
Result: With the matcher below and the latest upstream alsa-ucm-conf files, speakers and microphone work on the ASUS Zenbook S 14 UX5406SA (Lunar Lake, cs42l43 + cs35l56).
Tested on: - Ubuntu 25.10 beta (up-to-date live session) - alsa-ucm-conf: upstream master from GitHub (as of 2025-09-26)
CardLongName: ASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.-ASUSZenbookS14UX5406SA_UX5406SA-1.0-UX5406SA
Root cause: Upstream master does not contain a matcher for this CardLongName, so no UCM profile is loaded (-> “Dummy Output”). Adding the matcher below ensures the existing sof-soundwire profile (which already includes cs42l43/cs35l56 routes) is loaded, and audio works.
Proposed new file: Path: ucm2/conf.d/sof-soundwire/ASUS-Zenbook-S14-UX5406SA.conf
# ASUS Zenbook S 14 UX5406SA (Lunar Lake) SectionDefaults."sof-soundwire" { Condition { Type Regex CardLongName "ASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.-ASUSZenbookS14UX5406SA.*" } Include.conf "sof-soundwire/sof-soundwire.conf" }
Verification (files actually loaded): Gathered with: strace -f -e trace=%file -o /tmp/ucm.trace \ alsaucm -c sof-soundwire list _verbs >/dev/null 2>&1 grep -oE '/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/[^"]+' /tmp/ucm.trace | sort -u

Request: Please add this matcher to alsa-ucm-conf upstream, so that the ASUS Zenbook S 14 UX5406SA works out-of-the-box on all Linux distributions.
Happy to test any proposed patch or provide further logs if needed.
