Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to submit a kernel patch fixing speakers on the laptop Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620. The patch has been tested for a month with 5.19 and 6.0RC kernels.
The current issue: - The top firing speakers on the laptop do not work. They are not detected by the audio driver.
The solution: - assign correct pins and DACs to the ALC chip
Status after application of the patch: - Both bottom and top firing speakers work as expected. One small issue remains - the top firing speakers are enabled with a 0,5s delay. This is however not very noticeable in real life and the fact that they work already means a significant improvement.
I am completely new to submiting kernel patches so I apologise beforehand if I made any mistake in the formal process.
Best regards, Miroslav Lakota
