I don't think I saw anything like that. The firmware (pleeeeeease, call
it 'the firmware', I'm fighting a heroic (quixotic?) but retreating
battle against the trend to call a PC's firmware 'the BIOS' even when
it's not frickin' BIOS) is pretty barebones, it has 'on/off' switches
for various bits of hardware, but nothing more than that, and I'm pretty
sure they're all set 'on' OOTB, inc. audio.

Hope so! Thanks for the reply and the redirect.

I'm just about to build a new test image which I'm throwing a couple of
kernel patches for other bugs into, I'll grab this lspci output while
I'm testing that.
