Could you test this change (in /usr/share/alsa/ucm2 tree?):

  diff --git a/ucm2/sof-soundwire/sof-soundwire.conf b/ucm2/sof-soundwire/sof-soundwire.conf
  index 1040c93..2442854 100644

Comment 3 noudanieltw 2021-12-13 12:25:20 UTC
Great! Changing that line seems to have fixed the issue. I have working audio output and input now.

Comment 4 Richard Schwarting 2021-12-17 11:23:43 UTC
Confirming that that also fixes the same apparent problem on a HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13-aw2xxx with a Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller using sof-soundwire running Fedora 35.

I see that you (Jaroslav) have already committed this change to the alsa-ucm-conf git repository.  Is there anything I can do to help get it packaged and available for other Fedora/Redhat users?  I have a little experience building RPMs with patches (for personal use) but am happy to learn the proper community process. :)

Thanks!
