Comment 1 Peter 2025-06-24 07:14:19 UTC
After dnf upgrade, the following error appears during boot process:

kernel: acp3x-alc5682-max98357 AMDI5682:00: ASoC: driver name too long 'acp3xalc5682m98357' -> 'acp3xalc5682m98'

Machine with the issue:
* Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (CP514-1H, CP514-1W) with Hardware ID EZKINIL.
* Firmware replaced by mrchromebox’s full UEFI (full ROM)
* Picasso Ryzen 3 CPU (3000 series)

Comment 2 Jaroslav Kysela 2025-06-24 07:32:05 UTC
Does things work, if you change /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/AMD/acp3x-alc5682-max98357/acp3x-alc5682-max98357.conf file like https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/commit/25f519f66c3e496b21ca1ad83ebc6114dfaa9fc3 ? (reboot is required)

I'll update alsa-ucm package soon.

somehow my link to the askfedora discussion got lost. 

manual changing not possible on Fedora Silverblue, but I built alsa-lib rpms with the above commit merged as a patch  on copr. Peter verified that this has restored audio on this HW.
