Description Anton Gonzalez 2025-11-19 00:09:21 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:
Audio stops working. Sounds card not visible.

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
6.17.8

3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :
Yes. Worked on 6.17.7

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:
Update to 6.17.8, reboot, sounds stops working. Reboot with 6.17.7 and sound works.


5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:


6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:
No

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

Reproducible: Always

This also happens to me,
Fedora 43 / Lenovo Yoga 9 Aura / Intel Ultra 7 258V

Kernels 6.17.7 and earlier work, but 6.17.8 does not.

Looking at dmesg, in working configurations, after the topology file is selected, there are many lines related to "cs35l56",

On kernel 6.17.8, there is an error message after loading the topology, and no additional sound-related lines,

Happens to me too. 

Dell 14 Pro Premium
Intel Ultra 7 258V

6.17.7 is fine, 6.17.8 broke it.

Want to give https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=139136604 a try and see if that fixes it?

Give it (6.17.9rc2) a try, but doesn't fix the issue.

Comment 7 Anton Gonzalez 2025-11-24 22:19:04 UTC
Kernel upstream commit e5d527be7e6984882306b49c067f1fec18920735 seems to be the cause here. This made it into 6.17.8 and 6.18RC5

Comment 8 traxtopel 2025-11-27 10:03:14 UTC
Are there any plans to backport the fix to version 6.17.x kernel?

This worked. Installed, rebooted on the 6.17.9 build from the link provided and audio is back to working again. Thank you, kindly.

This does not work for my Lenovo Yoga 9i Aura. Had to downgrade again.

Sorry, Justin. I saw the package name was the same as the F43 update and incorrectly assumed it was the same. Your scratch build *does* fix audio for my Lenovo. Thank you.

Comment 13 Michael Cronenworth 2025-11-28 16:08:29 UTC
This is the commit that was reverted in Justin's scratch build. I would not have guessed it was the cause.

Comment 14 Michael Cronenworth 2025-12-02 05:20:34 UTC
Fixed with the Fedora 6.17.10 update. Thanks.

Comment 15 abhijangda 2025-12-05 06:40:39 UTC
Speakers does work with 6.7.10 but the headphone jack while getting detected does not output anything with 6.7.10. Both works with 6.7.7. Is this the case for others?

Same for me on Dell Pro 13 Premium PA13250. The headset's mic is working, however.

Comment 18 abhijangda 2025-12-05 17:32:41 UTC
Sorry, there was a typo in my comment I meant kernel 6.17.x. Headphone jack output do not work in 6.17.10. My laptop is Yoga 9 2-in-1 14ILL10 and uses Lunar lake.

Comment 19 Fabio S. 2025-12-09 08:53:19 UTC
Still not working in 6.17.10 unfortunately.  headphone jack output does not work, Dell Pro Max 16

Comment 20 abhijangda 2025-12-09 22:20:51 UTC
Fortunately, USB-C earphones are working fine. but hopefully this bug will be fixed.

Comment 21 Fabio S. 2025-12-18 08:19:07 UTC
Still not working in 6.17.12-300.fc43.x86_64. headphone jack output does not work, Dell Pro Max 16

Comment 22 Mihai Harpau 2026-01-04 14:08:30 UTC
Issue is still present in kernel-6.18.3-100.fc42.x86_64, Yoga Slim 7 14ILL10

Came here to report the same on kernel-6.18.3-200.fc43. This was fine from 6.17.10 to 6.17.12 (F43 did not get 6.17.13), but has returned with 6.18.3.

Comment 24 Justin M. Forbes 2026-01-05 15:44:48 UTC
Thanks for the update. I reverted the patch in 6.17 but assumed that the additional fixes required would have made it to 6.18. Let me see what's going on.  I can certainly do a revert again, but that just puts off the problem of a proper upstream fix.

Comment 25 traxtopel 2026-01-09 07:52:45 UTC
Is the revert included in 6.18.4?

Comment 26 Mihai Harpau 2026-01-09 09:12:44 UTC
Great news! 
Issue seems to be fixed in kernel-6.18.4-100.fc42.x86_64, Yoga Slim 7 14ILL10 Lunar Lake:
- sound is back as in 6.17.7
- also headphone jack output is working again
