Alderlake-N PUJJO on 6.5.0 kernel requires dsp_driver option only given in debug mode

[robcast]

Describe the bug
I ran setup-audio on my IdeaPad 3 Flex Alderlake-N Chromebook and speaker or headphone did not work, aplay -l showed only HDMI outputs and KDE desktop config only used null driver.

But when I ran setup-audio --enable-debug speaker and headphone started working, aplay -l showed 7 "sof-rt5682" outputs and KDE desktop config started using speaker and headphone.

I reduced the snd-sof-dbg.conf in /etc/modprobe.d and it seems that at least

options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=3

is required for the driver to properly initialize.

Which kernel version?

[robcast]

I am on Kubuntu 23.10 with kernel 6.5.0-17-generic.

[WeirdTreeThing]

I sent a patch to automatically select the sof driver on ADL and ADL-N, but that patch is only in 6.6 and newer.

[robcast]

I tried the non-standard Ubuntu mainline kernels (6.7.5 and 6.6.17) on Kubuntu and the Alsa setup worked without extra module options but there were issues with desktop integration (UCF?) and KDE showed no sound devices. I am back to Ubuntu's 6.5.0 and dsp_driver=3 for now.

I sent a patch to automatically select the sof driver on ADL and ADL-N, but that patch is only in 6.6 and newer.

Ubuntu 23.10 6.5.0.21 initially here.

Neither the script or defining the modproble as OP specified were enough. Updating the kernel to 6.6.0 did it for me.
Can you point me to the patch? Just out of curiosity.

Thank you very much for your work.
