Hi, I saw this commit fixing sound on alienware a51
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.15.11&id=5add3f3954fd8224bdb4d58452d39560f385eea1

The thing is, I just instslled linux on that machine and there is no
sound, tried serveral distros based on ubuntu, fedora, arch with same
results, tried to purge pulseaudio, install pipewire an several fixes
and nothing.

Could you help me with this?

Thanks in advance, apologies for the unexpected message
