[PATCH v1] ALSA: hda/tas2781: A workaround solution to lower-vol issue among lower calibrated-impedance micro-speaker on TAS2781

From: Shenghao Ding

Date: Fri Feb 27 2026 - 09:49:19 EST


On TAS2781, if the Speaker calibrated impedance is lower than default
value hard-coded inside the TAS2781, it will cuase vol lower than
normal. In order to fix this issue, the parameter of SineGainI need
updating.

Signed-off-by: Shenghao Ding <shenghao-ding@xxxxxx>

v1:
- Add tas2781_cali_preproc() to check whether the calibrated-impedance is lower than the default value. If so, update the SineGainI.
- Specify the TAS2781 chipid for cliabrated data preprocessing.
- Revert b7e26c8bdae7 ("ALSA: hda/tas2781: Skip UEFI calibration on ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X") in tas2781.
