[PATCH v2 2/2] ALSA: hda/realtek: Limit Legion AW88399 playback to stereo

From: Aaron Ma

Date: Tue Aug 04 2026 - 15:01:24 EST


The Legion AW88399 speaker routing sends a stereo FL/FR stream
to both speaker pairs. A four-channel stream leaves the front
pair silent, so advertising four channels exposes an unusable
playback mode.

Limit the analogue PCM and the multi-output runtime constraint
to two channels for the affected Legion codec SSIDs. This
exposes the usable stereo configuration and rejects
four-channel playback.

Changes in v2:
- Based on the original 2/3 (39adb275a45cd "Use quad channel map for
Legion AW88399 speakers"), reworked: instead of advertising a quad
channel map, playback is now limited to stereo because both speaker
pairs carry the same stereo signal.
