Happy to hear that, and thank you for your reply.

Yes, this seems to be a more suitable representation, I have adopted the
setup from Konrad's solution.

Thanks for the confirmation. I haven't opened mine, but that was the
only remaining explanation, so I updated the patches accordingly and got
audio to work.

This also matches the Hamoa-based Asus Zenbook A14.

This can be ignored.

At the time of posting this initial version, testing was blocked by
something else (don't remember exactly).

I now have working audio, but I am carrying a pm_runtime_forbid() in
qcom_swrm_probe() as a temporary workaround for hitting a "bus clash"
error.

You can find the UCM and topologies that I've tested with here:

We've made some progress on finding the cause for this, so I hope we
have some patches soon (unless I've already missed them?).

Thanks for the report. Konrad reported seeing the same, so this needs to
be analysed.

Thank you. v2 is in better shape and can be found here:
