Ubuntu 6.19.0-9-qcom-x1e loses audio card

Hi all,

I’ve been running Ubuntu 25.10 on dell latitude 7455 for months. In 6.19.0-3-qcom-x1eversion, audio work fine. Then a few days ago, updating to 6.19.0-9-qcom-x1e killed my sound card. Tried 6.19.0-13-qcom-x1e today -still dead.

Quick summary:

Device: Dell Latitude 7455 (Qualcomm X1E-80-100)
Kernel: Ubuntu linux-qcom-x1e

Regression:

  • Works: 6.19.0-3-qcom-x1e
  • Broken: 6.19.0-9-qcom-x1e & 6.19.0-13-qcom-x1e

Issue:

  • aplay -l: no soundcards found
  • Probe fail: snd-x1e80100 sound: probe failed with error -22 (-EINVAL)

Everything else initializes fine: ADSP remoteproc, LPASS macros, SoundWire bus, WCD938x codec, WSA884x amps.

It fails specifically when the ASoC machine driver (snd_soc_x1e80100) registers the card -blocks ALSA entirely.

Anyone seen this? Happy to chat or test patches. Cheers!

Try putting snd-soc-x1e80100.i_accept_the_danger=1 in your kernel command line.

Thanks @frelsaren, you saved my day! Weird that 6.19.0-3 worked fine without that line -I only added the flag in my early audio fixes.
