Product: spectre
Operating System: Ubuntu LTS

There is a problem with audio speakers for all tiger lake Spectre family (2020). 

Sound works with headphones, hdmi, cast, but not with speakers.

Looking around internet it seems that there is a BIOS bug (probably addressed in windows) with an incorrect assignement of pins of audio chip. I'm not an expert, but exists a long discussion here 

 

SOF project people is working hard to find a workaround for this problem, but obviously an HP action to repair BIOS would be the best. Can we hope for this?

 

It's extremely annoyingto buy a new premium notebook and discover that there is a problem like this...

Can we hope that HP will do some functional checks under linux on its notebooks? 

It is really a pity in 2021 not to have notebooks of this level fully tested even in the most popular distributions, a collaboration with their teams would be desirable.
