Re: Tiger Lake Laptop

snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 in boot options with 5.9 (though mic. may not work this time, in case you necessarily need that) Well that restored the audio with the 5.9.0-5 kernel, thanks for that. I've not tested the microphone, as the last time I remember using one was with windows 95, and that w...

Re: Tiger Lake Laptop

Just a quick update: All of my Laptops and PCs (Yes, I have a few ;) ) are workhorses, not often used for entertainment, so I just discovered that everything is perfect with the 5.9.0-5 kernel... except for sound... there isn't any ;) No audio device recognised - So I'll suffer the loss of touchpad ...
