With the Linux 6.19-rc6 kernel release due out later today there will be a number of sound fixes/workarounds to note from the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X gaming handheld to several newer laptops seeing fixes for their audio support.

Merged on Friday was the latest batch of sound fixes for the in-development Linux 6.19 kernel. One item previously covered on Phoronix is avoiding audio problems on the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X. By skipping the calibration process and instead just relying on calibration data from the DSP audio firmware, various audio problems are worked around. The problems had included gaps in audio playback and other audio quality issues when running Linux on this Microsoft Windows focused ROG Xbox Ally X gaming handheld.
