Short version: your laptop speakers, headphone jack, and built-in mic show up as nothing in Linux, even though the drivers are already there. The BIOS quietly tells the audio chip to use an old, speaker-less mode. One tiny tweak flips it back. This gist wraps that tweak in DKMS so it keeps working after kernel updates and is easy to undo later.
Tested on a Zenbook S16 UM5606GA (AMD Ryzen AI, Strix Point) running Linux 7.0.9, June 2026.
