I don't think the fix has been back-ported to 5.4 kernel. The upstream kernel fix was included in kernel 5.8-rc1 and later: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/sound?h=v5.8-rc4&id=89d73ccab20a684d8446cea4d8ac6a2608c8d390
I tested with the 5.8-rc1 mainline kernel on Ubuntu 20.04: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8-rc1. Sound output works without any boot parameter but the microphone array did not work for me on SF314-57-74V6. With security boot enabled on the laptop, manual signing the mainline kernel is very cumbersome and difficult when doing software updates. I lost appetite and will probably wait for Ubuntu 20.10 which might pick up a later release of the kernel that has the fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877757 Title: No sound, Dummy output on Acer Swift 3 SF314-57G with Ice Lake core-i7 CPU Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: New focal installation on a new Acer Swift 3 laptop with core i7-1065G7. No sound detected, KDE/pavucontrol shows Dummy output. External headset also not detected. I've googled around and tried to reinstall alsa and pulseaudio, tried alsa force-reload as well. Nothing helps. With snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 speakers start working but microphone is not detected. External headset detected with both headphones and mic. I use this as a workaround for a time being. I've checked https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1860697 bug. It is closed and use recent kernel and firmware but it does not fix my issue.
