Public bug reported:

Issue Description:
Internal speakers are completely silent on an ASUS ExpertCenter laptop with 
Intel Raptor Lake platform using the Sound Open Firmware (SOF) driver and 
Realtek ALC256 codec.

Hardware & System Info:
- Model: ASUS ExpertCenter (Intel Raptor Lake)
- Audio Codec: Realtek ALC256
- OS: Ubuntu Linux 26.04
- Sound Server: PipeWire / WirePlumber
- Low-level driver: snd-sof-pci-intel-tgl

Verification & Troubleshooting Performed:
1. Hardware functional test: Audio and speakers operate correctly during BIOS 
hardware diagnostics (rules out physical hardware failure).
2. Volume / Mute checks: ALSA Mixer (`alsamixer`) and PipeWire show Master, 
Speaker, and PCM channels unmuted (`00`) and set to appropriate volume levels.
3. Troubleshooting attempts:
   - Modifying module parameters (`options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1`)
   - Disabling Fast Boot in BIOS
   - Updating to the latest mainline kernel
   - Overriding pin configuration via `hdajackretask`
   None of these attempts produced audio output through the internal speakers.

Diagnostic Log Attached:
I have attached the full diagnostic output generated by `alsa-info.sh` 
(containing ACPI tables, pin configurations, and SOF driver dmesg logs).

Request:
Please review the attached alsa-info log to include the proper pin-mapping 
quirk/patch for this ASUS ExpertCenter model in future kernel/firmware updates.
