Got the full SOF Intel audio running!
Posted: 01 Apr 2025, 02:36
Got my Porteus 5.1 Alpha2 and PorteuX-current with full SOF audio on the internal Intel audio chips, rather than just the generic headphone output!
I discovered this by accident. Depending on how my Intel NUC6 feels at the time, it will come up with either Dummy or a Generic 2-ch headphone audio output. That's all I use, so I'm cool, but an hour ago, it fired up with SOF Audio automatically detected. But only once. I didn't know! So I'm forcing it now.
Very simply, a kernel cheatcode was used at boot, and later on the APPEND line. (later I placed it into my stick's /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg when it works and sticks.) :
NOTE: I used all-UNDERscores here, and it worked fine. I've seen it referenced with hyphens too, but haven't tried that. I've seen a mix of both in this kernel paramater command. Just sayin' all underscores works for me.
