[BUG] No audio devices detected on Screebo device running Fedora 42

[KitchenSync439]

Describe the bug
The audio card fails to initialize, leading to no sound on the laptop. The kernel log shows a topology component load failed error, specifically an issue finding sink mixout.21.1 in the sof-mtl-rt1019-rt5682.tplg topology file. The NHLT table not found message also appears twice, which might be a related issue. I've tried rebooting the system, but the problem persists.

To Reproduce
The issue occurs on boot.

Reproduction Rate
The issue happens all the time.

Expected behavior
The audio driver should load successfully, and the audio hardware should be available for use by the operating system.

Impact
This issue is a showstopper as it results in a complete lack of audio functionality.

Environment

1. Branch name and commit hash of the 2 repositories: sof (firmware/topology) and linux (kernel driver).
   • Kernel: ?
   • SOF: ?
2. Name of the topology file
   • Topology: sof-mtl-rt1019-rt5682.tplg
3. Name of the platform(s) on which the bug is observed.
   • Platform: Intel Meteor Lake (MTL)

@KitchenSync439 chromebooks dont have the NHLT table so this warning is fine, have you tried loading the topology file that comes with ChromeOS ?

To clarify, the device is no longer running ChromeOS or the default Google firmware. The firmware was replaced with coreboot and the OS is Fedora 42. Sound was previosly working until a few OS upgrades ago (sorry, I don't remember the exact version where things stopped working). I initially reported this here, where the response was that this looked like a Linux driver issue.

I would recommend using the Chrome coreboot version and audio FW version and topology files as this would ensure you have the correct config and modules for audio (and probably other things too as coreboot is quite critical). The Fedora kernel should work with the Chrome audio FW/topology.

Are you able to attach here the topology file intel/sof-ace-tplg/sof-mtl-rt1019-rt5682.tplg. I can take a look what it requires.

[WeirdTreeThing]

I have the same issue with a karis chromebook using the sof-mtl-rt5650.tplg topology. Using the tplg from chromeos does work.

[WeirdTreeThing]

It looks like the problem started in commit 5359a7f. Those defines override the defines in cavs-rt5682.conf.

[singalsu]

Utility tplgtool.py reports this error for tplg in SOF git main. Seems there is error in git main too:

Widget mixout.21.1 not exist, error in topology

Yep, I got with git bisect with tplgtool.py the same commit.

[singalsu]

@macchian Can you please check how those definitions should be to avoid the issue in cavs-rt5682.conf based topologies.

[kv2019i]

@lgirdwood should we have someone look at this? I think the deepbuffer change has broken some topology configurations.

[kv2019i]

Aa, thanks @naveen-manohar I now realize how this got broken. Let do a quick fixup.
