  (This is a public bug report for LP1402828.)
  
  This system has a dual-mode audio with an HDA and an I2S interface.
  Which shows up depends on the reported _OSI from the last cold boot.
  Since the kernels in Ubuntu 14.10/15.04 (15.04 uses 3.18 currently)
  report an _OSI of "Windows 2013", I2S mode is used for audio.
  
  A workaround is to pass acpi_os="!Windows 2013" as a kernel parameter,
  but this is non-optimal since the mode of the touchpad is affected. It
  also results in an alternate, less used and tested path in the firmware
  to be used.
  
  See the attached dmesg log for details on where the failure happens.
  Notably,
  
  $ dmesg -t | egrep "(audio|snd|INT3438)"
