yom, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.  Could
you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top
line at the top of the page from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and
please do not test the daily folder)? Install instructions are available
at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this
report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  On Ubuntu vivid (15.04), Audio driver on HP Spectre x360 doesn't work.
  
- This bug has been reported for the outdated (F12) BIOS version: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1441852
-  and it is also valid with the latest BIOS update (F25) and Ubuntu kernel 3.19.0-30.
- 
- As a workaround, GRUB can be reconfigured to use the sound card in legacy (HDA) mode by:
+ WORKAROUND: GRUB can be reconfigured to use the sound card in legacy (HDA) mode by:
  1) Editing /etc/default/grub
  2) replacing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" by GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi='!Windows 2013' acpi_osi='!Windows 2012'"
  3) Rebooting TWO times
- 
- Yet, it would be nice to have the sound card working in i2c mode.
