[Bug 1551880] Re: [Dell XPS 13 9343] Audio broken with I2S mode in Ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.4 (but works with kernel 4.3)

 

Weird. I have the same laptop and the same A07 BIOS (which is also the
latest one). And my audio works perfectly in regular Ubuntu 16.04
(Unity7). Even working with kernel 4.4.

Xubuntu may well have different audio interfaces. But I also find it
curious I don't see any haswell/broadwell audio messages like yours in
my 'dmesg'.

Title:
  [Dell XPS 13 9343] Audio broken with I2S mode in Ubuntu 16.04 kernel
  4.4 (but works with kernel 4.3)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I wanted to try Linux again on this machine and the tons of
  troubleshooting since release got a bit better, but the sound is still
  a bit strange.

  So after changing distributions I installed Xubuntu 16.04 Beta 1 today with kernel 4.4.0-8 and sound isn't working because the 3,5 mm device is completely missing. PulseAudio is only showing the HDMI output. 
  I got the sound working by downloading kernel 4.3.6 from the Ubuntu kernel archives, although then it looks like it is running in HDA mode instead of I2S (which I don't like because Dual Boot).

  Let me know if there is anything else I can do to track down the
  problem.
