Linux users with Lenovo Legion Pro 7 (16IAX10H) face speaker issues due to incorrect audio driver detection.
The laptop's Realtek ALC3306 codec is misidentified as ALC287, leading to improper speaker functionality.
Awinic AWDZ8399 smart amplifiers are present but not integrated into the audio pipeline.
A bug bounty is offered for fixing the issue, with pledges totaling over $2000 USD.
Required fixes include creating a custom SOF topology file and adding DMI/ACPI quirks for proper amplifier integration.
HDA verb sniffing is considered but deemed unlikely to solve the issue due to the need for I2C amplifier initialization.
Community discussions and kernel bug reports are active, seeking developer input for a solution.
