We fixed the regression of the speaker volume for some Thinkpad models
(e.g. T570) by the commit 54947cd64c1b ("ALSA: hda/realtek - Fix
speaker output regression on Thinkpad T570"). Essentially it fixes
the DAC / pin pairing by a static table. It was confirmed and merged
to stable kernel later.
Now, interestingly, we got another regression report for the very same
model (T570) about the similar problem, and the commit above was the
culprit. That is, by some reason, there are devices that prefer the
DAC1, and another device DAC2!
Unfortunately those have the same ID and we have no idea what can
differentiate, in this patch, a new fixup model "tpt470-dock-fix" is
provided, so that users with such a machine can apply it manually.
When model=tpt470-dock-fix option is passed to snd-hda-intel module,
it avoids the fixed DAC pairing and the DAC1 is assigned to the
speaker like the earlier versions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
