Hi Steven,

I have absolutely nothing concerning sound in my loader.conf. The=20
only i915-related settings are

# from https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2018/11/
# then modified for modern values
# (mostly xxx.yyy to xxx.i915_yyy
# INTEL DRM WITH graphics/drm-kmod PACKAGE (NEW)
# SKIP UNNECESSARY MODE SETS AT BOOT TIME=20
# disable power-saving display c-state=20
# -1=3Dauto [default]; (-1=3Dauto [default]; 0=3Ddisable; 1=3Dup to DC5;=20
   2=3Dup to DC6; 3=3Dup to DC5 with DC3CO; 4=3Dup to DC6 with DC3CO)
compat.linuxkpi.i915_enable_dc=3D1
compat.linuxkpi.i915_disable_power_well=3D0

because I have problems with loosing the external monitor after=20
deep sleep.

HDMI sound works without problems, on a Thinkpad X1 Yoga 3rd Gen.

I=E2=80=99m not connected to the external monitor right now, so I have no=20
sndstat output for you.

I=E2=80=99m running 13-STABLE from =E2=80=A6 two weeks ago I guess.

Good luck,

Mathias
