Earlier Phoronix reporting on the "Valve Galileo" as a new Steam Deck device proved accurate and that is the new Steam Deck OLED gaming console. Further improving the upstream Linux kernel support is a set of patches to further refine the Sound Open Firmware (SOF) support for this new platform.

Cristian Ciocaltea of Collabora sent out a set of 11 patches today to improve the Sound Open Firmware (SOF) support for the newly-released Steam Deck OLED model.

See the recent Steam Deck OLED benchmarks for more recent coverage of this revised Steam Deck handheld consoled powered by a 6nm AMD Van Gogh APU.

This builds upon an earlier kernel patch series to further improve this open-source sound firmware integration for the Steam Deck OLED model.

See this patch series for the latest work on improving the upsteam Steam Deck OLED sound support with the mainline kernel. If all goes well this could potentially be mainlined for the upcoming Linux v6.8 merge window.
