The sound/audio highlights for the Linux 5.12 kernel include:
- Support for software jack injection for testing/debugging purposes.
- Support for the Pioneer DJM-750 DJ mixer .
- ASoC Intel driver Realtek codec updates and fixes.
- Support for Intel Alder Lake P hardware. The Alder Lake P support comes down to just needing a new PCI ID in the Intel Sound Open Firmware (SOF) driver. The Linux kernel and the sound code has already seen a lot of other Alder Lake work merge in recent cycles.
- The Ingenic JZ4760(B) found in some Android tablets and other devices is also now supported.
