No speaker sound on new HP Envy series

No speaker sound on new HP Envy 17-da00xx series. Bluetooth sound is ok.
Tried many distroes based on Ubuntu. Only Pop OS using kernel 6.9.3 works.
Tried kernels above Zorins 6.8 on Zorin 17.2 with Ubuntu Mainline and they all work.
So we have to wait until an adapted kernel for Zorin arrives.

Well, here's how easy it is to update your Kernel in ZorinOS.: TuxInvader Kernel For Zorin OS 16 users (Focal Fossa): Open up terminal Type and enter these 3 commands one by one: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline sudo apt update sudo apt install linux-generic-X.XX Notice that I have writte…

Also, you might want to come back to check regularly in the following weeks. The developers announced that kernel 6.11 HWE should be ready sometime around that timeframe:

Why will Zorin OS 17.3 have the 6.11 kernel ...?

So Artyom apparently made a post recently about how the 6.11 kernel will be used in Zorin OS 17.3. I recently read about how 6.11 has already reached end-of-life support. I am curious - why this decision? Why not the 6.12 LTS kernel? Can one of the Zorin brothers kindly explain their rationale? (It's a honest question.) Thanks.
