My Fairphone 5 running #postmarketOS re-gained audio support today, with bonus working mic as well!!
Seems like the ALSA configs use a device identifier that only matches if you don't use U-Boot, as it sets a different name, and thus ALSA doesn't find it. Temp solved via `sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/qcm6490/{Fairphone\ 5.conf,fairphone-Fairphone5-.conf}`
Many thanks to @bshah and @aelin for looking into it and spending time helping.

Huh, what even is the fix for that upstream? You just make the same symlink in the alsa ucm package?

@allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place @bshah@fosstodon.org @aelin@donotsta.re with fairphone, is there an ideal os to be running.... or do you have a preference?
