The SOF technical steering committee is pleased to announce the 2.11.0 release of SOF.
Highlights
- New platforms: AMD ACP7.0, Intel Panther Lake.
- Multiple bugfixes and improvements to HIFI4 optimizations.
- Topology: Support for multiple new Intel MTL/LNL/ARL-based devices.
- Topology: Beamformer (TDBF) and Dynamic Range Compressor (DRC) added to HDA generic topology for Intel platforms (see diagram). These are by default in passthrough mode and will require a device-specific setup either via UCM files or via alsamixer configuration.
- Enhanced render and capture pipelines:
- When set up, the enhanced render pipeline improves notebook speaker playback quality with a better frequency response for a more natural sound and better loudness with less non-linear distortion when played loudly.
- When set up, the enhanced capture pipeline improves loudness of silent sounds and amplifies sound arriving from the look direction of a microphone array in notebooks with a slight reduction of noise in the same process.
