The missing firmware has not yet been added to upstream linux-firmware. Getting it added there is the best option, and makes it easy to pull into Ubuntu. Otherwise we need some copy of these files with an open source compatible license that will allow us to distribute the files.
Do you know of any place where these files are distributed? ** Changed in: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815857 Title: linux-firmware is missing ctefx-sbz.bin for snd_hda_codec_ca0132 Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm not 100% sure what this firmware blob is actually used for, as the card is mostly functional without it and I'm not confident the broken bits aren't due to an incomplete driver, but it requests it for CA0132-based PCIe addin cards (Sound Blaster Recon3D, Z series, X AE-5).
