The 5.11 kernel works fine, but 5.13 and 5.14 fail. The card, when working is seen in alsa-info as bytcrrt5640,bytcr- rt5640, whereas in the later (hwe-20.04-edge, oem-20.04d) kernels where it fails, it is seen as "rt5640,sof-bytcht rt5640" When failing, speaker-test, spd-say, and most other sound sources seem to get 'sunk', and the level meter on the pulse mixer shows activity. FWIW "espeak-ng hello" blocks on the broken setup. I confess I'm not actually using the linux-meta-hwe-5.13 as it is unavailable in LinuxMint. I am using linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge, which AFAICT pulls in the same kernels. apt policy pointed me to report here.
