Chris: I'm well aware of the newer BIOS versions. I work at Dell on
Project Sputnik. The issue is that the I2S audio mode is not well
supported. There is now a quirk in the Linux kernel that sets the ACPI
_REV reported to the firmware to 5 only if on certain systems needing to
be quirked. (Setting _REV to 2 results in our firmware configuring audio
the same way it would be on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.) It would be
wonderful if this quirk did not need to exist in perpetuity, especially
since more and more systems will be using I2S audio in the future.
