Just a quick follow-up to prevent this report from being auto-expired.

As stated earlier, I am no longer actively using Ubuntu on this iMac
18,3 due to persistent driver issues. However, I still have access to
the hardware and am willing to assist with testing, validation, or
DKMS/UCM development if there is active interest from the development
team.

This report already includes:

Full diagnostics from ALSA, PipeWire, and dmesg

Confirmation that the CS8409 module loads correctly but lacks UCM
integration

BootCamp hardware documentation with component identifiers (CS8409,
CS42L83, AMDGPU, webcam)

Analysis of upstream kernel patches (DMIC logic for NID 0x45)

The issue is not about missing drivers — they exist — but about poor
hardware detection and lack of proper initialization/configuration
during installation.

If there is interest in resolving this, I’m happy to reinstall Ubuntu
temporarily and test on newer kernels (e.g. 6.14 HWE). Otherwise, I
kindly ask that this report remain open as a reference for future
improvements in Apple hardware support.

Thank you again for your work.
