I can confirm this is a problem with the package:

The 2025.05.1-1ubuntu0.1 upgrade of firmware-sof contains incorrect LNL
FW binary (/lib/firmware/intel/sof-ipc4-lib/lnl/intel-signed/drc.llext)
causing broken audio for users upgrading Intel LNL laptops from original
25.10 package to this update:

We have received multiple upstream reports of this issue:
- https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/issues/11076
- https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/5893

Inspecting the 2025.05.1-1ubuntu0.1 binaries we not installed file

/usr/lib/firmware/intel/sof-ipc4-lib/lnl/intel-signed/drc.llext.zst


Is incorrect and not compatible with base firmware file shipped in this 
package. When installed, this will lead to a DSP FW panic and loss of audio for 
end users. Upgrading to upstream FW package will help to fix the problem.

Looking at the source package, the source package has multiple versions
of the "drc.llext" binary, but the wrong one copied to the binary:

9456b5416ce1d70d1d15d658135bc6c9  
./sof-ipc4-lib-v2.14.1/lnl/intel-signed/drc.llext
86ad3c2a9b682fc2ad28b0240ae6b314  ./sof-ipc4-lib/lnl/intel-signed/drc.llext

The first one is the correct 2.14.1 binary, while latter one is old 2.13
binary.

Upstream recommendation is to update all files from a sof-bin release
and not cherry-pick individual files like is done in upstream Debian
packages. We already had
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firmware-sof/+bug/2121849
occur earlier when individual files were cherry-picked.
