yoga7-alc287-0.0.5.patch - snd-hda-intel patch for Yoga 7 models

This is another snd-hda-intel patch. _NOT_ a kernel patch.

This works for the Yoga 7. AFAIK, it should cover at least both the Yoga 7 14ITL5 and the 14cITL. I think these are likely Yoga 7 models for different regions.

If yours doesn't work, please let us know what steps you took to try the patch and what specifically doesn't work.

1. Download the "yoga7-alc287-0.0.5.patch" from this bug.

2. Copy it to /lib/firmware/yoga-alc287.patch. Ie, "sudo cp yoga-alc287-0.0.5.patch /lib/firmware/yoga7-alc287.patch"

3. Create/open "/etc/modprobe.d/lenovo-fix.conf" in your favorite text editor. Ie, "sudo nano -w /etc/modprobe.d/lenovo-fix.conf"

4. Set the contents of "/etc/modprobe.d/lenovo-fix.conf" to be following then save and exit:
# Patch file to enable output on speakers.
options snd-hda-intel patch=yoga7-alc287.patch

5. Reboot

6. Test your sound (including with plugging and unplugging headphones while sound is playing) and report back here with your results.

NOTE: To disable the patch, remove /etc/modprobe.d/lenovo-fix.conf and reboot.

This patch file should work as well or better than applying verbs-yoga7.txt or as well as using the kernel patch (provided your model is supported by the patch).

Some more info on snd-hda patch files can be found here for those wanting to experiment:
