Comment 366 for bug 1958019

The 13s verbs aren't in a good state and are in no condition to attempt
any sort of inclusion into the kernel IMO. You're going to have to
experiment with applying the 13s verbs in debug mode. Look for sycxyc's
posts for some potential insights into this.

As far as the quality, this may be due to the verbs needing to be
cleaned up, the more advanced audio features of your laptop not being
supported by Linux, or some combination of both. For example, in the
case of the 2020 Legion, I've found that audio quality between Linux and
Windows is about equal if you disable Dolby audio in Windows. Dolby
isn't supported Linux AFAIK at this time.
