(Get the code!)
I'm guessing probably not. The issue goes beyond supporting the ALC3306
(which is really just an ALC287). Linux already supports this codec (and
probably for quite a while too). The issue is that these newer laptops
also need their amplifier chips initialized to enable speaker output.
All of the laptops whose support were added with these patches had
different initialization sequences.
Then there are the 2021 Lenovo Legion 7 laptops (both the AMD and Intel
models). These have amp chips that must be initialized through an
entirely different process.
If the X1 Nano can have its speaker output enable through an hda verb
initialization sequence like the laptops supported in these patches,
then the same technical process could be used to reverse engineer support.
The PDF linked says the X1 Nano has Dolby Atmos just like the 2020
Legion 7 which makes me hopeful that the same process could be used.
However, there's no way to know with any certainty if this would work
without having the laptop in hand and trying it.
I still haven't been able to complete the documentation on how to
perform this process due to a pretty severe lack of time for the past
few months, but I'll get to it eventually.
Do you already have an X1 Nano or you're just considering getting one?
I really like Lenovo's hardware... I just really wish they'd be more
helpful. I get that they don't want to provide technical support for
Linux across their entire lineup, but I think all that most/all of us
want is working hardware and not any sort of software support.
