Hi, if Ubuntu supports your computer, they probably offer a patch or patches. If so and you build a "vanilla" kernel by just using an Ubuntu config, then you build without any additional patch that might be (or might not be) offered by Ubuntu. IIUC a default install of Ubuntu, Redhat or SuSE might provide a working audio device, see https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht082374 . It might not necessarily work, due to different mainboard releases. How about testing a live media, e.g. Ubuntu from an USB stick? Did you already check https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht511743-how-to-download-the-linux-image-from-the-e-support-page ? I build my own desktop machines. For my 13th Gen Intel Core based machine Ubuntu offered a kernel supporting everything I need, already when the machine was new, while for Arch Linux I build the kernel module for RTL8125 using dkms. To summarise, if you build your own kernel, you may need one or more patches in addition to the source code from kernel.org, a kernel configuration will probably not change anything. You don't necessarily have to rebuild the whole kernel, but only the corresponding module or modules, simply with dkms.
