Could you check 6.12-rc1 kernel whether the problem still appears?
If yes, check with snd_hda_intel.snoop=0 boot option. 

I guess we should revert the patch in anyway; for 6.12, it's no longer
correct to check with get_dma_ops(), and if this causes a problem on
the older releases, the assumption isn't correct, either.
