Lacking of IntcPP01.bin should not block Broadwell ADSP audio functions. Suppose these should be the same issues Mark told us, right? Yes, we are doing some fixes in alsa-lib/ucm/config part, without these fixes, You can do manual volume +/- and switches on/off in alsamixer GUI interface. BTW, if you can create kernel.org bugs to descript these issues, it will be helpful for to trace and fix them after we got this XPS 13 machine.
