v2.11

The SOF technical steering committee is pleased to announce the v2.11 release of SOF.

Signed binaries for selected platforms are here https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/releases (sof-bin-2024.09).

Highlights

• New platforms: AMD ACP7.0, Intel Panther Lake
• Multiple bugfixes and improvements to HIFI4 optimizations
• Topology: support for multiple new Intel MTL/LNL/ARL based devices
• Topology: beamformer (TDBF) and Dynamic Range Compressor (DRC) added to HDA generic topology for Intel platforms (see below diagram). These are by default in passthrough mode and will require device specific setup either via UCM files or via alsa mixer configuration.

• Enhanced render and capture pipelines:
  • When set up, the enhanced render pipeline improves notebook speaker playback quality with a better frequency response for a more natural sound and better loudness with less non-linear distortion when played loudly.
  • When set up, the enhanced capture pipeline improves loudness of silent sounds and amplifies sound arriving from the look direction of a microphone array in notebooks with a slight reduction of noise in the same process.
