Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Void 6.12.77_1 x86_64-glibc
Package(s) Affected
sof-firmware-2025.12.2_1
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
sof-firmware should provide ABI 3.23 compatible firmware to match kernel 6.12.77_1 expectations.
Actual behaviour
sof-firmware 2025.12.2_1 provides ABI 3.22:1 while kernel expects ABI 3:23:1, causing complete audio initialization failure on affected hardware.
Steps to reproduce
- Install Void Linux glibc on hardware with Intel Celeron N4000
- Run full system update:
sudo xbps-install -Su - Reboot
- Run
aplay -l-> no soundcards found - Run
sudo dmesg | grep -i "ABI"- ABI mismatch visible

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with aplay -l and sudo dmesg | grep -i "ABI" on the listed Void Linux system, then inspect the sof-firmware package metadata and its supplied firmware version. Done means the package provides ABI 3.23-compatible firmware for kernel 6.12.77_1 and audio initialization succeeds on the affected hardware.
