## Dell XPS 14 DA14260 internal speakers. ## ## Thirteen biquads and a lookahead limiter, applied as a PipeWire filter-chain ## in front of the internal speaker sink. The stock Linux path already loads ## Dell's Cirrus smart-amplifier firmware; this adds the perceptual voicing the ## Windows Waves layer provides and Linux does not. description="Dell XPS 14 (2026) speakers" ## Matched on the DMI product name plus the presence of the sink below, which ## together are specific enough that no per-model predicate script is needed. ## Hardware needing a sharper test can set match_command to any predicate. match_dmi="XPS 14 DA14260" ## Unescaped dots: this is passed to awk as a string, where a backslash escape ## would be consumed before the regex sees it. sink_pattern='^alsa_output.*sof_sdw.*HiFi__Speaker__sink$' ## Provenance. Derived by measuring the response of the xps-clone EasyEffects ## profile from https://github.com/spencerbull/xps-audio-linux (MIT) and fitting ## a biquad chain to it. No upstream asset is redistributed: the convolution ## impulse response is not carried, so this tuning has no binary blob and is ## sample-rate agnostic. derived_from="xps-audio-linux xps-clone (MIT, spencerbull)" validated_by="dhh" validated_on="2026-07-24" ## Measured against that reference under a dense pink-weighted multitone of 104 ## bin-aligned tones. See docs/AUDIO-TUNING.md for how to reproduce these. magnitude_rms_db="1.24" bass_group_delay_swing_ms="13.2" limiter_headroom_db="1.6" ## worst-case peak on a hot master vs -1 dBFS dynamic_range_delta_lu="0.1"
