Summary
The Linux sound subsystem is experiencing an increase in bug fixes and patches, many of which are "assisted-by" contributions from AI/LLMs. Sound subsystem maintainer Takashi Iwai of SUSE notes the continued influx of small fixes, with a major change involving HD-audio pending IRQ handling that would only affect unusual machines. This follows a similar trend seen in the Linux networking subsystem where AI/LLM-driven fixes have also been on the rise.
