My laptop HP ZBook Fury 15 G7 Mobile Workstation has the problem that there's no sound after I suspend and resume it. The only solution I found so far is reboot. I have 2 cards on my laptop, one is HDA Nvidia controlled by snd_hda_intel driver and the other is sof-hda-dsp controlled by snd_soc_skl_hda_dsp driver. Not sure about Nvidia card - didn't use it so far, but the problem is with the latter, which is my "main" sound card labeled Realtek ALC285. Sound works fine until I suspend and resume the laptop and nothing in the log seem to point to the cause of the problem...

logs from alsa-info when sound is working: https://pastebin.com/0CuJWiG1

When it's not working (after resume): https://pastebin.com/CGD2GDGb

the logs are from when I added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

options snd slots=snd_soc_skl_hda_dsp
options snd_soc_skl_hda_dsp index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=1

Think I tried most solutions I could find on the net. Re-inserting snd_soc_skl_hda_dsp hangs forever. I also had this problem with pulseaudio being started by gdm, I stopped it but it didn't make any difference so not sure how important it is.

Another strange thing is that although the sound card is reported as 2 channel, it seems like the front-left channel is the only one that works, but all speakers are playing as if it was one giant mono speaker only. Playing anything on front-right or changing balance results in no sound.

Would be grateful for any help, it's really hard to work if I have to restart the laptop each time I suspend it. Thanks!

I solved the issue by updating to 5.11-rc7 kernel. This required a manual patch of nvidia-460 driver which was incompatible with this kernel.
