io on these HP chassis often routes through an amplifier that wants a sof-firmware and UCM update before the speakers behave. Fingerprint reader has no libfprint driver. RAM is soldered LPDDR5x. The chip itself is the fast part here, the rest is HP business-class plain.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ships 6.8 and is too old for Strix Point; use the HWE kernel or 24.10+ to get the iGPU and suspend right. Same speaker-amp tweak as Fedora.
