Did your audio stop working when updating from say #Linux 7.4-rc1 to 7.4-rc2 -- or straight to the latter from a earlier series?

Then you are not alone, as a few people ran into one problem this patch should fix:

ASoC: soc-core: reset rtd->num_components after allocation

Linux 7.4 RC2 released!

After the release of Linux 7.3, which brought many features and improvements across different portions of the Linux kernel, such as hardware support and other improvements, an upcoming version of Linux is in the works.

Linux 7.4 RC2 is now live for developers and power users who are willing to try out a pre-release version of Linux that is yet to be released. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate.

The below announcement from Linus Torvalds in the mailing list says:

Ok, a big -rc2 to go with the largest ever -rc1. But the diffstat looks fairly benign, and is dominated by some automated coccinelle updates that I got for the merge window but left for rc2 because I didn't want to deal with them when I was on the road (and had a hard time finding the motivation to deal with them afterwards too, to be honest).

That said, the scripted updates are largely just one- and two-liners, and they realy are very straightforward so they "dominate" the diffstat only in the sense that they are very spread out and do add a lot of noise.

When masking that noise out from the diffstat, the shape of it changes - not spread out over thousands of files any more. But it does not look unusual: a third is drivers (gpu, networking and sound account for most of it, but there's a bit of everything), another third is networking and bpf, and the final third is "the rest" (mostly filesystems, mm, arch updates).

And yes, much of this was driven by various AI fixes. I think I'll stop repeating that, and we can just take it for granted. But this time around Alexei claims that on the bpf side at least the fixes are now coming in faster than the new reports, and that sounds lovely if true.

I think most other areas haven't reached that point yet, but it's at least a sign that we _may_ be starting to see the tide starting to turn.

Don't hold your breath, but maybe cross your fingers we'll be getting there in the not entirely distant future.

Linux v7.4 will be the fifth version from the v7.x series that will be released after Linux 7.3, which will bring many improvements and additions to enhance your user experience.

Arch Linux and other distributions will be updated to utilize Linux 7.4 once it officially releases to the public, with rolling distros being updated first, then the subsequent distributions will utilize this version of Linux according to the distro’s release schedule. Meanwhile, keep checking for updates in your Linux distro (such as pacman -Syu as root in Arch Linux), or compile it from source.

Please note that, if you’re going to try out this pre-release version of Linux, be sure that it might contain more bugs than the final release, as it’s an experimental version not intended for production use. We advise you to back up all critical data before you utilize this version.
