Hi! The last linux-firmware upadate seems to break a lot, especially on asus laptops. (see Latest update causes sound distortion on alc294 with cirrus logic) Iām back with a new problem! ![]()
The latest firmware for realtek causes wifi to interfere with bluetooth.
This makes audio almost nonexistent on 2.4Ghz wifi and frequently distorted on 5Ghz.
Note, this model has some small problems with wifi and bt coexistence on 2.4Ghz but that (at least in my knowledge) is due to the rw89_8852be driver and probably not related to this issue.

Reverting to linux-firmware-realtek 20250708-1 fixes the issue! (yey)
Where can I submit an official bug report for this?
