Lost HDMI audio with Kernel update

I don’t know why but almost every time I update the KERNEL I loose the HDMI audio. To fix it I copied & paste the following and then reboot. It’s majic my HDMI audio starts to work. Don’t know where I got this but thank-you and hope it works for someone else.

echo 'options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-hda.conf

I’m using an older Intel NUC

This specific command was suggested, but not implemented, in 2021 - HDMI audio gone

Any sufficiently under-explained Linux is indistinguishable from magic

$ modinfo -p snd-intel-dspcfg
