You can cat /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/<bus name>/registers
And check the registers of 0x2139000 for HPOR and 0x213a000 for HPOL.
bit 15 = 1 for muted and 0 for unmuted.
for example
Mute:
2139000: 00000080
213a000: 00000080

UnMute:
2139000: 00000000
213a000: 00000000

I know it happens. But it works fine on my Intel Ultrabook Development
System with upstream driver. So I need our FAE's help to check what
happened on Dell XPS. According to our company policy, you should
report the bug to Dell and Dell will contact our FAE if needed.
