It is also important to note that the newest Qualcomm devices, starting around 2022 or 2023 (specifically using SM8350 or newer) use completely different audio logic, based on AudioReach and cannot use the q6voice patches.

Ugh. Anyone happens to know if this affects the Fairphone5 already?

[–] ollieparanoid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Fairphone 5 doesn't use the new audio stuff yet, so this upstreaming work will be very useful for it!

Great, thanks for this info.
