Internal speakers only output mono mix after kernel upgrade on ThinkPad X9-14 #5656
Description
I have a ThinkPad X9 14" (Gen 1) with an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V. Initially upon installing Fedora 43, which comes with Linux kernel 6.17.1, the stereo audio works correctly, with the left and right channels coming out of the left and right internal speakers respectively. However, after upgrading all packages for the first time, including upgrading the kernel to 6.18.6 (the latest available in Fedora as of writing this), the internal speakers only output a mono mix, so a mix of the left and right channels comes out of both speakers.
SOF section of dmesg with kernel 6.17.1 (using Fedora 43 live ISO), where stereo audio works correctly:

The headphone jack is unaffected by this issue and outputs stereo audio correctly.
