Linux 6.18 reorganizes the HD-audio codec drivers [1]. The Realtek driver snd_hda_codec_realtek is split into one module per codec family plus a helper library, and the HDMI codecs are split out of snd_hda_codec_hdmi, which remains as the generic HDMI core. As the old modules are whitelisted, but the new ones are not, sound on systems running 6.18 does not work, as already seen on *ploetze*, for which commit 7a0045e (whitelist snd_hda_codec_alc269 realtek audio module) only added snd_hda_codec_alc269. Comparing the sound modules of 6.12.98.mx64.492 and 6.18.51.mx64.498 shows these new modules derived from the two whitelisted ones: snd_hda_codec_alc260 snd_hda_codec_atihdmi snd_hda_codec_alc262 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi snd_hda_codec_alc268 snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi snd_hda_codec_alc269 snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi_mcp snd_hda_codec_alc662 snd_hda_codec_simplehdmi snd_hda_codec_alc680 snd_hda_codec_tegrahdmi snd_hda_codec_alc861 snd_hda_codec_alc861vd snd_hda_codec_alc880 snd_hda_codec_alc882 snd_hda_codec_realtek_lib Whitelist them all, and fill in the missing description of snd_hda_codec_alc269. Keep snd_hda_codec_realtek for older kernels. The Cirrus modules snd_hda_codec_cs420x and snd_hda_codec_cs421x, split off snd_hda_codec_cirrus, are not added, as snd_hda_codec_cirrus was not whitelisted before either.
