I just spot checked a handful of @Milhouse 's nightly builds going all the way back to 2018/12/01, and all have snd_soc_skl included, whereas none of the official LE builds (going back to 8.90.003) do. So must be a kernel config difference there.

I see snd-soc-skl.ko in 8.90.003:

I also went back through my own builds and it's present in all of them, as far back as #0210 (2018) which is the older version I have available:

It's not in 8.2.5, so would have been introduced somewhere between 4.11.12 (8.2.5) and 4.14.18 (#0210, as 8.90.003 is based on 4.17.6).

OK, I'll have to look into it more, I just did a cursory check of whether the HDMI audio output existed or not, and it always does on the official builds
