A number of pipewire sinks and sources changed name on this hardware, so I had to adjust my hardcoded sound switcher and sound maintainer scripts.
Also the internal microphone stopped working.
This was due to the Sound options removal no longer persisting ALSA settings, which are needed to get the internal mic working on the Dell XPS 9700.
The Release Notes suggest setting hardware.alsa.enablePersistence = true; however that setting doesn't exist anymore?
Thankfully with NixOS it's super easy to go and look at the code of what that setting used to do:
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.alsa-utils ];
# ALSA provides a udev rule for restoring volume settings.
services.udev.packages = [ pkgs.alsa-utils ];
systemd.services.alsa-store =
{
description = "Store Sound Card State";
wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
unitConfig.RequiresMountsFor = "/var/lib/alsa";
unitConfig.ConditionVirtualization = "!systemd-nspawn";
serviceConfig = {
Type = "oneshot";
RemainAfterExit = true;
ExecStart = "${pkgs.coreutils}/bin/mkdir -p /var/lib/alsa";
ExecStop = "${pkgs.alsa-utils}/sbin/alsactl store --ignore";
};
};An alternative to using persistence is to run amixer --card 1 set 'rt715 ADC 24 Mux' 'DMIC3' after every boot.
Which got me thinking, can Pipewire manipulate ALSA settings like this one? But I couldn't find a simple way.

This seemed to have been caused by Stylix doing some assertions in the swaylock module 👀 but it was just a red herring. The actual culprit was that Stylix's image option, which is still mandatory (see danth/stylix#200) apparently stopped being pure when fed an absolute path.
Fix: https://github.com/workflow/dotfiles/commit/c9a13ffeaf7f5e81012c3751426a797ef4d90a16
nix flake update can now update single inputs - such as the secrets in this repo - which feels a lot more ergonomic than the previous nix flake lock --update-input secrets
This seems useful: https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.25/language/builtins#builtins-convertHash
