"Codec #2 probe error; disabling it..." with Comet Lake PCH cAVS

I've been having issues with my ASUS TUF Gaming F15 sound card for quite a while on Linux, and despite trying various module parameters for snd_hda_intel and updating the BIOS, it still did not want to work correctly.
Before kernel version 6.8, snd_hda_intel.probe_mask=1 got rid of the error and fixed the sound card, however with newer kernels, that parameter doesn't seem to change anything.

Here's the output for sudo dmesg | grep snd:

Post output of command: 'lspci -nnk'. Then you can use your sub-vendor and sub-device IDs of sound card in kernel boot parameter 'snd_hda_intel.model=xxxx:yyyy' or like here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1423486 … hone-but-d.

I tried both ways you mentioned, with values 8086:06c8 and 1043:1e91, but none of these made a difference, the device still doesn't show up on aplay -l.
