[Audio] Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7 - 4 channels not working

I know there is a lot of discussion on this already. And it is 'fixed' with pulseaudio 14 and sof-firmware.  But mine doesnt seems to be working. 

The rear right/left is not firing.  I just recently utilize sof-firmware, previously i didnt' care much about the 4 channel, but until recent i wanted to get the internal microphone working.  But either microphone or 4 channels is working. Actually, the mic is recording, but the audio is barely audible. The mute speaker tricks doesn't work either.

So seeking helps in the forum, just incase anyone got their 'working' x1c7 4 channel, suddenly stop working.  Im on latest firmware/bios (1.41/1.20 ECP)

Below is my config:

Re: [Audio] Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7 - 4 channels not working

Its a little unfortunate to read this, im in a similar situation as my bass is still underperforming, last week i asked a guy with the same model that i use and he said he is having the same issue and has not resolved it yet

Re: [Audio] Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7 - 4 channels not working

Can X1c7/c8 owner share their /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/sof-hda-dsp/HiFi.conf 

Am i missing anything in my config?

# Use case Configuration for sof-hda-dsp

SectionVerb {
        Value.TQ "HiFi"
}

<HDA-Intel/HiFi-analog.conf>

If.monomic.After.SectionDevice "Mic1"

SectionDevice."Mic1" {
        Comment "Digital Microphone"

        Value {
                CapturePriority 100
                CapturePCM "hw:${CardId},6"
                If.chn {
