Aww geez I didn't realize this support was not already in place. A bunch of Ryzen motherboards use these chips, too. Fortunately I have other sound devices and don't need onboard though.

I mean, I usually compile kernels for myself anyway but it can be annoying switching to a new kernel too soon because then it'll break compatibility with stuff like ZFS, Virtualbox, VMWare etc.

And Fedora 26 is aiming for 4.10 so come November that release may not even have working audio out of the box on these motherboards.

No, it's aiming for 4.11. Will have an article about it shortly, it was reiterated just the other day.

Oh, ok, thanks for the update. Well, that's decent news then.

you could stop compiling kernels and stop using proprietary shit to greatly increase your productivity

Quite ancient, it has been supported for about 10 years now.
