cuz i aint spending 10 dollars on some damn driver in my country 10$ isn’t that little
lol. the driver itself won’t do you any good, it’s activated/licensed per device.
Not sure why you think you’re entitled to someone else’s work for free, but you’re not.
the driver is device-binding, it becomes invalid when you replace any hardware, even firmware upgrade. so share it is useless. buy it to support the developer, If you have difficulties to pay for it, use the HDMI / DP sound output or Intel® SST driver instead.
a firmware upgrade does not invalidate the driver license
