[Notebook] BSoD caused by compatibility issues between the Intel Smart Sound Technology driver and Windows 11

Intel and Microsoft discovered that some versions of the Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel SST) drivers have compatibility issues with the 11th generation core processors and Windows 11. Windows 11 devices that used the impacted Intel SST drivers may have the BSoD. Only devices with both Intel’s 11th generation core processors and Intel SST driver versions 10.29.0.5152 or 10.30.0.5152 will be affected by this problem. The impacted driver is called Intel® Smart Sound Technology (Intel® SST) Audio Controller in Device Manager, and the file name is IntcAudioBus.sys; the file version is 10.29.0.5152 or 10.30.0.5152. This problem can be solved by updating the Intel® Smart Sound Technology driver to 10.30.00.5714 and higher versions or 10.29.00.5714 and higher versions.

Note: The higher versions only refer to the last part of the version number; version 10.30.x is not higher than version 10.29.x.

Please update your Intel® SST driver by referring to How to update the driver? and Quick Guide - Intel SST Driver Installation.
