I'm not certain that having the latest alsa-utils is mandatory, so maybe ignoring it will be fine.

Also, you may need to pass an option to the sound module (to select the same codepath as Lenovo), since your laptop doesn't seem to be listed in driver's pci quirck list (alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_analog.c around line 833). In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, add:

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-automute

Then, you have two tests:
1. Build without the patch. If the speakers automute, then you're lucky ;-)
2. If 1 failed, build with the patch.
