just use either 8907 FF00 or 8924 FF00 on ALC1220 - ALC1220 chipsets first came out in late 2016
you won't see any newer FF00 HDA versions higher than 8924 until mid-May or June

edit 4/29 - reason why I mentioned the older 8799 FF00 HDA driver is because someone asked me in another forum that 8899 FF00 & higher driver versions cannot be installed on that person's system is because a legacy based ALC861 audio device was used on a very old Asus laptop and needed the 8799 driver that contained either the HDA.inf or HDX.inf file - btw, that person was using 32bit Win8.

Why are you using FF01 instead of FF00 ? What are the benefits ?

I kinda did it mostly out of boredom since there won't be any new generic HDA drivers until hopefully next month

FF01 HDA drivers mostly benefit most Lenovo & some HP computers - otherwise FF01 is pretty much the same as FF00 when used on PCs other than HP/Lenovo

FF01 = Fortemedia APO or FMAPO, again some HP & Lenovo brand machines make use of these DLLs

edit - though on my old HP pavilion desktop pc, I'm using an FF04 version (ex. 8924 FF04) because many HP computers make good use of FF04 instead of FF00.  but on a relative's old Dell Inspiron desktop pc, I recently made the upgrade from 8911 FF0C to 8924 FF00

The latest 8924.1 FF00 you suggested from lenovo is really working good. Better than those github 3rd party versions. It increased quality of the audio very sharply. Actually i quoted Baltagy to answer but you replied. Thats fine i got the info.

well chillgates, this recently came completely out of left field -

unlike previous HDA driver packs from HP which were HP/Compaq specific, this new 8934 HDA version is 100% generic (includes generic hdart.inf, hdxrt.inf & hdxsst.inf files).  It's not an FF00 version but an FF04 version

8934 HDA version also has added new hardware device IDs into the generic hdart.inf, hdxrt.inf & hdxsst.inf files:
