Re: sound not working on essx8336 , dummy output

Please use code tags for pasting outputs.

a quick hack could be trying to enable snd_hda_intel via e.g. /etc/modprobe.d/inteldsp.conf

options snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver=1

this will break internal mic support but might at least get you audio out.

This option "snd_intel_dspcfg dsp_driver=1"  = nothing

Re: sound not working on essx8336 , dummy output

Install of latest `alsa-ucm-conf` solved the issue for me.

Re: sound not working on essx8336 , dummy output

Then remove the modprobe line/file again, test the latest sof-firmware 2 release and if you still don't have a "normal" device report a bug to https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/issues see: https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/ … tions.html for some guidelines on what kind of information/checks you can do/provide beforehand.

Re: sound not working on essx8336 , dummy output

No, there were no releases of the sof-firmware package since this thread has been made and this will be a combination of kernel and sof-firmware.

If you want to actively be a part of the solution, get your hands dirty. Here's the currently active bug report where this is discussed: https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/3248 please try to not spam "doesn't work, when do work" either provide new data about not yet mentioned models/card information, test sof-firmware-git, test raw ALSA device accesses instead of going via pipewire/pulse if any show up, etc.

There are some refs to work having been done and a potential PR to try but apparently no clear cut successes. Try sof-firmware-git but don't expect anything.

Re: sound not working on essx8336 , dummy output

I got this issue before until I tried lastest updates of archlinux official kernel.

Issue solevd by these:
kernel: 6.2.13-arch1-1
sof-firmware: 2.2.4-1

maybe you need a trick to change firmware 'quirk' parameter of some machine's es8336, this decided by different oem bios settings.
for my laptop the right quirk parameter is '0x02' and archlinux kernel recognize it correctly. If your kernel cannot recognize the right parameter, you can change it like this:

# vim /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
add this:

options snd_soc_sof_es8336 quirk=0x02

or try mod it to quirk=0x01

then reboot system, your will get the sound.
check 'pavucontrol' you will see 'Celeron/Pentium Silver Processor High Definition Audio Stereo' in the 'Output Devices'
check 'alsamixer' in terminal, press 's', you will see your 8336 sound card info.

Recording devices still missing, but whatever, the sound comes out.

Re: sound not working on essx8336 , dummy output

Finally managed to resolve the same issue last night. This config worked for me in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

options snd_soc_sof_es8336 quirk=0x02
options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0
