[essx8336] Intel HDA Sound Card not detected on Ubuntu 20.04

[Michel-Ekimia]

[Solution ]

The complete recipe based on 5.19 is here https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/wiki/ES8336-support

Hope that 6.0 mainline will work ...

[Original bug report ]

the intel sound card is not detected and only "dummy output" is available

I've tested on kernel 5.15 but it s the same on default 5.11 kernel

Also tried without success :

- Booted the 5.4
- added snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 boot param

Correction

The and Path is listed as: usr/share//sounds/Yaru/stereo/dialog-question.oga

[Michel-Ekimia (michel.ekimia)]

@I-cat : the media dir is correct and it is not the issue here.

Please don't change the status or assigned like that.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Seems an hardware enablement issue, while it would be nice to fix it's not something the desktop team can commit to work on at this point so I'm tagging it rls-ff-notfixing

[Hui Wang (hui.wang)]

There is no analogue codec found (according to the log in the #1), maybe your machine has a soundwire bus analogue codec? Plesae upload dmesg.txt (sudo dmesg > dmesg.txt)

[Hui Wang (hui.wang)]

Please remove "snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=2" or "snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1" and boot, collect a dmesg.txt. There is no any audio related log in the #6.

Reinstalled a fresh 20.04.3 : dmesg attached
