No sound from speakers. Audio chip: Everest ESSX 8336 (ESSX8336, ES8336).

[Yosha872]

The laptop does not output sound from its speaker, just a loud 'click' when launching a sound player (ie: audio file from Rhythm'box).

Issue similar to bug #1977685.

Note: after launching 'ubuntu-bug' from command line, pulseaudio did crash and launched a automatic bug report, then I completed my manual bug report.
