Thanks !

[plbossart]

looks like yet another duplicate of #3336

please try to see if things improve with the quirk

options snd-soc-sof-es8336 quirk=0x10

in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and using the topology file suggested in #3336 (comment)

sof-glk-es8336-ssp0.tplg.gz unzipped and copied as /lib/firmware/inte/sof-tplg/sof-glk-es8336.tplg

thanks !

unfortunately it seems to be worse :

[plbossart]

the quirk wasn't used, as seen by the use of SSP2 above. This should be SSP0. try and reboot. You also need to make sure the .tplg file was indeed copied, there's a need to have an exact match between dailinks in machine driver and topology.

oops sorry

still no sound from internal speaker

"dmesg | grep audio" is good as in first post (it seems)

can I do sthg else now ?

[plbossart]

try the other suggested quirk
options snd-soc-sof-es8336 quirk=0x0

also try to play with alsamixer settings.

[pierro78]

thanks again !

I tried alsamixer settings with the 2 quirks

but there doesn t seem to be a lot to play with (see picture : https://photos.app.goo.gl/UmvGHSKcTjbU6tWk6 )

thanks again if you can help me !

[plbossart]

you have to unmute speaker and headphone with 'm'

[pierro78]

thanks

I made sure my headphone and speaker were not mute with the 2 quirks and original (non touched) conf but still no joy

the strange thing is that alsamixer says "Intel Gemini Lake HDMI" and I want to play from the internal speaker/headphone
(but the headphone is detected by the way when I plug it in : the left alsamixer headphone slider goes from "mute" to "whatever" I set it (although this doesnt work) ... )
(another strange thing is that there is no way that I can change the speaker volume as it is set to "0" when I "unmute" it and I can't change this "0")

any more help maybe ?

thanks again

[plbossart]

if you are able to compile your kernel, maybe try #3338 to see which interface is used. that would avoid the guesswork by using the information from ACPI tables.

Otherwise I have no other suggestions, this is a nightmare to support.

[pierro78]

I tried with the custom kernel compiled by @yangxiaohua2009 ( see #2955 (comment) )

and it seems like things now work a little bit differently : "sudo dmesg | grep audio" now gives me a lot of lines (see http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=0246bb8c62bf49bc7f1d700a4162e5b1397b5f96 as it was really long) but it still doesn t seem to work ...
a strange thing is that when my headphones are unplugged then the xubuntu audiomixer says that the speakers are unavailable and when I plug them then the audiomixer says that my headphones are unplugged (but no sound from internal speaker) ...

alsamixer still says "Intel Gemini Lake HDMI"

thanks
