es8336 HiFi.conf

[junocomp]

I believe the current HiFi.conf for es8336 is incorrect and does not enable the require volumes for the speakers.

I have attached my conf file, this enables the speakers from startup, detects the HDMI audio and enables the internal microphone. I have tested this on 3 devices with Debian now and it seems to work. Can other people test it too please. If it works, it will be worth pushing it upstream.

Make sure you backup your /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/Intel/sof-essx8336/HiFi.conf and replace it with the configuration below. Restart your machine to take effect.

It would be better to create a PR (pull request) to see and comment changes. You can point to the raw file (like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/perexg/alsa-ucm-conf/issue/239/ucm2/HDA/DualCodecs/HiFi.conf) in your repo.

@perexg I am not sure how to do a PR, should I push it to master?

@perexg can you help me make a PR?

Looking at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/772 I wonder if not all EnableSequence/DisableSequence should match ?
