Audio issue codec ES8336- Matebook d14 intel - Ubuntu

[ToutouDogo]

kernel 5.17.0-1018-oem SOF 2.0-1ubuntu4

I have no sound in headphones, speaker nor HDMI. Bluetooth works though.

pacmd list-cards returns 0 card(s) available.

alsamixer

The dmseg dmesg 20221212.txt

journalctl -b -p err journalctl err.txt

From other submitted issues, I guess it's a essx8336 bug but don't know what to do about the no soundcard issue.

Thank you for assistance, I've been using Ubuntu since one week only, my first steps in Linux. I am reading as much as possible to understand but please be indulgent I know nothing.

lsmod 20221212.txt

I guess this could be usefull too.

The following lines from dmesg seem relevant; the people from Intel should consider them

5.17 is too old a kernel for this platform, see https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/wiki/ES8336-support

Sorry, my knowledge is limited I can barely copy paste command lines. What I should do is : sudo apt-get update Followed by `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade', Then I see ? For the support, I suppose I must compile the 5.9 or 6.0 accordingly?

[plbossart]

at this point you have to compile your own kernel to get support for this device. If you are not familiar with all this, you'll have to get a USB device to get audio support.

[casabero]

Same here. I tried to compile sof kernel without success. If anyone can help us would be nice.

[casabero]

try this one. https://github.com/intbyte-100/matebook-d15-linux-soundfix Finally i have sound on matebook d14. 6.1.0-1 kernel & manjaro

[ToutouDogo]

Well done ! Would you recommend me to keep Ubuntu or switch to manjaro ? I am following thesofproject instructions to set up a development enviro and compile my own kernel, but the make command has issues (certificate problem).When its fixed, what I should do is install this kernel https://github.com/intbyte-100/matebook-d15-linux-soundfix instead of the one proposed by thesofproject, following the same instructions detailed in https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/setup_linux/install_locally.html ? Thank you

[casabero]

i did the same trying to compile this kernel without success. Stay in Ubuntu, update your kernel to >5.19. BTW https://github.com/intbyte-100/matebook-d15-linux-soundfix -- this is a fix

[ToutouDogo]

My bad, I should have clicked on the link before saying craps :) Thank you very much ! For the kernel update, many procedures are available on the internet, I would like to know what are you recommandations. Indeed,

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Does not allow me to go >5.17.

-go https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v6.0/ -create a new folder and download all deb files of amd64/build

• cd new-folder
• sudo dpkg -i *.deb
• sudo apt -f install if it needed

[ToutouDogo]

Thank you for your patience. Unfortunatly, dpkg encounters an issue : Any idea of what's occuring ?

[casabero]

install ukuu https://github.com/teejee2008/ukuu/releases from there and update

[ToutouDogo]

thanks. As it seems, I'm still missing something

[ToutouDogo]

OK, I managed to update to 6.0.1 and to apply https://github.com/intbyte-100/matebook-d15-linux-soundfix
Dummy output is solved, I now have a soundcard ! 20221224 pacmd list-cards.txt

Yet, still no sound, and some errors in journalctl 20221224 journalctl err.txt

[ToutouDogo]

new errors, cannot find help on the internet, maybe it can tell about the issue here:

As said previously, https://github.com/intbyte-100/matebook-d15-linux-soundfix solves dummy-output issue but still no audio from speakers.

Tried to modify quirks following https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/intel_debug/suggestions.html#es8336-support Trying quirk = 16, 80 or 400 But dummy-output comes back, soundcard not detected. Here are the error from dmesg after modifying this quirk. 20231201 quirk error.txt

This is repeateable, as deleting options snd_soc_sof_es8336 quirk=X restore soundcard detection (but still no audio from speakers). I tried to play with alsamixer, but no success. Can you identify an issue with these logs ? I don't know what to do.

Hello, I've been composing with this issue since I can connect bluetooth device, but for unknown reason it does not work anymore. Any news on this topic ?

[paulstelian97]

Consensus is get an up to date kernel having latest SOF. That might need a custom build or going with non-LTS Ubuntu, or with Arch/Manjaro.
