[BUG] Infinix Inbook X2 no sound (both speakers and jack)

[faerics]

Hello,

following docs and wiki I've compiled the 5.19.0 + fixes kernel. and see Dummy output instead of the sounding device.
New topology files added.

Attaching dmesg from boot. Not an audio expert so need some help from the community to investigate this.
dmesg-5.19.0+.log

Thanks.

@faerics Can you please attach the results of 'alsa-info'?
it's likely that there's a missing entry in ACPI matching tables for your device since it defaults to the HDMI-only case.

@plbossart Hello, attaching sudo alsa-info result.

Another ES8326/ES8336 codec issue?

/sys/bus/acpi/devices/ESSX8326:00/status 	 15

[plbossart]

Yes, it's a codec issue @faerics

/sys/bus/acpi/devices/ESSX8326:00/status 15

This points to the ES8326, NOT the ES8336. The required codec driver was upstreamed in August only, and it's certainly NOT in 5.19

As a courtesy I add the missing patches to https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/tree/es8336-v5.19 but this is not even compile-tested, and it's rather unlikely that you get sound. There will be a need for board configuration and mixer settings, but at least this branch should give you a card that's exposed to userpace.

[faerics]

@plbossart Many thanks for your help. Okay then, let me clarify what my next steps should be.
(1) compile the new commit on branch es8336-v5.19 and see if something changes
(2) the required codec driver was upsteamed, so I need to compile newer kernel than 5.19. Which one?

By the way, am I right that your new commit for ES8326 does not break entire 8336 branch?
Cheers

[plbossart]

The es8336-v5.19 branch contains the backported patches from upstream. No need to switch kernel versions.

[faerics]

@plbossart Compiled the new kernel, no changes :( Attaching updated alsa-info output. What else can we do here?

[plbossart]

you should remove the option snd_intel_dspcfg: dsp_driver=3, that shouldn't be necessary.

also please double check if you see the e8326 driver probe and register ASoC components. You can double-check the latter by looking at /sys/kernel/debug/asoc/components and /sys/kernel/debug/asoc/dais. snd_soc_es8326 is loaded but it could very well be that the driver never probes or exits the probe with some error.

I would also check if we support an acpi table to select this sof_es8336 machine driver. If I look at your PCI ID 8086:34c8, that will be used to look at machine drivers in snd_soc_acpi_intel_icl_machines (sound/soc/intel/common/soc-acpi-intel-icl-match.c) and I don't see any ID for the ES8326. Try to copy this block from JSL into the ICL table:

{
		.comp_ids = &essx_83x6,
		.drv_name = "sof-essx8336",
		.sof_tplg_filename = "sof-jsl-es8336", /* the tplg suffix is added at run time */
		.tplg_quirk_mask = SND_SOC_ACPI_TPLG_INTEL_SSP_NUMBER |
					SND_SOC_ACPI_TPLG_INTEL_SSP_MSB |
					SND_SOC_ACPI_TPLG_INTEL_DMIC_NUMBER,
	},

Hello, @plbossart, sorry for the delay, just got free time to continue trying things you suggest.

snd_intel_dspcfg: dsp_driver=3 option is necessary, and when I remove it, the snd_hda_intel driver is used, which is not what we want. right?

Next,

cat /sys/kernel/debug/asoc/components
0000:00:1f.3
ehdaudio0D2
i2c-ESSX8326:00
dmic-codec
snd-soc-dummy
snd-soc-dummy 

/sys/kernel/debug/asoc/dais also contains string i2c-ESSX8326:00.

To the last step, I noticed that ES8336 wiki got updated, Should we try to repeat steps using newer v6 kernel?
Also, can you point to the line where to paste that fragment of code? Looked at sound/soc/intel/common/soc-acpi-intel-icl-match.c and can't find similar block.

Thanks for your help!

[plbossart]

Yes @faerics you need the branch listed in the wiki, with the two patches in #3954 added on top
