Can't Find MiniPC Sound Card in Fossapup [SOLVED]

Post by beau_tox »

Just bought $100 MiniPC on sale from Amazon. Works great out of box with Dell Monitor(HDMI) and 3.5mm audio (ESAuDriver).
I tried FossaPup from usb and get no sound through my speakers. ALSA sound wizard only shows HDMI sound devices.
I get sound (poor quality) by plugging speakers using the Dell Monitor 3.5 mm audio outputs,
Is there support for this audio card?

You may need the es8316.c kernel module?

Fossapup F-96 CE rev 4
Huge kernel: huge-6.1.8-fossapup64

From Ask Ubuntu:
Not working in Ubuntu 22.04
The N4120 CPU uses an Everest Semiconductor ES8336 codec chip for which support is only partial in Linux.
Theoretically kernels from 5.19 should give you support for it.

From ES8336 support currently being worked

Linux Kernel 5.19.0 + [10 Applied Commits] + New Topology files: 0) Linux Kernel 5.19.0 [commit 3d7cb6b] from "Linux Kernel Source Tree" [kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git]

Plus: 6 commits applied from "Linux-Next Integration Testing Tree" [kernel/git/next/linux-next.git]
