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?
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
