No sound on gpd pocket 3

No sound on gpd pocket 3

[anthony tonitch]

Hello,

I have a problem I guess related to sof... I already asked on the irc
#alsa@libera.chat and gnarface advised me to come and ask on this
mailing list!

I am struggling to make the sound of my gpd pocket 3 to work on linux
(archlinux to be precise)! In fact, the sound is not supposed to work
out of the box as other users tested it before me! but they all had
the solution to set the dsp_driver and this didn't worked for me!
I checked several times to see if the module was loaded properly and
yes it is (as you can also check in the alsa-info at the end of the mail)!

If I do aplay -l I get a bunch of hdmi connection that is not working
at all! I'm really lost here and I don't even know what to look for
anymore

The sound works great on windows so This doens't seems to be hardware problem ?!
and I tried to plug an usb headset which give me sound so I doesn't
seems to be config related either ?! (tho the jack doesn't work)

I asked on several places already. I post the different links here in
case you want to check but I don't have any response to any post
unfortunately!

I hope there is enough informations to help me debug this but if you
need anything I can provide it! this is a small pc and I'm usualy

I know this is better to send mail but if you need me to chat for any
reason (it would be easier for instance) I'm usually hanging on the

Thanks a lot for your help!

using "options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1" to avoid using SOF isn't
very helpful on an AMD platform :-)

ah, now it's starting to make sense.

I am afraid you have the ES8316 codec, or one of its variants.
/sys/bus/acpi/devices/ESSX8326:00/status 	 15

so no you don't want to use options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1 but

options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=3

The auto-detection don't work because we use a different codec HID for
the driver selection


	{
		.flags = FLAG_SOF,
		.device = 0x5a98,
		.codec_hid = "ESSX8336",
	},

as well as the machine driver selection

	{
		.id = "ESSX8336",
		.drv_name = "sof-essx8336",
		.sof_tplg_filename = "sof-glk-es8336.tplg",
	},

This is really a problematic set of devices, where absolutely all
possible I2S links have been used, along with GPIO settings and DMICs.

Please file a bug on https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues so
that we can keep track of this and suggest solution.

Thanks!

I will file the bug issue later in the day but I have two question here,

1. does the dsp_driver=3 is supposed to work then because it doesn't
seems to ^^ maybe I did it wrong but here is the alsa info again if
you see anything
http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=847cdba9058170337515f57b460ed7bcae964af7

2. Because it works for everyone else and not for me, does this mean
the chip is different and then that I have a "faulty one"? I will
obviously still try to make the sound work if I can but at least I can
contact gpd hk for an explaination

Thanks a lot for your quick response!

All the solutions we suggested will not work because of a change in your
BIOS. We've only see "ESSX8336" so far and hard-coded this value, now
the BIOS writers in their infinite wisdom chose a different HID
(ESSX8326) which breaks all the existing matching.

if you can install a new kernel, please try and provide feedback on
https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/3338, where I added support
for more BIOS variations of the same device. I don't have any hardware
to test so have to crowd-source the tests to the community, thanks for
your understanding if this isn't a turn-key solution.

Re: No sound on gpd pocket 3

[anthony tonitch]

I made the isuue here https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/3393

I will be happy to test and give you feedback but I'm currently not at
my home and downloading takes forever
I will try this as soon as I can

can I get you any info on my bios ? as you might have seen on the
first sent mail, there is some screen capture of my bios with things I
though was relevant
but maybe I have to look elsewhere ?

Re: No sound on gpd pocket 3

[anthony tonitch]

FWIW, I did installed your branch kernel and the sound wasn't working,
however shutting down my computer made a segfault error but this is
the first time I'm compilling a kernel by myself so It could really be
my fault here!
