ES8316 Audio Driver

[shuncey]

Hey Guys,
So i just installed lubuntu 18.04 On my Axon Cloudbook (A strange brand from thailand) which came with windows 10 but my school prefers linux so you know i installed lubuntu since it only has 2GB of RAM and a Z8350 Quad 1.44Ghz ok so lemme get this straight so i followed this tutorial of installing the drivers for audio(ES8316) -> https://www.koyst.com/manu/114.html and it gives me error all the time could you help me i did all the steps.
so here's lspci

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series SoC Transaction Register (rev 36)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series PCI Configuration Registers (rev 36)
00:03.0 Multimedia controller: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series Imaging Unit (rev 36)
00:0b.0 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series Power Management Controller (rev 36)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series USB xHCI Controller (rev 36)
00:1a.0 Encryption controller: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series Trusted Execution Engine (rev 36)

and here is the result of cat /proc/asound/cards

0 [Audio ]: HdmiLpeAudio - Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio

I succesfully compiled the drivers: just put the two line in the correct Makefile as states in the second code snippet. Google Translate should be enough to understand it.
Then launch the last script to compile the modules.
See my answer here (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1034619/problem-with-audio-device-es8316-and-ubuntu-18-04), it may help!

[shuncey]

This is kind of a stupid answer but, even if I Google Translate it i dont understand a thing do i create a makefile in sound/soc/intel/atom/sst and write this there
# sound/soc/codecs/Makefile
snd-soc-es8316-objs := es8316.o
obj-m += snd-soc-es8316.o

# sound/soc/intel/boards/Makefile
snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-es8316-objs := bytcht_es8316.o
obj-m += snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-es8316.o

# sound/soc/intel/atom/sst/Makefile
snd-intel-sst-acpi-objs += sst_acpi.o
obj-m += snd-intel-sst-acpi.o

and then make a .sh file containing this

# ubuntu
C_FLAGS="-C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`"
# opensuse
# C_FLAGS="-C /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`"
c_dir=`pwd`
for mf in `find $c_dir -type f -name "Makefile"`
do
echo $mf
cd `dirname $mf`
make $C_FLAGS M=`pwd` modules
mv *.ko $c_dir
cd $c_dir
done

???
Thanks

Ok so, here it is the procedure step by step.
Open a terminal, create a new folder, enter in it.
Then:



nano download.sh
Paste the following code:

for f in $files
do
echo $f
mkdir -p `dirname $f`
wget $p_url/$f
mv `basename $f` $f
done
then:



chmod +x download.sh
./download.sh
and wait until the scripts download the needed files.


Then:

rm sound/soc/codecs/Makefile
rm sound/soc/intel/boards/Makefile
rm sound/soc/intel/atom/sst/Makefile
Then:



nano sound/soc/codecs/Makefile
and paste:



snd-soc-es8316-objs := es8316.o

Then:



nano sound/soc/intel/atom/sst/Makefile
and paste:



snd-intel-sst-acpi-objs += sst_acpi.o
obj-m += snd-intel-sst-acpi.o
Then:



nano compile.sh
Paste:

Then:

./compile.sh

I'm litteraly crying it works!
Thank You So Much Man!

Well i failed after minutes of waiting this came out of nowhere

Hey still need help. Thanks Sorry new to ubuntu

Hey Guys Problem is solved. So i made a script that you guys can try if you have the es8316 on linux.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bIJTzBdMDejj8-6Er8EecjYSDcvULbPx/view?usp=sharing
and just execute it and there audio is working.

[guillaume-thomsen]

Hi !

I am experiencing the same issue with a Yepo 737S, followed the same instructions as shuncey, and received de same error. I'm on this french forum : https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=2026142

I'm sure we'll find the answer, the community is strong !

[shuncey]

try this out https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bIJTzBdMDejj8-6Er8EecjYSDcvULbPx/view?usp=sharing

Try the script I made it will probably work with headphones even speaker

[guillaume-thomsen]

Wow, great work !

I ran your script, and it did help : the sound now comes out of the headphones, but still not from the speakers. I'm sure not much is missing to finish the job, but being quite a begginer, I don't know what my next step should be. Alsamixer tells me speaker is shut. There must be an easy way to turn it on ?

Anyway, thanks.

[shuncey]

I'm glad it helped.
Still finding out why speakers doesn't work, I'm sure people are still doing anything they can to make the speaker work.
But still it works.
And Thanks.

[guillaume-thomsen]

Is your sound card, like mine, bytcr-rt5651?

If yes, there seems to have a conflict with the HDMI port (wrongly treated as sound card). Sorry, it's french: https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=21874250#p21874250

I tried what's written in there, no success so far. I'll let you know if I find a solution that works for me.

[shuncey]

As you look closely in my script, I have already blacklisted HDMI Audio(echo "blacklist snd_hdmi_lpe_audio" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_hdmi.conf).
And yes i have the rt5651 and also the es8316 Audio Codec. I already have the folder called bytcr-rt5651 in /usr/share/alsa/ucm/ still no signs of audio in speaker and i also tried updating alsa-driver still doesn't work though but im actually trying my best to do so any way how do i contact you? You have facebook or something? I'll just update you when audio is working. and which distro are you using?

[shuncey]

Even after months of research, still can't get the speakers to work.

[nicolettacau]

Hi everyone,
I have a Mediacom Flexbook 13.3 and I'm trying to make sound work too.
I executed all the steps described by nicofossa but it didn't work.
Then I ran shuncey's script, but it didn't work either, there's no sound even with headphones.
This is my output from dmesg | grep 8316:

Can anybody help me solve this problem?

[gcurtsinger]

I had no sound until I installed pulse audio control. I think it should come by default on Linux systems. Had the same problem with Mint. No problems now.

Have you tried running my script?
After exececuting my script do "sudo apt install alsa-base && sudo alsa reload"

[shuncey]

If you don't know how i have a tutorial on YouTube
https://youtu.be/DDSyeEMHKvM

[vihtinsky]

Even after months of research, still can't get the speakers to work.
Got speakers to work by replace sound/soc/codecs/es8316.c with this - https://github.com/kernins/linux-chwhi12/blob/master/sound/soc/codecs/es8316.c
But now both speakers and headphones works at same time.

[vihtinsky]

After trying this modified driver that writes to the gpio. Found that driver turn off/on speakers, but to the first change of sound volume or other switch.
So I get the gpio number from /sys/kernel/debug/gpio with this modified driver.
Then return the original snd-soc-es8316.ko module and write to gpio manually.
I added this systemd unit - /etc/systemd/system/speaker.service


[Unit]
Description = Speakers
After = NetworkManager-wait-online.service network.target network-online.target dbus.service
Wants = NetworkManager-wait-online.service network-online.target
Requires = dbus.service


[Service]
Type = oneshot
ExecStart = /etc/systemd/speakers.sh

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target


Where /etc/systemd/speakers.sh


#!/bin/bash
echo 444 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio444/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio444/value


then


sudo bash
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio444/value
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio444/value

Turn on / off the speakers.
