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
Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio
1 [bytchtes8316 ]: bytcht-es8316 - bytcht-es8316

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, 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:

# 原始出处#p_url='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yangxiaohua1977/sound/master'
# 将要合并到kernel中的代码，使用这个仓库中的代码
p_url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dsd/linux/es8316"

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
obj-m    += snd-soc-es8316.o

Then:

nano sound/soc/intel/boards/Makefile

and paste:

snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-es8316-objs := bytcht_es8316.o
obj-m += snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-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:

# ubuntuC_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

Then:

chmod +x compile.sh
./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/1bIJ...ew?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/1bIJ...ew?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.
