No Mic on ES8336

[junocomp]

Using the latest es8336 topologies and kernel 5.19, the microphone is not detected. Sound/speakers work fine.

[plbossart]

@junocomp kernel 5.19 is not good enough, please retry with the setup suggested here: https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/wiki/ES8336-support

[junocomp]

i tried it, still not detected.

[plbossart]

@junocomp try to see if jack detection works for you, see instructions in https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/3800

[junocomp]

@plbossart When using a headset with mic, then is detected. But not the internal mic.

[plbossart]

There is no such thing as detecting an internal mic @junocomp. It's soldered at the hardware level, what you are missing it is the configuration to use it. It can be a mix of alsa-settings and/or GPIO settings.

[junocomp]

I still can't get the mic to work. I have the latest UCM and everything.

LSHW finds the mic but it wont enable it.

Having the same story on KUU YoBook M (Gemini Lake N4020), no internal mic is detected, and alsamixer cannot enable the corresponding flag. But when I re-route MIC1 to headset using SOC_ES8336_HEADSET_MIC1 quirk (options snd-soc-sof-es8336 quirk=0x122), I am able to capture internal microphone sound with arecord -Dhw:0,0 -c2 -r48000 -d 10 -f S32_LE test.wav (though of very bad quality with constant high-pitch hum)

[zheksoon]

Just checked again, without SOC_ES8336_HEADSET_MIC1 quirk it's enough to switch Differential Mux to lin2-rin2 in alsamixer to capture internal microphone sound. So the problem is that no separate internal microphone device is available.

[junocomp]

@zheksoon Are you able to see your mic now on gnome-settings or is it picked up by any other apps?

Have you tried https://mictests.com/ ?

Nope, there is still no microphone device in pulse audio settings, so external applications don't recognize it's connected and pick up monitor device (which just replays output to the input)

[junocomp]

@zheksoon I tried your suggestion and I coudn't get the mic to detect at all, not even when create a wav file.

[zheksoon]

@junocomp both with the quirk and Differential Mux settings? Maybe try to play with different combinations in alsamixer, something should work for analog mic. And are you sure your mic isn't dmic?

[zheksoon]

@plbossart could you please elaborate on what should be done to make the internal microphone device to get detected and appear as input in Pulse Audio?

[plbossart]

There is no 'detection' of internal microphones. The only think that can interfere is the detection of the headset. If that is not working, then it's possible that you never see the internal mic.

One possibility is to comment out the 'conflicting device' in the UCM file, That should show you both inputs and give you the ability to select the relevant input.

[junocomp]

@zheksoon have you had any luck?

[zheksoon]

@junocomp nope, I tried to mess with ALSA UCM settings, but removing all conditions and conflict devices from it doesn't make a microphone to appear as a device. Anyway I had only sport interest in enabling it, its quality is so bad it will be unusable in real life.

[junocomp]

Any updates on this?

[junocomp]

No one?

I got a new kernel (kernel 6.0.11-225.current), however, just like the author of the topic no microphones (dual mic) on Alldocube i1405 Jasper Lake N5100. When connect a 3.5mm mobile headset, the microphone does not work.

The speakers work good. The headphones work good.

[tshipenchko]

please also try the proaudio profile in pulseaudio config (for example with pulseaudio volume control GUI program) and with the latest upstream kernel
