Actual: No output. Repeated IPC errors.
Request: Please advise on:
- Correct topology and firmware for Tiger Lake + ES8336

Thank you!
I have a Huawei Matebook D15 model BoDE-WXX9 running with Popos 22.04 and I managed to get the speakers working by adding snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=3 or snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 in both cases it works. But the microphone doesn't work. It appears via PavuControl as a disconnected microphone. I know my system is running with Pipewire. Has anyone managed to get the microphone to work?
