Moved from thesofproject/sof **Is your feature request related to a problem? …Please describe.** Huawei laptops ship with an Everest ES8336 sound card that is not supported by sofproject. **Describe the solution you'd like** Adding support for it would be really awesome **Describe alternatives you've considered** I already tried this repo which seems to contain a kernel built with support for it but the audio clearly does not work: https://github.com/himozzza/essx8336 **Additional context** Booting Linux and trying lsmod or dmsg shows only one valid HDMI sound output on the laptop and nothing more. Here's what I get from Device Manager on Windows: ``` ACPI\VEN_ESSX&DEV_8336&SUBSYS_152D1262 ACPI\ESSX8336 *ESSX8336 ```
