. This chip is common in budget laptops and all-in-one PCs with Intel Gemini Lake, Jasper Lake, or Comet Lake processors.
The ACPI ESSX8336 is a hardware identifier for the Everest ES8336 audio codec. It is often found in budget laptops and "thin-and-light" devices. These use Intel Gemini Lake, Jasper Lake, and Tiger Lake architectures. It has become a symbol of the complexities involved in Linux-based hardware compatibility. Acpi Essx8336 1
The patch was merged into Linux 6.9. Three months later, a user in Brazil with a cheap Celeron laptop opened a bug report titled "Headphone jack detection unreliable on ESSX8336 after suspend." It is often found in budget laptops and
Because this chip is often used in laptops sold globally (sometimes originally intended for the Chinese market), generic Windows Update drivers often fail. Follow these methods in order: The patch was merged into Linux 6
The number 1 typically indicates the of the device. In ACPI, you often see ESSX8336-1 or ESSX8336-2 , denoting which I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus the codec is attached to. In most implementations, 1 refers to I2C address 0x10 or 0x1B .
