Audio Issues with sof-essx8336 (Everest ES8336) on Kali Linux - UCM cset error
Hardware & System Information
- Laptop Model: Infinix X2 Slim Intel Core i3 11th Gen 1115G4
- OS: Kali Linux (Rolling)
- Kernel Version: 6.19.14+kali-amd64
- Audio Server: PipeWire (WirePlumber)
Problem Description
I am unable to get any audio output from my internal laptop speakers. The audio card is detected by the kernel and appears in aplay -l, but no sound is produced. Bluetooth audio works perfectly fine, confirming that the audio server layer is operational.
Diagnostic Outputs

Error during sudo alsactl init:
When attempting to initialize ALSA, the system throws the following UCM sequence execution error, indicating a control-name mismatch or missing routing bits in the UCM configuration:
Steps Already Tried
- Attempted overriding options using
snd_soc_sof_8336 quirk=0x01 and 0xf0 via modprobe configuration, but with no success.
- Cleaned user-level PipeWire state directories (
~/.config/pulse and ~/.local/state/wireplumber).
- Restoring
asound.state from the official community repository failed to match the control switches.
The hardware works flawlessly on Windows, indicating this is purely a Linux pin-routing/UCM mapping issue for this specific motherboard topology.
Could anyone guide me on how to supply the correct quirk parameters or patch the
