Hello,

I'm trying to get sound working in Linux on Cube iWork8 Ultimate tablet. It has Windows/Android dualboot, but no kernel sources for Android, unfortunately. From dmesg I see that NAU8824 codec is used, which I can't find any drivers for, except proposed patch that wasn't merged: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/4/765

But, as I understand, additional code (like https://github.com/kirananto/ZENFONE2/blob/master/sound/soc/intel/board/cht_...) is needed to bridge it with Cherry Trail SoC. Any suggestions how to go about this?

It's usually the same process: 1. find the codec driver sources, port them to the last kernel version 2. add ACPI support to the codec driver based on the contents of the DSDT table (same HID needed to probe) 3. add a machine driver based on existing examples and reference it from sst_acpi 4. add an asound.state or UCM file that provides the relevant register values

The kernel sources should be available from the manufacturer if they understand what GPL means.
