Which of those results are you recommending as the answer?
edit: completely and totally prepared to accept I'm being a moron. The name of the driver, the link where you got it and how you got the link from google and I will decry it loudly here.
Although I do notice you wrote 9203 instead of 9023 in your suggested search. I get slightly more 9023-specific results with 9023 there: https://i.imgur.com/V5ty2In.png
I do think maybe you're expecting a little too much of any search engine for such an obscure query.
That's not obscure imho. What kernel driver do I use for this hardware is /exactly/ the kind of search google built its reputation on back in the old days when they did search.
The shock for me is I really /expect/ that to be easy becuase so very many similar searches have been, using google search, before. I've noticed it getting steadily worse along these lines in ways it really did not used to be. I've noticed it being because it wants to recommend not search. Seems others are noticing the same.
What alternative strategies do we have for search where we used to rely on google and now cannot?
Edit: also doing a search for “kernel module es9023” yields enough hints that to me indicates that there isn’t support for it even without it being a daughter board and thus there is no module. So the reason you’re not finding an answer is because there isn’t support for it and there’s no results confirming this 100% because it’s a very esoteric niche question. That you think it’s not is perhaps an inability to estimate how many people might be trying to run audio on this combination of hardware.
If you figure it out and update this thread, I'm sure Google will have an actually useful answer for the next person.
Ok so what is the name of the module that has the driver?
I'm sure that it ain't that hard to find out. I'm sure google with some google-fu used to give you an answer to exactly this kind of question in no more than 5 minutes of googling. 10 at most. I'm sure the driver exists.
Try it. Really. Watch google repeatedly drop and change your keywords, claim it hasn't then return pages with crucial keywords absent.
It's recommending. It's not searching. There is a difference and for this kind of thing it sucks very hard. You must have examples you've seen. This isn't my first it just came up in the last week so I picked on it here.
> What makes you think there is any support for this hardware?
Because I tracked it down reading forum posts, lkml, armbian docs, etc. Timeconsuming. Good test that google was no good for any of you either.
Google does recommendation, not search. It has happened and you don't have to like it.
I tried using Startpage and DDG to see if I could do any better. I mostly found people complaining that their ES9023 POT wasn't working.
PINE64's forum search returned a few topics with half-answers. Apparently a distro called "Volumio" works? There's a report of someone having success after modifying asound.conf on Debian Stretch.
This leads me to believe that there's not much useful information about the POT, or that it's being posted somewhere that doesn't get indexed.
