i have peppermint 10 and an asus E200HA so

to get the driver bytcht-cx2072x (cx2072x) first you need first the kernel 5.3 and the extra modules:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-5.3.0-26-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-modules-extra-5.3.0-24-generic

so next you will have something like

neofetch

inxi -F

aplay -l

so you can see that the audio card is recognized and the driver is bytcht-cx2072x.

but the card will not show up in "audio mixer" and in dmesg there is a lot of errors because the driver doesn't have a configuration file.

i found that on another repo but you only need the .conf files, so follow only the fifth point and below:

1. Copy the configuration files for alsa (bytcht-cx2072x.conf and HiFi.conf from the bytcht-cx2072x folder) to /usr/share/alsa/ucm/bytcht-cx2072x (creating the folder first).

   These tell alsa what driver and codec to use, and how to use them

   sudo mkdir --parents /usr/share/alsa/ucm/bytcht-cx2072x
   cd /usr/share/alsa/ucm/bytcht-cx2072x
   sudo wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/heikomat/linux/cx2072x/cx2072x_fixes_and_manual/bytcht-cx2072x/HiFi.conf"
   sudo wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/heikomat/linux/cx2072x/cx2072x_fixes_and_manual/bytcht-cx2072x/bytcht-cx2072x.conf"

2. Set realtime-scheduling = no in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf (see this issue-comment).

   This makes the pulseaudio daemon not die if the audio device is not found instantly

   via script

   sudo sed --in-place --regexp-extended --expression='s/;?\s*realtime-scheduling\s*=\s*(yes|no)/realtime-scheduling = no/g' /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

   by hand

   1. Make sure you edit the file as root, for example with sudo nano /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
   2. Change ; realtime-scheduling = yes to realtime-scheduling = no
   3. make sure you removed the ; at the beginning of the line, this is important!

3. Reboot
