I ripped the datasheet from Wenku Baidu. https://mega.nz/#!AwYVzQxa!TqkyaHkMv_Ne67U8w_0Ad92RVRXA42w2me8ZPQMJDsQ

Have fun adding Sound support to Switch Linux/Lakka Switch
Snagged for preservation incase it goes down for *insert reason here*.
I don't suppose either of you still happen to still have this datasheet? I've been looking everywhere and can't find it. The link above is gone as is every other link I found. Trying to see if the Lite has test pads for I2S exposed.

Oops, deleted it from my MEGA.

Remind me of the filename and I can dig it up for you.

I've looked and unfortunately it seems i've lost it. Must have happened during one of my recent hard drive crashes. Sorry mate :/

anyone ever find this datasheet?

I found some info suggesting to contact Realtek for the datasheet. The link provided was http://www.realtek.com/contact, that seems to be gone but I'm sure they have a contact page still.
In my research I found that the 5639 is pretty much identical to the 5640. Same footprint, same pinout etc. I confirmed this looking at what runs to and from the 5639 on the Switch mobo.

Never did find a proper datasheet for the 5639.

Yeah I figure the reason the datasheet has been removed is because the chip got replaced and is no longer made (I guess that replacement is the ALC5640)
