Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

I had managed to configure sound the way I wanted. Alsa sends audio to pulse and pulse sends to jack. Everything was working great until I upgraded the system with pacman. Now I get an alsa-related error.

ALSA error: snd_mixer_find_selem failed.

ALSA error: snd_pcm_hw_params failed: Invalid argument

Also, I am not sure if pulseaudio is started correctly with system startup. Some times after reboot it crashes when jack is started in startup. All this only after upgrade. I am posting this topic in order to find out the reason this happens. Should we or not upgrade the system frequently?

If you don't want to upgrade frequently, you are using the wrong distro.

Work out what changed over the course of the upgrade: then you will have a much better idea of why your sound stopped working.

Actually, I want to upgrade frequently. I just want to learn to maintain my system. Is there any way to see what changed over the course of the upgrade?

Thanks! This is the only related line with audio.

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

Have you rechecked your alsa configuration in case they were overwritten?

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … alsa-utils says it was just a ncurses rebuild, not likely to cause any problems.

pulseaudio was updated to 7.0 11 days ago, maybe that is what broke things for you.

Maybe something made those parameters you pass to snd_hda_intel not work.

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

After some time I reply to this topic again. I would like to be sure what my configuration did before upgrade. I mean, alsa to pulseaudio to jack means that if i open some tune with a music player with alsa output it will send it to pulse and then to jack right? I think this was before i upgraded. Now, when i open a tune with audacious lwith alsa output , the error mentioned above occurs. So, it has something to do with the upgrade right? Or alsa output does not work with this configuration? I hope this is not confusing to read.

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

Can you change alsa-base.conf to alsa-base.conf.old and reboot?  Sometimes newer versions of packages may update their parameters/options.  The best way to troubleshoot imo, is to strip the sound settings bare.  Get it to work on alsa, then pulse, then with jack (if you need it).  Regardless of any changes, this will find where the barrier is.  I'm not really knowledgeable about sound so this is the best idea I can offer.  Good luck!

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

I get this error again 

ALSA error: snd_pcm_hw_params failed: Invalid argument.

I have not a alsa-base.conf file now. But error exists.Does this mean it is pulseaudio related?

EDIT: Actually, I had .asoundrc, I deleted it and now i get this error:

ALSA error: snd_pcm_open failed: Device or resource busy.

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

Okay, Now the error is not there, with the same alsa-base.conf file as before. So the problem was at first .asoundrc. After that the second error I think was due to the fact that pulseaudio grabbed the default alsa card. So, I am going to check which card pulseaudio grabs.

Now I reinstalled pulseaudio-alsa and this error occurs again

ALSA error: snd_mixer_find_selem failed.

ALSA error: snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format failed: Invalid argument.

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

Tell us more about your setup, what changes have you done to the pulse configuration files, how are you login in, do you use one of the big DEs or simply startx or similar? Pulseaudio now uses DBus for activation and if the necessary credentials aren't passed around correctly it will throw a fit. Output of 

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

will probably come far as well. What you may also try as a  solution is masking the pulseaudio socket 

systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket

provided you have other means in  place to start it

I use now ( just to try) KDE5 DE and it starts with sddm display manager. 

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND

/dev/snd/controlC3:  zab         770 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC1D0p:   zab         770 F...m pulseaudio

Right now pulseaudio is in default state. Configuration files are not changed. The only thing I have installed is pulseaudio-alsa that means it creates

  type pulse

For now, I haven't routed pulse to jack. So, alsa to pulse only. When I try to play a music file with alsa output it throws the error mentioned above. When i try to play a music file with pulseaudio output i think pulse grabs wrong device for output. Also, I tried passing alsa to jack only, with loopback device but I have crackling audio. I am not sure what configuration I need, If pulseaudio is needed or If alsa does the trick alone with jack. But now l want to try alsa-pulse-jack method.

What exactly does masking the pulseaudio socket?

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

This situation is extremely frustrating. I have tried everything. I cannot route alsa to poulse. Can anybody help me? This whole thing started after upgrading system. I have no sound for days now.

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

What are you using to test/verify that you don't have sound? do pure pulseaudio using applications also exhibit problems? can you switch streams to the correct card in pavucontrol or similar? Give the output of 

aplay -l
pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks

EDIT:

I think I've read somewhere that nrpacks has been deprecated recently, remove that (I'm also quite dubious if you would actually be able to pass the parameter as part of the slot definition)

EDIT2:
Masking the pulseaudio socket makes it not activated by Dbus so the old methods of starting pulseaudio can be used again, including stuff like autospawn=no.

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

Sorry for "spamming" in your topics but i found it interesting. Could you exmplain this to me:

# HD audio as second card
options snd-hda-intel index=1,-2,3 model=auto vid=1002,1002,1002 pid=4383,aa30,970f

I was told that passing vid/pid options to alsa-base.conf is only proper when it is being added to USB sound device, not normal sound device. Also, what does mean your index=1, -2,3. First card should be called 0, second one should be called 1, and this is in your config, but why there are also -2 and 3? -2 in options, according to ArchWiki (from ubuntu topics as i recall) means that it should not be used at all, so, why after it 3?

Thanks and sorry.


BTW - after updating earlier version of alsa i had no sound also, alsa was leaving my sounds card indexes [just like you, i have few: xfi gamer (was replaced with xonar dgx); nvidia sound chip from GTX970; integrated sound controller from my motherboard, Realtek 1150 and 88x) and i had random lacks of sound. Switched to pulseaudio and have alsa only for skype.

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

So...., I re-installed arch linux. Now on my fresh system I have again the same alsa error. And when I play some music with audacious it does not throw an error but i think it plays in the wrong device.

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

Which device are you currently trying to output from the device alsa has as card 0 or the device pulse has as card 0?  If its the former you may just need to change pulse's default sink.

Same cards as before. Device 0 of alsa, USB CODEC. I folloed instructions from here to route alsa to pulseaudio. Does this pulse's default sink  works well with alsa?

Re: Problems with sound configuration after upgrade.

Did setting the default sink to the device you wanted output from (for instance using pacmd set-default-sink index where index is the index of the sink from pacmd list-sinks) instead of the "HDA ATI HDMI" sink not produce output?

removed extraneous word 'pulse'

I ran, 

pacmd set-default-sink 2

before and after log out nothing changed.

Still, default sink index 0 is hdmi.
