[SOLVED] No sound after suspend

I never had any sound problem at all. The sound just worked.

And I'm left with dummy output. I didn't change anything alsa/pulse related. Btw, I'm not using Nvidia hdmi but Realtek.

I could go the route suggested here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … leshooting
but I'm wondering what happened, as Suspend/Waking was never a problem for the sound?

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Alright, somehow my pulseaudio in /.config was corrupted so I deleted the whole dir, reinstalled and set volume in gnome settings again. It works now after suspend, normally.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Actually, no. Still happens after suspend.

Some findings:

- It happens when music was playing and Suspend was pressed or initiated (without previously stopping the music).
- Dummy output is shown after wake, no sound can be heard.
- Sound is working normally if PC was suspended while silent (no music, no online radio streaming).

pacmd list-cards shows 0 cards, no sink.

pulseaudio -k fixes it and after a few secs, pacmd list-cards shows the card and there's a working sound. However, this is not a desirable fix. I want to get to the root of the problem.


The problem here is that this does not happen all the time! But in 1 out of 3. Enough to be very irritating, but not enough to exactly pinpoint the issue by myself. I tried reinstalling pulseaudio 13, but no avail. Same happens.

P.S. the above mentioned findings in journal were NOT related to this issue. It was about HDMI on Nvidia card, and not on this Realtek.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

I had similar issues for a while. It only started happening with a certain kernel version. It was fixed in a later version.

Maybe your problem is also because of a certain kernel version introducing it? If you can remember when your problem first started showing up, try looking through the pacman log file (it's in "/var/log/pacman.log"). The following filters the file to just the interesting lines:

grep -E '\] (ins|upg|rem)\w+ ' /var/log/pacman.log | less +G

While I had those problems, doing "pulseaudio -k" didn't work for me to fix audio. The way I had to do it was with the following script that first "disconnects" the audio device and then a second later starts it again:

#!/bin/bash

[[ $UID = 0 ]] || exec sudo "$0"

echo 1 > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1b.0/remove'
sleep 1
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

That "0000:00:1b.0" part of the script has to be customized for a different computer. That ID is shown in the output of "lspci -D".

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Thanks Ropid. I don't remember exactly, but I think it started when 5.4.10 was installed.

I could be wrong though, because this happens when audio is playing _while_ PC is being suspended. It could be that I suspended my PC before without any sound coming so all seemed good even though I possibly already had this issue (I'm a relatively new linux user)

Further, it does not happen every time, even now (usually some time have to pass between suspend -> wake. If I do it too soon, sound goes on normally).

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Keeping my fingers crossed but sounds seems to be working after commenting this in default.pa

### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
# load-module module-suspend-on-idle

Still early to tell... could be just a coincidence.

Update: Nope, after 6th suspend it gave me Dummy again. argh.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Hoped newest kernel fixed it, nope.

Can anyone help me, is it possible to explicitly say to pulseaudio not to lose/change/whatever default sink? And that is my realtek chip card.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Check dmesg after the suspend, for some reason your device doesn't become available immediately. Look at

journalctl -b --user-unit pulseaudio

as well.

Maybe also test a bigger kernel difference, check whether you can reproduce on linux-lts for example. There have been quite a few reports for various suspension issues in the 5.4 series.

Also remove the NOT solved from the title.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

I will dmesg after it fails and post findings here and try lts if nothing helps. Thanks!

I do think, somehow, that these commented modules help. While yesterday 6th suspend was deaf again, today I commented one more module and so far so good after numerous wakes.

### Automatically move streams to the default sink if the sink they are
### connected to dies, similar for sources
# load-module module-rescue-streams

### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
# load-module module-suspend-on-idle

Not sure if this is placebo big_smile or not, keeping my fingers crossed... again. I only wonder what are the consequences of these commented out modules?

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Should both be placebo, module-rescue-streams is for ensuring you are not completely mute if you remove a device (irrelevant in your case, but if you had e.g. an USB card that doesn't run into this issue, your audio would at least play from there and move back when the device restores) that one has guaranteed no bearing on this issue.

module-suspend-on-idle "might" have an effect, but if this only when you are suspending with active sound playing, then this also shouldn't be relevant as your sinks aren't suspended when actively playing. This might have a slight relevance because pulse keeps the lock on the card and if there's some interference from another source that might grab the card away from under pulse, pulse should keep it. Incidentally what are you using for playback? It might be that whatever you are using here, sees the card before pulse, continues playback  without pulse, pulse can't query the card when it becomes aware, pulse generates a dummy device.

Have to agree with you there. The fact that this doesn't always help makes it rather dubious. Still, I find the whole issue rather strange, as I cannot say - hey my machine doesn't have sound after suspend. It's more like it - sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. And under certain circumstances. That's why I hoped for some setting rather than kernel bug. I'm no expert in this by any means, but this looks like some timing issue of some sorts.

As for playback, I use Lollypop for my home albums and Firefox for online radios. It happens on both.

I also have HDMI by Nividia that I have disabled it with

options snd_hda_intel probe_only=1,0

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Did you double check that your indices aren't swapping out under you with e.g aplay -l ? It could be that you are disable probing the wrong device on wakeup as udev becomes aware of them.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Nope, same happens... like, every 3rd suspend. sad It's so annoying.

One thing I have noticed, when it's dummy output, aplay -l shows this:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

However, when pulseaudio is restarted Generic HD audio line is slightly changed:

card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Of course I don't exactly know what it means, but it lists Subdevices 1/1 during dummy output and 0/1 when it's actually working.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Why is it registered as generic in the first place? Did you set that? Setting that can very easily and very verifiably lead to issues like that. What's your output for

systool -vm snd_hda_intel
dmesg | grep snd

but yes at this point I'd say it's safe to assume a kernel bug, check with linux-lts or so, unless my command turns something up.

That's how kernel/linux found it. I don't even know how to set that. If it's possible to change it, please feel free to tell me how.

It could be kernel bug, yes... I don't even know what to try anymore. I will try LTS some other day too.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Things have changed a little bit.

I have bought another monitor that I connect via HDMI. So now when I suspend, it's not dummy output anymore but HDMI/Displayport2.

It's like pulseaudio/linux takes the fastest opened sink after suspend and uses it. How can I say to pulseaudio "please stop !@$%!@$ using other sinks, focus/force using realtek ffs" ?!

Because, as I see, realtek is available.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Beats me if it works as I only have the one sink.

I also don't know if it's been suggested as I searched this thread for 'default.pa' and only saw the one instance.

Have you tried this?

I also don't know if it's been suggested as I searched this thread for 'default.pa' and only saw the one instance.

Have you tried this?

That's the thing I wanted to try but didn't know what to write there. Thanks!

However, even though the card is listed in aplay -l, when trying to list sinks, it displays HDMI only.

It's like the first (main and only) sink is lost during suspend, as documented by ALSA.

If I'm not mistaken, it's impossible to call that sink because it's lost, as shown in the journal above.

What puzzles me even more is that simply restarting the pulseaudio -k, makes everything alright and suddenly there IS a 2nd sink.

So I'm running back and forth. Is this problem alsa or pulseaudio related? If it's alsa, how can pulseaudio find it with a simple pulseaudio-k restart? Why is the 2nd sink available, what kept it hidden in the first place?

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Thanks on this. You nailed it. It's exactly the same issue I'm facing.

So it seems kernel -> nvidia proprietary driver related... without any workarounds as of now (well, except that pulseaudio -k). sad

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

I don't know, I guess it depends on why you are using the nvidia proprietary driver.

If your not a hard core gamer you might consider the nouveau driver.

The xf86-x-x drivers seem to get alot of bad publicity and video drivers are still something of a mystery to me.

So I don't know if you have any other workarounds.


Edit: almost forgot to mention, my laptop has a quadro card with the nvidia high definition sound hardware. With the nvidia blob I see it, with nouveau I don't.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

^ I do play games with steam and proton. Having all the power GPU gives is certainly a perk for me for current and future games. Currently the games have been working wonderfully with zero penalties. It's the same fps/experience as in Windows.

That being said, I still didn't try nouveau driver. I will do it for testing purposes (also trying to help that pulseaudio dev guy). At least we got closer to finding a real issue here.

Thanks on your laptop findings too!

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after suspend

Tested with nouveau drivers, 9 suspends, no sink-losing.

But alas, cannot use it. Steam games cannot even start.
