Can't complie Realtek ALC892 High Definition Audio Codecs

XDarkAngelX · 2014-08-25 08:33:28

I have been having some sound issues (computer sound gets leak into my mic) the cause seems to be the driver fault.
So I have downloaded the Realtek sound drivers but I fail to compile them.

the error get when I compile is

After some digging and trying to see what is the problem with the fget_light function I have discovered that the problem there is no declaration for it in file.h
I also did a little comparsion with my laptop which have ubutnu installed on it and it has that fget_light function declaration in it's file.h.

So does anyone know if there is a declaration for the fget_light function somewehre else in arch ? or if I can replace it with something else to make the driver complie ?

No problems with ALC892 on my side. Check jacks function with hdajackretask from alsa-tools. Post:

aplay -lL; lspci -nn | grep -i audio; lsmod | grep ^snd; amixer;
lsusb #if a usb sound card is involved;
# or use the alsa-info script

Edit: Ergo I would leave the Realtek drivers alone for now and try to get alsa running properly on the sound card first.

Checking the debian hardware list with vid:pid, in your case 8086:1c20, reports snd-hda-intel as working and it is also in the source code. Please post also:

systool -v -m snd_hda_intel

Seems like snoop should be enabled, I would change parameter that first.

Side note: Next time provide also a link to the drivers you are downloading, so that there an unambiguous way to reproduce it.

also how do I enable snoop ?

emeres · 2014-08-25 11:36:01

Look at the output of systool, it is already enabled, try the other way by disabling it.

options snd-hda-intel snoop=0 model=auto

You may also want to try another model for that codec or maybe a very similar one, although autoprobing should take care of that.

What I mean is that when I hear music and talk to someone on skype they can hear my music
When I looked on my mircophone output when I hear music I could see that it goes up and down just like the music I was playing.
I thought in the start that it might be a problem with my fornt jack so I tried connecting the microphone to the rear jack but still got same issue also oddly enought when I checked the output of the front jack which in this point is unplugged,
I saw that the music still get routed to it somehow.

emeres · 2014-08-25 11:50:17

Simple mixer control 'Capture',0
  Capabilities: cvolume cswitch cswitch-joined
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Capture 0 - 65536
  Front Left: Capture 30089 [46%] [on]
  Front Right: Capture 30089 [46%] [on]

I would disable capture for starters. I also assume you use pulseaudio to get skype running, which you must mention with sound problems, that complicates the situation further. If there are no options in alsamixer, try amixer:

amixer sset Capture off

To rule out pulseaudio, see if you get the feedback without pulseaudio running. Do you use speakers? Is the volume set high/loud? It could be feedback from the speakers.

XDarkAngelX · 2014-08-25 12:06:05

I use headset but the mic isn't picking up the sound from the headphones cuase if I unplug both of them and play music I will still get the same issue ....
also it is not pulseaudio since I was having this issue when I used only alsa.
I disabled caputre in alsamixer but than I have get no sound at all to the microphone.

But the music does not get picked up now? Laptop or desktop?

XDarkAngelX · 2014-08-25 12:11:29

desktop and yes now the music does not get picked up , nothing get picked up

emeres · 2014-08-25 12:21:11

Maybe the gain or boost is set to high, but it does not show up in amixer. I would try it with capture at lower levels nevertheless. Should it continue to happen, take another look at hdajackretask. Since this is a desktop a multi-purpose jack is less likely*. You could however use another jack as microphone input and see if that helps. Other than that and the aspects mentioned in previous posts, you would have to take a look at the datasheet and hda-verb. There might and should be further settings available.

Edit: *That could hard-feed the sound to the microphone back.

btw I didn't try to disable the snoop thingy I just didn't understand what I should do to disable it

emeres · 2014-08-25 12:42:10

Use modprobe options, read the manual.

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel snoop=0 model=auto

XDarkAngelX · 2014-08-25 12:43:34

Do I need to create a new file ? my modprobe.d folder is empty

emeres · 2014-08-25 12:47:06

Did you read the manual?

man modprobe

You need to become more self-sufficient, otherwise you will drift towards help-vampirism.

XDarkAngelX · 2014-08-25 13:08:57

Well tried it still same issue I guess take a look at hda-verb and the datasheet maybe something there will enlighten me about why it happens
thanks for the help anyway.

Search also for vid:pid combination or other ALCs with that issue. Should you find something, report it here.
Datasheet and documentation for hda-verb.

Try:

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=generic

Any progress?

graysky · 2014-09-02 11:22:49

Am I the only one confused as to why the op would try to compile that driver? It is included in the alsa packages from our repos.

First sentence of the OP.

graysky · 2014-09-02 12:10:46

No offense, but that doesn't answer my question. The drivers he/she is trying to compile are just upstream alsa frozen at some version, makes no sense to try to use them ans now upstream's proper release.

emeres · 2014-09-02 12:29:07

I just pointed out, why OP thinks [⁣s]he needs the rt driver. When you look through the thread, you will recognise, that I try to solve the issue using what alsa comes with. If I recall correctly there are some differences in the drivers and their structure, but I only skimmed through the code.

XDarkAngelX · 2014-11-07 16:50:25

Today I tried to intall ubuntu to see if the problem I am having is specific to Arch or it is just linux not liking my hardware.
When I ran ubuntu the issue seem to have disappered .... so it seems it is either I am doing something wrong or just a odd thing with Arch ... although that seems unlikely to me.

Sorry for the delayed replay , I just most of the time not at home so I don't have mcuh time to fix the problem.
