Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

I bought a brand new iMac 27` from the apple store a month ago, and I installed arch linux on it. Everything works well apart from the sound. I tried all sorts of solutions online, but nothing seems to be up to date.
This recent forum post goes over a very similar problem, with most of the out looking almost the same, but the solution "Check your BIOS settings" left me clueless. I'll post the info for my system.

I added this line since it showed up almost everytime an imac was involved.

What do you think I should do to fix this problem?

Thx!

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

Start actual playback of something and repost

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pacmd list-sink-inputs
amixer -c1
dmesg | grep -iE 'snd|hda'

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

Argh I can't read,

amixer -c0

would be the correct card, have you tried without explicitly specifiying a model on your options line? These usually shouldn't be the first thing to try, and I don't like how you only get a generic codec,

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

So, i tried removing that option alltogether, and I still don't have sound.

That said, here goes the output of amixer -c0

❯ amixer -c0
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
  Capabilities: pvolume
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 255
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB]
  Front Right: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB]

p.s. thx for taking the time to answer!

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

Where did you find this value for the model?
Just in case, have you tried:

options snd-hda-intel model=imac27

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

I tried with this setting, and it still doesn't work.

I got the setting from a the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IM … work_right

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

I don't see the "122" on the page.
Have you tried to plug headphones?

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

You're right, there is no 122. I found that from somewhere else, and assumed it was from that same page. Sorry!
Unfortunately, the result is the same, with or without 122.

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

If I understand correctly the output jack is another sound card (Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Radeon RX 580])?
Have you tried it with headphones or external speakers?

Maybe you can also try (with reboot):

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

@sheok that's the hdmi card he wants output from the internal card but that isn't properly detected.

@taric Can you post a

dmesg | grep -iE 'snd|hda'

as well

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

Try with the entry sheoak suggests and/or go through the mac models listed in here if none of these work, the kernel might simply not have support yet. Would be interesting to find out which chip we have here exactly.

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

I've tried booting with the entry sheoak suggested, and the result is the same. Would you like me to post dmesg with the entry actually added to the kernel?
I had checked the alsa project page before, and I didn't know where to look. Searching for iMac only leads to release notes without any hint. Could u point at what i want to be looking at?

I do have a feeling this is a kernel thing. It's a brand new imac, with a brand new magic mouse 2 that I can't get to scroll!
What do I need to do - where do I need to ask - to know if it's indeed a kernel lack of support?

Also, if I were to try and connect the imac with an external bluetooth headset, would I be facing the same limitation? (I tried doing that already, but simply pairing the bluetooth is not enough, and there are more dbus work that needs to be done, but I didn't feel the courage to do that yet.)

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

I find it strange that the Radeon RX 580 uses snd-hda-intel but I don't have much knowledge about drivers things…
Did you try all sound output, jack/internal speaker/hdmi… anything that is on the iMac? I read some posts (in french) about conflicts with this sound card.

I don't know for the blueetooth but I would try if I had a headset for sure smile

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

I was also surprised to find that 'graphics' cards are used for sound! But, I also have no knowledge here.

Can you link me to the post? At this point, any info I get is helpful, so I can excuse the post's french ! ( I'm joking smile )

I did manage to connect a bluetooth headset, but, as I said above, it required more work to make it work on dbus. For now, I just used the lazy route, and I play sounds on my macbook which is synced with synergy. But, i like to think of this as a temporary fix.

https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1985353

but he was using a nvidia. He basically says that he upgraded to ubuntu 15 and it just worked.
if you have one or can make one quickly you could try an ubuntu live usb, see if it works and copy the settings.

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

Something I'm only realizing now, none of the model adjustments will have targeted the correct card, because HDMI is initialized first. If that codec is correct, then we have only two other models to try, but to properly set them up, your options line should look like

options snd-hda-intel model=auto,mba6

or

options snd-hda-intel model=auto,gpio0

and while we are at it if these two don't work try the original and "more correct" version of

options snd-hda-intel model=auto,imac27

remember to reboot between tries.

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

Just to be on the safe side, this is a sample output for modprobe, right?

> cat /etc/modprobe.d/asla-base.conf
options sng-hda-intel model=auto,imac27

if so, then yeah, I tried all three, and none worked!

Re: Can't get sound on brand new iMac 27`

You have sng-hda-intel in there instead of snd-hda-intel so I'm not surprised tongue

Something that might be further useful, for each of the tries can you post the full output of

/proc/asound/card1/codec*

if none of that works we might be out of luck, the only thing I'd assume you could still try, without starting to look at code fixes, would be to attempt to find a working port with hdajackretask. Other than that, maybe the issue would have already been fixed in the newer kernel and you might give linux-mainline from the AUR a whirl, though that will of course take quite a while to compile
