Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

dpward, using the linux 5.4.1-arch1 package from testing and the new sof-firmware I finally see the input device. I've made none of the modifications described on this thread, besides installing these two packages. But while the device shows up, it doesn't seem to work (I've tried arecord as well as using it in Chrome via pulseaudio). Here's some debug information that might be useful:

# arecord -l

Finally hoping for a out-of-the-box experience that works!

Does the workaround in this comment help?
Do you have alsa 1.2.1.2 installed (which includes those changes)?

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

Kubuxu, I followed the Install SOF topology step, but saw no changes.

dpward, I don't understand what the workaround is asking to change in /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/sof-hda-dsp/HiFi.conf. The my microphone seems to be detected, however, sound recorded by it, is just a noise described in that bug is exactly what I see (seems right since I'm using the same device as the person who left that comment, X1 Carbon 7th Gen).

Yes I think so, I'm fully updated + linux 5.4.1.arch1-1 from testing:

# pacman -Q|grep alsa
alsa-lib 1.2.1.2-2
alsa-topology-conf 1.2.1-1
alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.1.2-1
alsa-utils 1.2.1-1
zita-alsa-pcmi 0.3.2-2

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

fresh install of linux 5.3.13-arch1-1 this morning and experiencing the same issues Mocco had

The SOF drivers are disabled in that version. Please install linux 5.4.1-arch1 from the testing repository, and then also install the sof-firmware package.

I am curious if this works, or if you encounter the same issue as daaku. It might be an upstream bug which should be reported here.

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

X1Yoga (2019) owner here (hardware VERY similar to X1 G7)

I built linux 5.4.1-arch1 and installed the outdated version 1.3.1 of the sof-firmware package. Recording or playing back didn't work with audacity, but testing the speakers using the tool provided by kde worked (the first half second or so was too quiet). I didn't test the microphone with another program.

EDIT: microphone doesn't seem to work with arecord. Also the speakers are now (with linux 5.4.1) only stereo. Before they were I think 4.0

EDIT2: When building the sof-firmware package with the "testing" src available from their ftp repo, it fails to load with

[   17.644053] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: warning: No matching ASoC machine driver found

EDIT3: This https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/issues/2134 might be relevant, even if for other hardware.

EDIT4: Sound doesn't work in firefox, but in VLC. EDIT5: Nevermind, application specific volume was set down to 0.

I have same model as you, but not (quite) working.  Speakers work, microphone shows up, but mike doesn't record.

What configuration do you have running that you were able to get it to work?

I'm running with the following configuration:
* linux 5.4.1.arch1-1
* sof-firmware 1.3.1-1
* cd /usr/lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg && ln -s sof-hda-generic-4ch.tplg sof-hda-generic.tplg

Any suggestions what else I might need to do to get this work?

Thanks,

DR

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

So, I tried to install linux-mainline (5.5rc1-1) kernel with sof-firmware (1.3.1-1).

The mic is finally detected! It even seems to record stereo, but the quality is terrible, it is hardly possible to understand speech.
Any ideas, how to improve that?

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

I don't see why you couldn't try the newer 1.4.1 release, which includes new topology files as well. 1.4.1 by the way works on my end except for mic playback, although I am using an old 5.3 kernel. It's frustrating because while the mic worked with 1.3 (and with no distortion), JACK server doesn't work. I'm considering upgrading to 5.4 pf and seeing if that will help matters.

edit: after I had cleared out the sof folder and uploaded the topology from the newest release (with the symlink from the 4ch to the main generic .tplg file), and copied the signed .ri file to the correct place, I've got both speakers and mic + line in working. Unfortunately JACK still wont start (saying it cannot initialize the audio driver). Can anyone test JACK on their end to see if they have the same behaviour?

* cd /usr/lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg && ln -s sof-hda-generic-4ch.tplg sof-hda-generic.tplg

Looks like I *finally* got this working!  (On my HP EliteBook x360 1030 G4)

Last piece of the puzzle apparently was that my microphone is hardware device 0,6, rather than 0,7 like most other people have posted.

So for the record, this is the configuration that works for me:
* linux 5.4.1.arch1-1
* sof-firmware 1.3.1-1
* cd /usr/lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg && ln -s sof-hda-generic-4ch.tplg sof-hda-generic.tplg
* echo "load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,6" >> /etc/pulse/default.pa

Looking forward to removing some of these hacks once kernel 5.5 comes out.

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

Hmmm ... looks like I spoke too soon.  The microphone works ... in that it picks up sound.  However, volume is very low, and speech sounds like it's in slow machine.  Looks like I've got more debugging to do.  :-(

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

Did anyone experience problems with switching to headphones, and may this workaround also solve that issue?

In my case, if I connect my headphones to the audio out, Alsa/Pulse/Gnome is not switching to the headphones and also is not detecting them.

OK, I think I've *finally* got this working.  Final issue was forcing pulse to use 4 channels for recording.  (That was why it was recording everything at half speed.)

Final configuration:

* linux 5.4.2.arch1-1
* sof-firmware 1.3.1-1
* cd /usr/lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg && ln -s sof-hda-generic-4ch.tplg sof-hda-generic.tplg
* echo "load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,6 channels=4" >> /etc/pulse/default.pa

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

I can't manage to get mic detected with 'linux' kernel, but got it detected with 'linux-mainline' 5.5.0.

* linux-mainline 5.5rc2
* sof-firmware 1.3.1-1
* cd /usr/lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg && ln -s sof-hda-generic-4ch.tplg sof-hda-generic.tplg
* echo "load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:sofhdadsp,6 channels=4" >> /etc/pulse/default.pa

Sound in applications is still slow, but I was experimenting with arecord and could get a perfectly fine record using the next options:
arecord -d 5 -c 4 -r 48000 -D hw:sofhdadsp,6 -f S32_LE /tmp/voice.wav

The '-f S32_LE' flag is what made the difference.

Is there any way to make this configuration default for all applications?

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

IIUC, this won't work with linux 5.4.7 on Arch, though, because Arch has SOF disabled in the kernel after 5.4.2 (until 5.5).

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

I think DMIC detect is still disabled in that kernel.  It looks like it only got enabled in 5.4.1 and 5.4.2

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

At this point I'm not sure which topology file I'm running.
I think it is the one from first post in this thread, as sof-hda-generic.tplg or sof-hda-generic-4ch.tplg (both are replaced by the same file on my system).
sha256 of the file: 4733d52a2203a4a4861cbeb431661d681a9d89250d20710f7723cb4f28821480
I'm getting occasional DSP panic (about once a day) but otherwise it works.
I have also following modules on my blacklist:

blacklist snd_hda_intel
blacklist snd_soc_skl

EDIT: it stopped working after updating to 5.4.11.arch1-1, getting DSP panic right away.
EDIT2: Works after downgrading to 5.4.10.arch1-1

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

With kernel 5.5 and progdrasil steps I get the mic to work. The speakers also work but only with alsa:

aplay -D plughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

Pulseaudio says:

EDIT: question, could the [solved] label be removed?
EDIT2:
calling:

pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0 channels=4

Makes speakers work. I still don't know why it won't work out of the box.

Re: [SOLVED] Fix for microphone on Lenovo X1 Gen 7

with this

load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0 channels=4

added to mcedit /etc/pulse/default.pa the sound started to work.
But the quality and loudness are still not Ok. How is it possible to make it louder?
