[SOLVED] No sound card detected

Miles28 · 2020-12-29 12:55:26

Hi.
I have changed the motherboard and after restarting Archlinux everything works well except the sound card.

$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No existe el fichero o el directorio

$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

lsmod | grep snd

Audio group exists and my user is added.
Previous motherboard card was Realtek ALC887 7.1-Channel High Definition Audio and the new one is Realtek ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio.
The sound card works well after testing with another OS I don't want to write here
I'm missing something and don't know how to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

Install sof-firmware and alsa-ucm-conf: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … A_Firmware

If that isn't it post

dmesg | grep -E 'sof|snd'

Miles28 · 2020-12-29 13:31:27

I have installed those packages and restarted.

mmm looks more problematic in this case, you aren't trying to use the LTS kernel are you? linux-firmware is installed? Do you have custom .conf in /etc/modprobe.d that tries to enforce something?

Miles28 · 2020-12-29 13:50:48

I have tried with both LTS and no LTS kernel. Linux-firmware is installed and have no custom .conf files in /etc/modprobe.d.

V1del · 2020-12-29 13:54:37

Is your igpu accessible/connected to a display? Maybe try disabling that in your UEFI if you aren't actively trying to use the i915 driver

Miles28 · 2020-12-29 14:08:28

I'm using the igpu by dvi to a monitor. I don't have any dgpu installed on this machine. Is it what you want me to disable or maybe i have misunderstood your response.

Miles28 · 2020-12-29 16:15:57

I have tested with two liveusb distributions and the sound card problem persists.

Miles28 · 2020-12-29 18:04:03

I have found a solution on https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=327629

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel-fix.conf <<<'options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1'

Apparently it's a buggy bios firmware.

V1del, thanks a lot anyway for dedicating your time with my problem.

ShadowGekko · 2021-08-04 11:32:14

Even though this is solved, I'm adding the way I managed to solve it, as this method didn't quite work.

Here is how I was able to resolve this:

sudo vim /etc/default/grub
Find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 to the end of it. (ex: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0")
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Reboot.

If that was your fix, then installing sof-firmware instead would be better, as now you don't have a mic (unless sof-firmware didn't work).

In any case this doesn't appear to be in any way related to your issue, aside of the "common" symptom that the soundcard wasn't detected, but Miles28 didn't have a SOF card, while you most likely have one.

Also dmic_detect=0 is deprecated and slated for removal, if you want something more sustainable use snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 instead

Closing this old thread.
