ALSA: HDMI Audio stops working after PulseAudio started/stopped

Hi,

I have been diagnosing an issue with HDMI Audio Out for a few weeks and I am stuck.
I would appreciate some help and/or pointers to other boards for more ALSA/PulseAudio questions (I am not even sure right now whether the issue is caused by ALSA or PA).

In short:

  • After booting, before PulseAudio has started, sound works when going through ALSA directly (through aplay -D plughw:0,3).

  • When starting PulseAudio (in the course of an X11 session, but the same happens when running PA in system-wide mode), HDMI output is visible in PA but no sound can be heard when playing.

  • When stopping PulseAudio again, and going through ALSA directly again (aplay as above), no sound is heard.

  • At this point, only a reboot helps.

I suspect that PA is re-configuring something within ALSA but my knowledge of ALSA is too limited to go on from here.
Eventually, I would like to get PA to work, of course, but it seems like PA is changing/breaking something in ALSA so I feel like I am tackling the root course by finding out why ALSA stops working.

In the last weeks, I tried several things to no avail. I am trying my best to reconstruct what I tried, please let me know if I can provide more info:

  • Hardware: Intel NUC NUC11PAHi5

  • HDA Intel PCH (this seems to be my sound card?)

  • ALC256 (this is the "codec"? not sure what that means though... the semantics of "codec" in ALSA do not seem to match my understanding of that word)

  • The HDMI port in question is connected to a Philips Smart TV (for testing, I am using both the built-in sound of the TV as well as a connected sound bar, both either work or don't work at the same time, so it's not the sound bar that's the issue)

  • When using plughw:0,3 as a device with aplay, I hear sound (as long as I haven't started PA yet), so that is the device I need (for some reason I have 11 HDMI ports visible by ALSA, so I had to track that down)

The commands I use to test audio through alsa are the following, and they all either work or not work at the same time:

  • speaker-test -D hw:0,3 -c 2

  • aplay -D plughw:0,3 /root/Noise.wav (that wave file is coming from /usr/share/sounds/alsa)

My alsa-info before starting PulseAudio, when audio works: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=f264e3040 … 9bb4a9f49f
My alsa-info after starting PulseAudio, when audio stops working: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=588cbee7e … 4380619f8f

The files seem to have no significant difference (except for timestamps and an audio log about the PA unit being started in between).

Any help would be appreciated. I am very happy to provide more info, test kernel options, module options, try a custom compiled kernel etc.
Thank you in advance!

Re: ALSA: HDMI Audio stops working after PulseAudio started/stopped

Post

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs

while trying to play from PA. in code tags

That these speaker-test invocations start to fail while the card is in active use by PA is normal and expected you'd usually route all playback via PA.

That's me playing a YouTube video through Google Chrome (but the application itself doesn't seem to be an issue - also no sound can be heard from VLC or the gnome settings dialog).

Just as a note, I understand that speaker-test shouldn't work while PA is active. The interesting thing is that even after stopping PA again, I hear no sound anymore through the same speaker-test command that works before PA is started.
