[SOLVED] No soundcard found on vanilla Arch [glkda7219max]

denisuu · 2022-06-01 11:05:58

Hi all,

Problem description:

After using Manjaro for 3 months on my HP14a (BLOOGLET) Chromebook (using MrChromebox's UEFI-FW), I decided to switch to vanilla Arch. Everything is working perfectly except audio. Audio has been quite problematic on Gemini Lake laptops. Thanks to MrChromebox's SMBIOS patches we now have laptop speakers working OOTB (I tested: Manjaro, Debian & Ubuntu). Thanks to nsx2brz workaround script we have fully working audio (headphone-jack, microphone, etc)Full progress: Thesofproject | No output on glkda7219

I moved Manjaro to an SDcard using CloneZilla and installed Arch to my main eMMC device to dual-boot and compare the two.
On both I pulled a list of all installed package to compared them, and installed the missing packages on Arch.

Since I installed the packages below audio works over Bluetooth and USB, but still no soundcard is detected:

alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-oss alsa-plugins alsa-topology-conf alsa-ucm-conf alsa-utils pulse-audio pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-ctl pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp pulseaudio-zeroconf

It really puzzles me why audio is fully working on Manjaro but not on vanilla Arch. I compared the installed packages and systemctl, I'm probably missing something...

Solution

Audio seems to be broken on the mainline 5.18.1-arch1-1 arch kernel. I reverted to LTS (5.15.44-1-lts) and sound was working OOTB.
Like on other distro's sound isn't fully working OOTB though. There's a problem with sound scaling on pulseaudio (not a problem with pipewire) and a workaround is needed to add headphone-jack, microphone, etc.

Sound scaling fix (by u/ericwoud)

cd  /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/ 
sudo cp default.conf default.conf.bak 
sudo nano default.conf

Add the following content:

[General]
auto-profiles = no

[Mapping analog-stereo-speaker]
description = Internal speakers
device-strings = hw:%f,0
channel-map = left,right
direction = output
priority = 9
paths-output = sof-glk-speaker-output
  
[Profile myprofile]
description = GLK-Chromebook
output-mappings = analog-stereo-speaker
priority = 60

Create a file names 'sof-glk-speaker-output.conf' under '/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/' add the following content:

[General]
priority = 200
description-key = analog-output-speaker

[Properties]
device.icon_name = audio-speakers

[Element PGA1.0 1 Master]
volume = merge
override-map. 1= all
override-map.2 = all-left,all-right

[Element Spk]
switch = mute

There's no sof-firmware in your list though the dmesg log suggests it is present. Maybe a regression with the 5.18 kernel? Test LTS or grab a 5.17 variant from the ALA to get a fairer comparison.

Reverting to 5.15.44-1-lts solved it! Should I report this somewhere?
I just installed the LTS kernel and made a new systemd-boot entry. I didn't roll back packages from ALA to match the kernel is it recommended?

Trying to fix this issue I installed a lot of packages. I can probably remove half of these right? Can I find information somewhere on the default packages that are installed on a clean Arch install?
I guess I could just try to remove all of them, the ones that have dependencies won't uninstall anyway right? I could also run archinstall (2.5.0) again on the SDcard and check, since I don't need Manjaro anymore now!

You can always have LTS installed alongside whatever is the current kernel, so you can technically keep using that and occasionally retest the standard kernel to check whether the issue got fixed in an update. The more future proof and better approach would be to git bisect the kernel between a known good and bad version and then actively doing a regression bug report to bugzilla.kernel.org so it can be properly fixed if no one has done so yet. But doing this properly (i.e. with a proper bisect that can accurately identify the faulty commit can be quite time consuming)

From this list, you don't need alsa-firmware since the firmware you need will be from sof-firmware, all of the other things are stuff that might generally be required and is not really anything out of the ordinary so you can keep most of that. one might argue that you are very unlikely to ever need alsa-oss and if so doing the OSS emulation via padsp might be a better/more compatible approach if/while you are using pulseaudio.

denisuu · 2022-06-01 19:35:06

That's a good idea! I'll keep the the original mainline kernel systemd-boot entry so I can try every new kernel release to see if the problem was solved.

To be honest I think the kernel bisecting is a bit above my head. I don't know much about the Linux kernel (yet), I'm quite a newbie to Linux. I could try every release until it breaks and report that, but that's probably not of much help.
Ok thanks, I removed those 2 packages.

I updated the first post with the other fixes that are needed to get audio fully working incase anyone else with glkda7219max needs this. I saw the original posts on SOF's Github because it was too offtopic. That way the info is still posted somewhere when someone Googles: Blooglet, or glkda7219max.

Sound is working again on the latest mainline kernel: 5.18.10-arch1-1 plbossart's kernel patches got merged too, so the only thing this laptop needs now is a working UCM.
