cant fix audio at all, have tried multiple fixes

epichq · 2023-04-04 01:31:21

hello all!
I have tried with many fixes to fix my audio but to nothing
I am using a sorta custom installation process made for a specific device and although everything is working it's my audio i have scoured through multiple forum posts and got help on discord on how to solve this but nothing has worked so far

i ran

inxi -SMA

and my audio is

AMD driver: snd_hda_intel
API: ALSA v: k6.2.8-arch1-1 status: kernel-api
Server-1: PulseAudio v: 16.1 status: active

ran

pulseaudio

and got

pid.c: Daemon already running
main.cs: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

ran

pulseaudio -vvv

I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted

E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.

Here are the fixes I have tried

yay -Sy sof-firmware

(but later figured out i have PulseAudio)

pulseaudio --start
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio
rm -r ~/.config/pulse
pulseaudio -k

rm -r ~/.config/pulse/*

systemctl enable --user pulseaudio.service
systemctl enable --user pulseaudio.socket

killing pulseaudio and rebooting system

tried installing amixer and running amixer sset audiodevice unmute.

installing pipewire
and adding me to audio group

my pipwire error when i do

pipewire

[E][00575.264622] mod.protocol-native | [module-protocol-: 711 lock_socket()] server 0x55ad0f5fcac0: unable to lock lockfile '/run/user/1000/pipewire-0.lock': Resource temporarily unavailable (maybe another daemon is running)

if there is something that i left out and need to provide just say int he comments and i will provide.

Then that's sorta not supported here. What is this installation process? And what is this specific device?

That is not a fix for anything, but rather a good way to break lots of things. Frst, yay is not your package manager, pacman is. But more immediately important is that partial upgrades are not supported. Properly upgrade your system before anything else.

"Figured out"? So this is definitely not an arch linux system.

i am running arch
I have Pacman but I choose to install and use yay instead

I thought I had SOF software but then after digging I had PulseAudio and I messed up
and yes I might of messed up by doing so and by doing only a partial upgrade.
doing the yay command also worked for a discord user of mine and that is why I tried it

I was using a custom installation process that would work with Chromebooks well and show my full inxi -SMA command
it proves that I am using a distro of arch linux also
System:
Host: gaming Kernel: 6.2.8-arch1-1 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: KDE Plasma
v: 5.27.3 Distro: Arch Linux
Machine:
Type: Laptop System: HP product: Grunt v: rev6 serial: <superuser required>
Mobo: HP model: Grunt v: rev6 serial: <superuser required> UEFI: coreboot
v: Google_Grunt.11031.169.0 date: 06/24/2021

But yeah i should ask in better communitys that are more focused for chromebooks instead

Please don't top-quote. This is a board, not email.

i am running arch

We shall see.

Doesn't actually answer that.

Because some moron on youtube suggested that and you were following along?
You wanted to have followeed https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chrome_OS_devices - next to the installation guide on the wiki.

Stop flailing around.

aplay -lL
amixer -c0
amixer -c1
lspci -k

Possibly see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chrome … xing_audio
And probably post your complete system journal:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Ftr:

No, see https://bbs.archlinux.org/misc.php?action=rules

sof-firmware and pulseaudio do not rule each other out, sof-firmware is the low level driver, pulseaudio is a sound server on top of it. None of your outputs have any possible relation to whatever your issue is. What do you get from

sudo dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'
aplay -l
pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sink-inputs

so I made a fresh installation and used this process to do so
the installation process was to install it into a USB and then run that off a Chromebook

pacman -S plasma plasma-wayland-session kde-applications
systemctl enable sddm.service

this is my whole installation process idk if this process breaks rules or not so please inform me.

also when clicking the link for fixing audio it does show for my model base:
AMD Stoney Ridge but I am switching to another more updated Chromebook soon which could be supported there.

i am sorry for wasting your time and provding false information.

my complete journel is:
https://0x0.st/HXz8.txt

as for v1del
here are the commands you asked for
is in this pastebin post
https://pastebin.com/wpZCdeZN

if for any technical reason i cannot have audio on my device just tell me i will move this post to solved

It looks fine, though it is still conspiciously not following the official installation guide but appears to be what would likely be on some third party blog and as a result does at least one thing that is really silly and wasteful - though not likely harmful. Is there a reason to use that blog or whatever the source is rather than the official documentation in our wiki?

Try passing "amdgpu.dpm=0 amdgpu.aspm=0 amdgpu.runpm=0 amdgpu.bapm=0 pcie_aspm=off" to the kernel commandline, dpm=0 might cause the boot to "fail" (you don't see anything)

This is a chromebook and issues with it's audio support for normal linux uses quite notorious and known, you might need firmware that isn't redistributable easily, I've found https://github.com/eupnea-linux/audio-scripts which you might be able to use, you may need a chromeos recovery image of the chromeos version that shipped with your device.
