[6.9.9] builtin audio stopped working.

Hello,

I upgraded to linux 6.9.9 (from 6.6.x) and my builtin audio stopped working :-(

Any hints on how to get it fixed?

Thank you.

Re: [6.9.9] builtin audio stopped working.

Hi,

Are you using ALSA? PulseAudio? PipeWire? Do you have an external audio sink you can test with? Try

speaker-test -t wav -c 6

Also worth a shot is to see if your sound is muted for some reason.

alsamixer

Make sure alsamixer has your sound output set to a reasonable volume and not muted (should display OO instead of MM).
If you are using PipeWire, then

wpctl status

should tell you what audio devices are available and selected.

Cheers,

Re: [6.9.9] builtin audio stopped working.

snd_soc_avs has somewhat of a track record of breaking the proper driver getting loaded, but you should have noticed a fallout from that since the 6.9 series started (or you've just been lucky and the correct driver won the init race).

In addition to the checks above, please post

aplay -lL
sudo dmesg | grep snd

and post the outputs in [ code] [ /code] tags without the spaces.

Re: [6.9.9] builtin audio stopped working.

Hello! All.

Thank you for your quickly jumping to help and and sorry for my late reply :-(

The built-in sound and mic have started working again after I upgraded to the 6.10.0-arch1-2 and re-installed the below packages:

sudo pacman -Syuv alsa-card-profiles alsa-firmware alsa-plugins alsa-ucm-conf alsa-lib alsa-topology-conf alsa-tools  portaudio pipewire pipewire-audio pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa

Howeve,r the after the package reinstall,  the internal speakers' showed MUTED for some reason and I was able to unmute them via  Gnome settings => Sound controls which I was not able to do earlier.

For a reference, I'm copying below outputs for the commands suggested on this thread earlier:

Good afternoon, dear! I installed the system on a new laptop, I don't have the kernel

 6.10.7-arch1-1 
 and sound.
00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-N PCH High Definition Audio Controller
	Subsystem: IP3 Tech (HK) Limited Device 6007
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
	Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_avs, snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl

I don't have any sound
And everything works for you on 6.10.0, do  understand correctly?

Re: [6.9.9] builtin audio stopped working.

Please don't abuse this as an omnibus thread for all audio related issues. Since audio issues can very easily vary from person to person, I suggest each of you make a new topic and post the outputs of

sudo dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
aplay -lL
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
