[SOLVED] Sound card (HDA Intel) not working after kernel26 2.6.31.3-1

josephg · 2009-10-12 07:51:35

Hello there!

My sound stopped working after I boot the system, then I notice that the sound card was identified (lspci), but it received no device (/dev/snd). I installed the new kernel image (2.6.31.3-1) around midnight today and then reboot the computer around 2 AM today.. after that, my soundcard doesn't work anymore. So, not sure the reason is the kernel update, but it is my guess.

Does some one know why it is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot!

Update: I just did an downgrade in the versions of kernel26 and kernel26-firmware and the sound started working again after a system boot. So, basically, I solve my issue using a workaround. If someone want to debug the issue, no problem for me reinstalling these packages.

Just let me know.

TheSaint · 2009-10-12 08:44:04

I just faced similar situation, but solved by running alsaconf.
It found in the alsa-utils package, if you don't have it.

scio · 2009-10-12 11:54:48

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALS … s_and_test did the trick for me.

josephg · 2009-10-12 15:24:46

Thanks both of you for the reply, but it seems that both ideas won't work. I tested them and it just keep point to the fact that my linux found my soundcard (see the lspci output above), but can't associate a device to it (see /dev/snd above)

I have reasons to believe that this is the kernel package. I'm saying that because I did an downgrade of kernel26, kernel26-firmware and its dependency, nvidia, and the sound worked again after a reboot. Right now I upgraded these packages and, again, the sound is not working.

TheSaint and scio, did you upgrade the kernel to 2.6.31.3 and had this issue?

ChemBro · 2009-10-12 16:10:18

Same problem here. Audio doesn't work anymore after kernel-update + alsaconf didn't work (to get the audio going).

EDIT: Okay, it actually does work, but only via headphones... Why?

EDIT: Okay, works now.

ChemBro, Can you show us your Audio device with "lspci -v" ?

Yes, I had this issue. Re-doing the alsa setup fixed it for me.

Are you positive that your case is the same as mine? As I said, no device is set for my soundcard (as "ls -la /dev/snd" showed) and, therefore, alsa daemon can't even start. It is not a case of "unmute" setup. Please see the output of procedure you advised me (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALS … s_and_test):

And the below output is the result of "sudo alsaconf". Notice that it recognized HDA Intel soundcard, but failed to make it work.

Yes, but after that the fix I'm very satisfied because it brought me an enhanced volume, which fixed to play with all the speakers on my laptop. It may be fixed also for the internal microphone as well as mentioned here, but not yet tested. The only difference my notebook is Aspire 6935

josephg · 2009-10-12 19:44:42

Glad it worked for you, TheSaint. By the way, my sound is onboard, Asus P5K-SE.

So, any ideas anyone?

jpe30 · 2009-10-12 21:22:29

I'm also having sound problems. Not as severe as everyone else, but it seems my microphone has stopped working. All other sound works fine, but my microphone is broken after this kernel install.

Any suggestions on how I can diagnose this problem?

I followed the documentation from the beginning, but it didn't change a thing. I basically stopped before the "Unmute the channels and test" session, as the steps already failed.
Please notice the needed module is snd_hda_intel and, in spite of being already loaded since boot time, my sound doesn't work.

For my vaio I change the options of snd-hda-intel module in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf file by model=vaio, that solve my problem.
Perhaps you could test this :

# file /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=asus

leonardof · 2009-10-14 23:42:18

Works for me, but my sound system is 82801JI -- ICH10 Family, not ICH9.

TheSaint · 2009-10-15 02:18:07

I haven't yet try the latest kernel, but for the moment internal mike still not available
In the other hand I saw more options about sound's input devices

Any workarounds ?

I don't have any, so far. I basically gave up on this issue as reporting it in the forum and bugtracker led to nothing and I didn't find on the web other reports compatible with mine. Maybe a further kernel update can solve this issue...

For now, I did an downgrade (See the How-To here) in kernel version to 2.6.30, which means downgrade the packages kernel26, kernel26-firmware and, in my case, nvidia.

Any ideas, let me know.

Cheers

Garret · 2009-10-20 18:04:29

After some time I reinstalled Archlinux x86_64 on my sony vaio fz21s laptop.
The last time I installed Archlinux the audio worked.

Now it doesn't, and it seems even downgrading packages.
I have the system updated until today (10-20-2009) but downgraded to these packages:
kernel26-2.6.30.6-1-x86_64.pkg
kernel26-firmware-2.6.30-1-x86_64
nvidia-185.18.36-1-x86_64

I re-executed alsaconf and checked if volumes are at their maximum.
I tryied with adding "snd" and "snd-hda-intel" modules into my rc.conf

My /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf is:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=vaio

I tryed removing "options snd-hda-intel model=vaio" too.

Pls @josephg can you post your configs so I can check where I am wrong...

EDIT: Now it seems to work: I found a hidden channel that was muted. All works with the latest packages too

Garret, sorry for taking so long to answer, I was very busy these last few days. I'm glad you were able to solve your issue.

Just for the record. my issue is now solved. After another upgrade, I decided to completely remove configurations lines related to sound in the modprobe.conf, which were:

options snd-hda-intel model=alc883-6stack-dig
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1

Also removed alsa-oss and alsa-utils (for testing, but now reinstalled). After rebooting the computer, the sound seemed to work. My guess is that the "options" lines above (set in modprobe.conf) were once needed, but now looks more like a cause of my sound problem.

Kernel packages plus nvidia, which is a dependency for me, versions installed now:

$ pacman -Q kernel26 kernel26-firmware nvidia
kernel26 2.6.31.5-1
kernel26-firmware 2.6.31-1
nvidia 190.42-1

Cheers.

jj87 · 2010-01-10 08:11:20

i'm having the exact same issue after upgrading to 2.6.32 last night.

my soundcard is the Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller

i've reinstalled alsa, run alsaconf again, put the module options in modprobe.conf... still nothing.

i don't really want to downgrade the kernel, does anyone have any other solutions?

EDIT: ok, so uninstalled alsa and installed oss, rebooted and it works perfectly.

I had one more enhancement, now internal microphone works
Some problem for booting at low temperatures, but I suspect hardware failures.

yvonney · 2010-02-06 18:23:19

yep, same problem, no soundcards found on up to date ARCH system. latest kernel. ich8 intel laptop

ideas?

EDIT: Solved for my system: As I swap between alsa and oss. Can't say what fixed alsa. More understanding mostly I guess. Plus kernel rebuild, after reinstalling OSS and actually using it on hda_intel laptop that was not showing sound card. so after audibly using OSS I then uninstalled it.
