 |
|
I have audio working just fine on 4.12, but when upgrading to 4.14, all audio disappears.
Pulling and plugging the usb-soundcard back in yields:
| Code: | kernel: [ 356.972556] usb 3-12: USB disconnect, device number 5
kernel: [ 358.329144] usb 3-12: new full-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd

kernel: [ 358.456073] usb 3-12: Product: USB Advanced Audio Device
kernel: [ 358.456074] usb 3-12: Manufacturer: C-Media Electronics Inc.
kernel: [ 358.457198] input: C-Media Electronics Inc. USB Advanced Audio Device as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-12/3-12:1.3/0003:0B05:17A0.0005/input/input8

mtp-probe: bus: 3, device: 6 was not an MTP device |
So the kernel appears to correctly identify the card. However at higher levels the card doesn't appear to exist.

| have you updated alsa and pulseaudio too? i don't know if it's normal for USB audio, but that looks like it's only loading an input portion of the device? I just compile audio device driver as module and let udev load it. |

I haven't recompiled any particular packages, but I suppose it could be worthwhile trying. ALSA is mostly in the kernel, right? So that would be upgraded as part of that.
Here's the kernel log when it works. The mtp-probe bit is missing, not sure what that means or if it's important.

| ok yeah, reinstalling alsa and/or pulseaudio probably will not help. from my experience nowadays, as long as you compile audio device drivers as modules, alsa and udev figure it out, and it "just works" |

| I made another attempt at upgrading to 4.14 today, now with 4.14.23, and with that version, audio appears to work fine, so I guess it was driver bug caused by a meltdown/spectre patch. |

Argh. I've been running 4.14.27 for a while. 4.14.34 broke audio again. Now I tried upgrading to 4.14.47, and still no audio.

Other than a minor re-ordering thing, I see no difference. |

| What patch in the later 4.14.x kernels broke audio for you? Has this been reported upstream so that it can be reverted? |

I wish I knew! I suppose I could work out which release it was with relative ease since I have known working and not working versions, but how would I take it from there?
While I'm familiar with using git bisect, the prospect of bisecting the largest software project in the world seems... daunting.
Any tips for me? |

Git bisect is the preferred solution here. Since you will be bisecting in the stable series, your experience should be relatively straightforward. Generally, stable series have no build-breaking patches in them, nor known backports of anything that causes serious stability problems. Bisecting -rc series kernels during the merge window can be somewhat more exciting. | Code: | $ git bisect start
$ git bisect good v4.14.27
$ git bisect bad v4.14.34
# Git now picks an intermediate commit for you to test.
# Build and test the commit it picked.
# If that commit has working audio, run: git bisect good
# If that commit has non-working audio, run: git bisect bad
# Git will now pick another intermediate commit.
# Build and test the commit it picked.
# Repeat until a specific commit is identified as bad. |
Then report the bad commit. Include in your report the commit ID of the bad commit (in stable), the commit ID upstream from which the bad stable commit was backported, a description of the hardware which fails in "bad" kernels, and the usual expected/actual results block. Since you will have generated one, including the git bisect log might be helpful, just to show your work. |

Edit: Argh, going back to the vanilla kernel 27, the device files don't appear there either, so probably I accidentally booted 27-gentoo when I checked initially. I'll have to go back to the drawing board. I suppose I'll start by checking that the config is correct.
I've finally gotten around to doing this. I've cloned git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git, I checked out both
v4.14.27 and v.4.14.34 and built those, confirming that I see the same behavior as with gentoo-sources, looking at /sys/class/sound/.
Then I've essentially iterated over this a number of times:
| Code: | sudo bash -c 'ls /sys/class/sound/' # Check if the expected number of devices show up.
cd projects/linux-stable/
git bisect bad
make && sudo bash -c 'mount /boot/; make install && grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg'
sudo reboot |
Unfortunately, this leads me to 76fbc152cd8c95369b0527b5d5cb1e166033ab84, which is a network related commit, and also happens to be the very first commit after the version bump to 4.14.27. Since the commit doesn't appear to be even remotely audio-related, I suspect I've done something wrong, thought I don't know what that would be. |

I am not a smart person...
Occams razor make its entrance:
After starting over, I realized that I had snd-usb-audio=m, and I hadn't installed the modules. |
