My video player replacement is almost completely up and running. One minor little hic-up, the sound refuses to work. I've went through the wiki (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ALSA), and am still getting nowhere slow. I've tried with the speakers connected to the audio port of the system, and to the monitor it's connected to via an HDMI cable.

Here is the lsmod
Code:

The onboard card is the Intel SST (Cherry Trail HDMI). I have all the options I could find as modules.

It does NOT show up with lspci or lsusb.

Here is the aplay -L
Code:
aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
pulse
    PulseAudio Sound Server
sysdefault:CARD=Audio
    Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio, Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audi
    Default Audio Device
hdmi:CARD=Audio,DEV=0
    Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio, Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audi
    HDMI Audio Output
hdmi:CARD=Audio,DEV=1
    Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio, Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audi
    HDMI Audio Output
hdmi:CARD=Audio,DEV=2
    Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio, Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audi
    HDMI Audio Output
usbstream:CARD=Audio
    Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio
    USB Stream Output

So it is being detected.
It shows up only as audio via cat /sys/class/sound/card*/id
Code:
cat /sys/class/sound/card*/id
Audio

And there are three entries for aplay --list-devices
Code:
aplay --list-devices
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Audio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio], device 0: HdmiLpeAudio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audi]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Audio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio], device 1: HdmiLpeAudio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audi]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Audio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio], device 2: HdmiLpeAudio [Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audi]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Alsa mixer shows a card, but doesn't let me do anything with it.
Code:
Card: Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio                                            F1:  Help               │
│ Chip:                                                                    F2:  System information │
│ View: F3: Playback  F4: Capture  F5: All                                 F6:  Select sound card  │
│ Item:                                                                    Esc: Exit               │

│                          This sound device does not have any controls.


I can select default or the card by name. Neither allows me to un-mute or do anything else.

Finally here is my asound.conf (This is where I'm unsure if I have the contents correct)
Code:
cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!spdif {
     type hw
     card 0
     device 1
}

pcm.!default {
     type plug
     slave {
           pcm "spdif"
     }
}


I am in the audio group, alsasound is in the boot level, and have installed the xfce4-alsa-plugin, alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, alsa-utils, and alsa-utils. The XFCE ALSA volume control allows me to select the card or default, but does not let me select channel, or any other controls.

Umm help.

Some more information.

Code:
sudo cat /var/log/dmesg | grep audio
[    2.948864] [drm] HDaudio controller not detected, using LPE audio instead
[    3.071076] input: Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio HDMI/DP,pcm=0 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/hdmi-lpe-audio/sound/card0/input8

[    3.071455] input: Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio HDMI/DP,pcm=2 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/hdmi-lpe-audio/sound/card0/input10


Code:
sudo head -1 /proc/asound/card?/codec*
head: cannot open '/proc/asound/card?/codec*' for reading: No such file or directory


Does this mean that there is a codec I am missing for the Cherry trail sound device? If so, what codec would it use?

ShadowHawkBV,

Edit your original post to add further information. Replying to yourself removes your topic from the unanswered post search.
That means it may be missed by potential helpers.

Please reboot,
post your
Code:
lspci -nnk
output.
Put your kernel .config file onto a pastebin site.
Put your dmesg onto a pasetbin site.

It looks like you are missing a codec but it way not be that simple.
You appear to have no analogue audio outputs, that looks a bit odd.

Booting a distro with good multimedia support may help to understand what's needed, if it works, that is.

ShadowHawkBV,

Heres a pointer to your sound cand issue.
dmesg:
[   11.198920] bytcht_es8316 bytcht_es8316: ASoC: CODEC DAI ES8316 HiFi not registered
[   11.198933] bytcht_es8316 bytcht_es8316: snd_soc_register_card failed -517


and while we are here, it looks like your WiFi doesn't work either.
dmesg:
[   13.247637] brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.Belmicro Computadores LTDA-T11.txt failed with error -2
[   13.247681] brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt failed with error -2
[   14.257927] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50


Your kernel says
Code:
CONFIG_SND_SOC_INTEL_BYT_CHT_ES8316_MACH=m
CONFIG_SND_SOC_ES8316=m

Does lsmod show either or both loaded?
They will be called bytcht_es8316 and es8316. If either are missing modprobe them and test sound again.

EDIT: Added locate information
Neddy,
I knew about the broadcom firmware failing, but since I run wired for this application, was going to deal with it later.

The module appears to be loaded in lsusb. (line 7 and used in line 31)
Code:
lsmod

There is no plain es8316 module. In /lib/modules/5.0.2-gento there is two that mention es8316.
Code:
ls -R /lib/modules/5.0.2-gentoo | grep 8316
snd-soc-es8316.ko
snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-es8316.ko

modprobe does not result in snd-soc-es8316 showing up on the primary side of a lsmod.
Code:
/usr/src/linux-5.0.2-gentoo $ sudo locate snd-soc-es8316.ko
/lib64/modules/4.20.13-gentoo/kernel/sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-es8316.ko

name@system:/usr/src/linux-5.0.2-gentoo $ sudo insmod /lib64/modules/5.0.2-gentoo/kernel/sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-es8316.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib64/modules/5.0.2-gentoo/kernel/sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-es8316.ko: File exists

Would seem to indicate that it is already loaded, but not appearing in this lsmod.

In /usr/src/linux there is three es8316, but none of them are modules.
Code:
/usr/src/linux $ ls -R sound | grep 8316
es8316.c
es8316.h
es8316.o
snd-soc-es8316.ko
snd-soc-es8316.mod.c
snd-soc-es8316.mod.o
snd-soc-es8316.o
bytcht_es8316.c
bytcht_es8316.o
snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-es8316.ko
snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-es8316.mod.c
snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-es8316.mod.o
snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-es8316.o


if it matters, the kernel is built with make oldconfig, make clean, make, make modules_install, and make install

ShadowHawkBV,

This is little more than guesswork. I wonder if you need one of the Intel PINCTRL options in the kernel?
Cherry Trail isn't mentioned by name but I wouldn't let that put me off.

Well that got me a step ahead. alsamixer now shows another option.
Code:

│                                   └──────────────────────────┘

bytcht-es8316 lets me unmute the Headphone and Headphone-mixer. Unfortunately it does nothing for putting sound through the headphone jack.

Something did click with the HDMI into the monitor. Using VLC, I can select Audio/Audio-Device// the pulse-audio option or the fourth of four Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio Output options to get sound from the monitor. The XFCE4 ALSA volume control does nothing, but I can set it between default, Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio and bytcht-es8316. The bytcht allows me to select channel Headphone or Headphone-mixer. The intel doesn't allow me to set a channel. Default has no channel options .

ShadowHawkBV,

HDMI sound outputs are digital. At most, you will get a mute switch.
Doing volume control on digital outputs is hard. You need to demultiplex the audio as it can be lots of channels, do lots of multiplies to change the volume of each channel, then multiplex it again.
This would all take time, so the audio/video sync would change. Its possible but not on PC sound cards.

As that sound card says HDMI in its name and it has no controls, its the sound output to the monitor.
There are usually several HDMI sound outputs. You need to use trial and error to discover the right one.

Sound card 0 is the default. That's 0 Intel HDMI/DP LPE Audio

Your heaphone/speakers and Mic input will be on the other sound card.
What does that show in alsamixer?

Trap for the unwary. Not all headsets are created equal. Some have 4 pole jacks, some have 3 pole jacks (and no mic) others have two 3 pole jacks, stereo out and stereo mic.
It matters. If you mix things, you get various degrees of not working.

As your headphones are not the default output, you need to use an application to direct output to the headphone. VLC will do nicely.

Neddy,
The only one that mentions headphones is the bytcht-es8316. It doesn't seem to pipe any sound through them. I've tried two different headphones, and a speaker with no results. I've even tried running sound and slowly, click-by-click, inserting and removing the jacks to see if I get sound, or even feedback. Nothing.

I guess it's time to investigate running the audio through the TV. Then I need to simplify the number of HDMI options down to only one so VLC can default to the proper one. Would that be done through asound.conf? If so, is the one I posted up-thread correct?

Jaglover,
I tried Mint and SystemRescueCD. Neither of them provided audio. Sorry for the delay in responding to your idea, I missed the post.

ShadowHawkBV,

I use /etc/asound.conf. Mine contains

Code:
pcm_slave.slave_rate48000Hz {
        pcm "hw:1,8"
#       This is the rate the sound card does.
#       Any random input rates are resampled to this.
        rate 48000
}
pcm.rate44100Hz {
        type plug
        slave slave_rate48000Hz
}

defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 8
defaults.ctl.card 1


Its easiest to explain it from the bottom up. Make the default output card 1 device 8 and control it with the control on card 1.
You probably don't need any of that. Well, you may need the defaults.pcm.device entry to get the right output

The rest of the file resamples everything to 48000Hz, which is required if you want to play CDs or CD rips.

You get the numbers from /proc/asound/devices. Mine contains
Code:
  2: [ 1- 3]: digital audio playback
  3: [ 1- 7]: digital audio playback
  4: [ 1- 8]: digital audio playback   <---
  5: [ 1- 9]: digital audio playback
  6: [ 1-10]: digital audio playback
  7: [ 1- 0]: hardware dependent
  8: [ 1]   : control
  9: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
 10: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
 11: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback
 12: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent
 13: [ 0]   : control
 33:        : timer

That's my card 1 device 8 highlighted, which happens to be the speakers in my display on the Display Port connection.

Neddy,
That's got it. That and a reinstall with pulseaudio USE flag,and VLC is working flawlessly. Now to modify the home theatre to accommodate it.

Thanks again for the nudges in the right direction.
