Intel Jasper Lake HD Audio device doesn't work

[Chidakasha]

Hi everyone

I few days ago I bought this mini computer.

So far I've been unable to get the sound to work.

inxi -A returns this :

Code: Select all

Audio:
  Device-1: Intel Jasper Lake HD Audio driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-icl
  Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.15.80-gentoo-x86_64 running: yes

As you see, I had to install sys-firmware/sof-firmware

The card apparently gets recognized. the command aplay -l returns this (sorry for the output in french) :

Code: Select all

carte 0 : sofhdadsp [sof-hda-dsp], périphérique 1 : HDMI1 (*) []
  Sous-périphériques : 1/1
  Sous-périphérique #0 : subdevice #0
carte 0 : sofhdadsp [sof-hda-dsp], périphérique 2 : HDMI2 (*) []
  Sous-périphériques : 1/1
  Sous-périphérique #0 : subdevice #0
carte 0 : sofhdadsp [sof-hda-dsp], périphérique 3 : HDMI3 (*) []
  Sous-périphériques : 1/1
  Sous-périphérique #0 : subdevice #0

I'm currently using kernel 5.15.80 and in the boot journal I can see this :

I get this warning about the topology ABI being more recent than the kernel ABI but I'm not sure if that's really a problem or not.


I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me. Thank you in advance if you take the time.

v5.15.80 is somewhat old. There are several newer releases in the v5.15.x series, and there are several newer major series, too. When very new hardware does not work, testing a new kernel should be an early troubleshooting step, because support may have been improved in more recent releases. Does this card work better if you use Linux kernel v6.1.x or newer? As of this writing, v6.1.1 is out.

Chidakasha,

Sound drivers are in two pieces.

The PCI part that shows up in lspci and the CODEC part that in not detectable without correct kernel support.
When you have the second part, there is no need to detect it.

Make friends with wgetpaste.
Use it to share the output of dmesg ... all of it.
Your kernel .config file.

There are two sets of CODECS in the kernel. You need the -SOF- codecs.
You probably need two. The HDMI for digital sound out and another one (which we can't guess) for analogue.

There in another wrinkle.
All the parts of the sound driver must be available when the kernel initialises the code. Make all the parts loadable modules.
That avoids the requirement to build SOF firmware into the kernel.

Hi guys thanks for taking the time to answer me.

Alright, I now have a fully updated ~amd64 system with gentoo-sources 6.1.1 compiled with "genkernel all"


Here's my dmesg output : https://pastebin.com/d5pBeHyN


The strange thing is that it looks like it working even less than before now. The card doesn't seem to be detected at all now. Here's what I get when I try to run alsamixer with this newer Kernel :

Thanks in advance

Chidakasha,

Its not working differently now.

The PCIe driver and firmware come together and dmesg says

Code: Select all

[    5.616133] sof-audio-pci-intel-icl 0000:00:1f.3: hda codecs found, mask 4

but there is no sign of the codec drivers.

Code: Select all

Linux version 6.1.1-gentoo-x86_64

is encouraging though.

Please share your kernel .config file. Its also at /proc/config.gz but you need to decompress it before you wgetpaste it.

[Chidakasha]

Here it is : https://pastebin.com/5uJNPr4W

I didn't configure the kernel myself. I used "genkernel all" instead as I already mentioned.

Thanks again for your help.

Chidakasha,

Sound support for Jasper Lake appears to have been added to the kernel on 01-Dec-22. It won't have been back ported to any LTS kernel as its i new feature, not a security or bug fix.
You really need the Gentoo testing kernel.

Genkernel closes its eyes, drops a preset config file into your kernel, crosses its fingers and hopes for the best.
Sometimes, it needs a little help.

The kernel looks good. The old dmesg mentioned HDMI ... the new one does not, so in that respect its a step back.
However, it looks like the kernel is OK ... including, the HDMI support but its not in dmesg.

What do you have in

Code: Select all

lsmod

Everything is modular in your kernel, so I'm wondering if a module that you need is not loaded.
