 Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2018 3:19 am Post subject: [SOLVED]Unable to get ALSA to play sound KDE Dual Codec |
 |
|
I've tried enabling all sorts of options in the kernel with repsect to drivers, modules, etc for codecs and sound cards.
This specific board uses dual ALC1220, if that makes a difference.
The mixer in KDE just shows:
IEC958 without any ability to make any changes or set anything.
alsamixer also only has the HDMI nvidia SPDIF output/Generic HD-Audio Generic (if i select this one it says "cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument" and crashes alsamixer back to the command line).
Specs:
Ryzen 7 1700
Gigabyte GA-X370-Gaming 5
Corsair DDR4 16GB 3000Mhz
nvme ssd
thank you in advance.

its always alot easier to compile sound cards as modules
| Code: |
<M> HD Audio PCI │ │
│ │ [ ] Build hwdep interface for HD-audio driver (NEW) │ │
│ │ [*] Allow dynamic codec reconfiguration │ │
│ │ [ ] Support digital beep via input layer (NEW) │ │
│ │ [ ] Support initialization patch loading for HD-audio │ │
│ │ <M> Build Realtek HD-audio codec support │ │
│ │ *** Set to Y if you want auto-loading the codec driver *** │ │
│ │ < > Build Analog Device HD-audio codec support (NEW) │ │
│ │ < > Build IDT/Sigmatel HD-audio codec support (NEW) │ │
│ │ < > Build VIA HD-audio codec support (NEW) │ │

Kernel version? If you're running the stable 4.9.x, you'll probably want something newer. IIRC, support for that codec appeared in 4.11.
Install linux-firmware too. |

Thank you for the replies.
I updated to 4.14.12 and Nvidia driver 390.25 and installed linux-firmware, but same result.
I also updated the sound config to be modules, but they don't seem to connect to the hardware.

So I went into a live CD of Fedora 27 and sound works perfectly, so I know at the very least that the codecs are good.
I poked around in the lsmod, etc and found that it has "snd" built as a module and that the snd_hda_intel modules appear in lspci -k which makes me think this is a kernel misconfiguration.
I'm not really sure how to proceed, though...
here is my kernel config:

it is referring to codecs loaded by kernel. that loads the quirks for your card. as far as kernel config. change this to this
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m |

Definitely made progress!!
I've got the items showing in alsamixer and KDE mixer, but the channel is still auto muted. Line out in the rear (the one i'd use) is not showing up. No sound comes out of any of the channels.
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf has no options enabled.

I plugged in a few, and Rear Speaker makes sound, but not Line out.
Alsamixer allows me to adjust this sound with "Surround" but KDE still shows it as muted in the menubar.
Line out is not an option in alsamixer, but i do see it in the KDE mixer, however setting it to anything does nothing.
If i select the "capture" button on the KDE mixer, it will play sound through line out, but the KDE menu still shows muted.
Perhaps I'm close? |

sound card limits should be at least 2. are you using pulseaudio? if so, see if it has control, run pavucontrol-qt
with the dual codec sound card and hdmi, im guessing u want it to be 3
i am unfamiliar with KDE maybe their mixer is an interface to pulseaudio already, I dont know, someone else may need to help at this point. |

options snd-hda-intel model=dual-codecs
|
I plugged in a few, and Rear Speaker makes sound, but not Line out.
Alsamixer allows me to adjust this sound with "Surround" but KDE still shows it as muted in the menubar.
Line out is not an option in alsamixer, but i do see it in the KDE mixer, however setting it to anything does nothing.
If i select the "capture" button on the KDE mixer, it will play sound through line out, but the KDE menu still shows muted.
Perhaps I'm close? |
sound card limits should be at least 2. are you using pulseaudio? if so, see if it has control, run pavucontrol-qt
with the dual codec sound card and hdmi, im guessing u want it to be 3
i am unfamiliar with KDE maybe their mixer is an interface to pulseaudio already, I dont know, someone else may need to help at this point. |
Thank you for all the help. I've gotten it mostly working it seems so I'm going to mark this as resolved.
For those who find this (or for me when I mess it up again and forget what I did)
CONFIG_SND_INTEL had be built as a module if all the codecs were also modules.
KDE system tray defaults to Nvidia card, just switch it to ALSA recommended config for it to use the right one.
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf needed the "options snd-hda-intel index=1" to work. dual-codecs/generic didn't do anything:
| Code: | # Set this to the correct number of cards.
#options snd cards_limit=2
options snd-hda-intel index=1
#options snd-hda-intel model=dual-codecs
options snd-hda-intel model=generic |
It should be noted this is sort of a workaround. Playback streams still does not work or allow you to change volumes. |

snd cards_limit default is 1, so commenting it out is going to cause problems with your setup. i would leave this and start trooubleshooting pulseaudio
| Code: |
options snd cards_limit=3
options snd-hda-intel index=1
options snd-hda-intel model=dual-codecs

Well you were were absolutely right, portage kept bugging me to update the config.
I don't have pulse installed and wasn't planning to do so until I get ALSA correct.
I've reset the settings to what you have. The current issue of it using "Front" as the main audio driver is that it sends imporper frequencies to the speakers, making the subwoofer, etc sound awful.
I guess I'll keep messing with it. Seems to think that the rear panel can be configured as a "capture" device, but it's not picking it up as a playback device |

Thanks for the info, i'll check it out.
I guess that LFE when referring to a subwoofer is a mixer for a separately plugged woofer in a different jack, for 5.1/7.1 setups, not 2.1 which explains why that audio doesn't do anything.
I'm not sure why the line out mixer doesn't do anything and i'll mess with it, but for the most part the front, which is what i have (two speakers and a sub out of a single line out 3.5mm jack) is working adequately.
I'll note that the lack of per-application controls is not functioning because that's a pulse audio feature, something that KDE supports, but i don't have installed.
Thanks again.  |

This worked for me after much troubleshooting:
| Code: |
options snd cards_limit=1
options snd-hda-intel model=dual-codecs
options snd-hda-intel index=1
