no sound -- no codecs initialized

On my new Gentoo system I can not get sound working. I think the issue is indicated in dmesg:

jagdpanther,

Are your codecs listed in lsmod?

What does

jagdpanther,

You either have very new hardware or a very old lspci as most of the names are missing, so I have had to do some searching.

You have a system that needs

NeddySeagoon: Thank you. I am about to go make some changes in /usr/src/linux: make menuconfig

Yes this is very new hardware. I assume not an old lspci (sys-apps/pciutils-3.7.0-r2) (I run "emerge --sync && emerge --update --deep --newuse --with-bdeps=y @world" at least once a week. (I seem to be having many more issues than normal when I build a Gentoo system, probably because this time I am using very new hardware.)

This is not a laptop it is an ATX desktop I built. The motherboard is a:

I chose this MB because of a few articles like the following which use Linux on that MB:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=alderlake-p-e&num=1

In menuconfig I'll add SMBUS. I don't think I need any of the LPSS items or the PINCTRL as I'm not using a laptop.

If I still have sound issues, I'll try your Ubuntu Live CD suggestion.
(Searching on-line I did find some linux user issues when using a codec ALC4080. I did not see a specific fix though.)

Maybe you will need additionally this command line parameter ?

Unfortunately still no sound and alsamixer does not see the MB sound device.

Thanks for the tip. I tried adding it to the grub linux boot line and it, unfortunately did not work.

jagdpanther,

As its Alder Lake, you have the chipset, the power control is aimed an laptop users but its in your chipset regardless.

Some parts may never power up without those options.
Maybe your on board codecs?

I don't know that your codec will be affected. With other chipsets, the SATA ports don't power up.
That's a problem for users with root on SATA :)

pietinger and NeddySeagoon

I added all of the LPSS and PINCTRL items suggested by NeddySeagoon as modules and rebooted. I can see the modules:

jagdpanther,

We are doing it wrong. Spending money is doing it wrong too.

Your kernel needs SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_TGL for your

No snd_hda_codec_realtek ?? That alc is a realtek chipset

jagdpanther,

SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_TGL is a whole nest of vipers,

You will want the 'z' toggle in menuconfig to find it.
It appears to have its own codec support too.

sys-firmware/sof-firmware is not included is linux-firmware.
I'm fairly sure you will need it though as one of the knobs you will enable is called

I'm trying to troubleshoot the same no z690 motherboard audio issue on Ubuntu 22.04 (but on latest stable kernel: 5.17.6).

Been discussing it here https://forum.level1techs.com/t/no-z690-chipset-linux-drivers-really/

Just realized that lspci identifies what I suspect is the HD audio device as 7AC0, but Intel lists the HD audio device as 7AD0 here

https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/ipla/software-development-platforms/client/platforms/alder-lake-desktop/intel-600-series-chipset-family-platform-controller-hub-pch-datasheet-volume/004/device-and-revision-id/

My theory is that because the ID's don't match, the snd_hda_intel audo driver isn't getting bound to the device.

Could this just be a typo in either the the Intel documentation or the Intel series 600 platform driver?

Thanks for the post. I am still having the same issue but was running short of things to try.

(I tried booting a usb image of ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso just this morning and no audio.)

The interesting thing is using the "default" setting from alsamixer I do have analog out (at least the main channel) but I can't tell what it connecting to and there is no "Card 0" in alsamixer. But what I really want is to get the SPDIF optical port working.
