Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2024 1:39 pm Post subject: [RESOLVED] Gnome shows 0 input/output audio devices

Hi Everyone,

I am pretty happy with my Micros**t Surface Pro 3 Gentoo build.

Does everything I needed the system to do minus audio.

I am using Gnome 40, and for example, if I go to YouTube and try to play a video there isn't any sound.

Makes sense, considering in the Gnome settings it claims there isn't any audio input/output devices.

I am slightly overwhelmed with the amount of possibilities and combinations for the multi-layer sound system for Linux.

As a starting point, here are the drivers:

Code:

# Output from `lspci -v`

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series HD Audio Controller (rev 04)
Subsystem: Microsoft Corporation 8 Series HD Audio Controller
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 60
Memory at c0610000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel

Where do I go from here? I have very basic audio needs.[/list]

Start at the bottom and work your way up. Does ALSA know the audio device exists (aplay -l)? If you use an ALSA command line tool to play a sound, do you hear that sound come from your speaker (speaker-test)? Once ALSA works, move upward. If you use Pipewire or Pulseaudio, tell us which one, and check that playing a sound using that tool works. Once that works, investigate why GNOME reports no devices. Fix that.

nulltheliteralnothing,

There are two different sound stacks in the kernel. The usual one and the Sound Open Firmware stack becoming more popular in notebooks and portable devices.

What does

Code:

lspci -nnk

say about

Code:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series HD Audio Controller (rev 04)

You will get the Vendor and Device ID now, which is what we want.

I realized I built the system without the use flag “alsa”. I will add it and rebuild @world. UPDATE: I was only missing the alsa-utils. Nothing was rebuilt adding the alsa USE flag.

nulltheliteralnothing,

Code:

8086:0a0c

does not need the Sound Open Firmware stack, so you are probably good.

Code:

Playback device is default

thats card 0 Device 0, or one of your HDMI outputs.
That's probably not what you want.

Your analogue sound output is card 1 device 0.
Point speaker-test to that.

You will need to run

Code:

alsamixer -c1

to umute Master, Front and PCM, then set the sliders to 70% before you get any output too.

I ran the line `alsamixer -c1` and increased both the master and speaker volumes to 75%, and changed the default device to the non-HDMI entry. I then proceeded to execute `speaker-test`, which resulted in the same missing file or directory error.

I also observed that pipewire was installed; however, I didn’t see a systemd service script. I added systemd to package.use but of course since I am on the systemd/gnome profile the change didn’t impact the compile of the pipewire service.

I wonder what happened?

That to me looks like a problem in the ebuild. But it might be secondary to the real issue.

Did you follow the pipewire wiki? Pipewire service is user service. You should start it by running the following command with the user you're using Gnome with:

Code:

systemctl start --user pipewire

Also you need to add your user to the appropriate group.

Better consult with the wiki.

Georgi

What about PCM and the Mute switches?

The OO at the bottom of the slider means Open. The MM, shown in the next column, (no slider) means Muted.
The switches overide the sliders.

That to me looks like a problem in the ebuild. But it might be secondary to the real issue.

Embedding the PORTAGE_TMPDIR path is unfortunate, but harmless. Fixing it would require that upstream pass relative paths to the compiler.

However, the latter part of the line you quoted is important. unable to open slave means that the device is unavailable, and cannot be opened by this sound producer, so this program cannot produce sound from this device. The part you did not quote asserts that the device does not exist. That then leads to the question of whether OP is trying to access a device that is not supposed to exist, or is trying to access the right device and the device wrongly does not exist.

UPDATES:

Code:

shinobi@thezengarden ~ $ systemctl status --user pipewire
● pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; enabled; preset: e>
Active: active (running) since Sat 2024-03-16 16:23:08 EDT; 10min ago
TriggeredBy: ● pipewire.socket

└─1140 /usr/bin/pipewire

Mar 16 16:23:08 thezengarden systemd[1131]: Started PipeWire Multimedia Service.

For clarity, PipeWire was pulled in from the gnone profile. Understanding the service was in the user space allowed me to check if the status is active. However, I did go to the PipeWire Gentoo Wiki page for debugging. I updated the user group etc. The challenge is the configuration steps didn't work.

Code:

shinobi@thezengarden ~ $ cp /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf
cp: cannot create regular file '/home/shinobi/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf': No such file or directory

I will debug when I have a moment. I have a new born baby. Zaps my time (in a good way)

In terms of the speaker-test, I am yet to understand the reference for devices.

Code:

shinobi@thezengarden ~ $ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC288 Analog [ALC288 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

So, I assumed:

Code:

shinobi@thezengarden ~ $ speaker-test -Dplug:"card 1"

speaker-test 1.2.10

Playback device is plug:card 1
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.10-r2/work/alsa-lib-1.2.10/src/pcm/pcm.c:2675:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM card 1
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
shinobi@thezengarden ~ $ speaker-test -D"card 1"

speaker-test 1.2.10

Playback device is card 1
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.10-r2/work/alsa-lib-1.2.10/src/pcm/pcm.c:2675:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM card 1
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
shinobi@thezengarden ~ $ speaker-test -Dplug:PCH

speaker-test 1.2.10

Playback device is plug:PCH
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.10-r2/work/alsa-lib-1.2.10/src/pcm/pcm.c:2675:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM PCH
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory

Would work. So, I need to understand more about speaker-test.

I believe at this point you should share your emerge --info as well as the full output of lspci -nnk as well as your config if you use a custom kernel or tell us which distribution kernel you're using. Best Regards, Georgi

Post the output of aplay -L, note the capital L.

If you have some time you can see the example in man speaker-test.

For example, my relevant output was:

Code:

front:CARD=Generic,DEV=0
HD-Audio Generic, ALC287 Analog
Front output / input

and the relevant command was:

Code:

speaker-test -Dplug:front:Generic

adding -c2 tested the other channel.

So your test command should be:

Code:

speaker-test -Dplug:front:PCH

Just like the example in the man page I think.

But I see:

Code:

pulse
PulseAudio Sound Server

Which may be the culprit.

Give me the output of:

Code:

equery list media-sound/*
equery list media-video/*

Also if there's something related to pulseaudio there, I want to see what emerge -pv has to say about it. Especially if it is pulseaudio-daemon. In such case I want you to check if you have a systemd unit for it too and if it's running.

Best Regards,
Georgi

OK, we're getting beyond my knowledge here, but I think pulesaudio-daemon might be running and preventing pipewire from opening the device. And I'm pretty sure it's like that because of:

Code:

pulse
PulseAudio Sound Server

At least it's not a driver related issue, you have a functioning audio hardware.

Find out what pulls in pulseaudio-daemon and get rid of it, it should fix your pipewire issue. I think you just need to emerge --oneshot pulseaudio, which is not the real pulseaudio but libpulse which allows pulseaudio clients to get routed through pipewire, and then emerge -ca pulseaudio-daemon, this should work.

You can inspect what pulled in pulseaudio-daemon by

Code:

emerge -pvc pulseaudio-daemon

If you find it difficult to figure out what's going on, paste the output here, maybe along with the output of emerge -pv pipewire.

Also, after struggling to find PA to pipewire migration advice I recalled it was a message in the ebuild, so I dug it out for you:

Quote:

>=pipewire-0.3.66 uses the 'pipewire' group to manage permissions
and limits needed to function smoothly:

1. Please make sure your user is in the 'pipewire' group for
the best experience with realtime scheduling (PAM limits behavior)!
You can add your account with:
usermod -aG pipewire <youruser>

2. For the best experience with fast user switching, it is recommended
that you remove your user from the 'audio' group unless you rely on the
audio group for device access control or ACLs.:
usermod -rG audio <youruser>

When switching from PulseAudio, you may need to disable PulseAudio:

systemctl --user disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

To use PipeWire, the user units must be manually enabled
by running this command as each user you use for desktop activities:

systemctl --user enable pipewire.socket pipewire-pulse.socket

A reboot is recommended to avoid interferences from still running
PulseAudio daemon.

Both new users and those upgrading need to enable WirePlumber
for relevant users:

systemctl --user disable pipewire-media-session.service
systemctl --user --force enable wireplumber.service

Root user may replace --user with --global to change system default
configuration for all of the above commands.

Best Regards,
Georgi

I'm confused. I don't have pulseaudio-daemon, in the same time it's required by libpulse, which I have.

I checked the ebuild and RDEPEND confuses me even more:

Code:

!<media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon-16.99.1

So I think that libpulse linked against pulseaudio-daemon just because it was installed.

Naturally I would get rid of it, but I don't know how, without using destructive commands I myself would run but hesitate writing them in a public support forum.

I'm also puzzled by:

Code:

thezengarden /home/shinobi # systemctl --user enable pipewire.socket piepwire-pulse.socket
Failed to connect to bus: Operation not permitted

Also you shouldn't have run the --global equivalent.

Did you actually run the --user commands as root?

This is clearly for Portage & Programming where more eyes will see it and help.

Georgi

That doesn't mean you should do it. It says system defaults can be changed that way. You don't need to do that. Anyways, I'm trying to figure out why the errors occurred.

So you run the commands with --user as root or you didn't?

Well it's kind of funny. If you run them as root, the --user commands should have set the defaults for root. That's what --user param to systemctl does - changes for the particular user. However after running the --global, you set the defaults for all users, making the --user command for root redundant.

Anyways, I'm trying to find out if that was the reason they failed. You still haven't answered the question, were you logged in as root when you run those:
