Intel HDA sound broken on kernel 2.6.22-10.30

[Jose Bernardo]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-10-386

Sound got broken for me with the upgrade from kernel 2.6.22-9 to 2.6.22-10.30. Previously, the only problem I had was the microphone not working. I started describing this in bug #116326, but since my realtek has a different ID and worked until this update, I think it is probably a new bug.

I forgot to add, my laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi1505. I had good sound both on feisty and gutsy until today, with this kernel update.

[Jose Bernardo (bernardo-bandos)]

This is the codec for the hda-intel sound card

[Jose Bernardo (bernardo-bandos)]

This is the codec for the internal modem (I think).

[Frank (frank-schaeffer)]

Same here on Thinkpad Z61m except that here the sound is very quietly or rather inaudibly. The sound card is identified and configured just as well reported by Jose above.

Sorry, just forgot to mention. I'am on Kubuntu Gutsy 64bit. The problem exist for all mediaplayers I've installed (e. g. amarok, xine, kaffeine, noatun....)

This kernel breaks my (already a bit broken) sound, too. I have an Inspiron 1420 (to get sound working previously, had to add "options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base).

lspci-vv attached, more to follow.

[BronsCon (keith-bronstrup)]

Make sure linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-[your arch here] is installed and you are booting the correct kernel.

For some reason, for 2.6.22-20, both generic and 386 kernels were installed, while only the generic kernel's modules were installed and the 386 kernel was made default in GRUB.

My solution was to install the modules for 2.6.22-10-386 and, when that worked (and I realized the generic ran better on my system), I removed the 386 kernel and modules, which never should have made their way on to my system to begin with, and went back to the generic kernel.

Everything works over here now that I have the proper kernel and modules installed.

Hope this helps someone else -- and closes this bug.

[BronsCon (keith-bronstrup)]

I changed the name and binary package hint to reflect the source of the issue.

linux-image-2.6.22-10-386 was a dependency of linux-image-generic. This appears to have been resolved already.

If you are running linux-image-2.6.22-10-386 and should not be, remove this kernel and use a more appropriate one (perhaps linux-image-generic will now choose the correct kernel for you?) and this should fix the problem.

[flowbot (flowbot)]

This wasn't the problem for me - 386 kernel didn't get installed, just the generic. I've updated synaptic, but nothing new in there. Still, I've got no sound.

[BronsCon (keith-bronstrup)]

flow,

Is linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic installed?

Double check this and, if it's not installed, correct this and reboot. All should work.

If this doesn't help, let me know so I can undo the edits I made to this bug.

[flowbot (flowbot)]

Hi Brons,

linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic is installed. Alsamixer tells me my chip is SigmaTel ID 7616, but I remember it being something different when all worked.

[Jose Bernardo (bernardo-bandos)]

@BronsCon, Please revert you edits - I also only have generic kernel and modules installed.

[BronsCon (keith-bronstrup)]

I reverted the edits I made.

Do you still have an older kernel available? (press ESC when prompted to access the GRUB menu)

if so, can you boot into that kernel? If everything works, can you report what Alsamixer identifies your sound chip as, provide a lspci, lsmod and possibly a dmesg listing? Then, boot back into 2.6.22-10 and provide the same?

I dont know if, perhaps, someobody more knowledgeable is watching, maybe this will allow them to help? If not, I'll be unavailable until after 3MP EST but will do my best (which, admittedly, I have not done thus far) to get this bug resolved.

[lithorus (lithorus)]

Sound breaks for me too.
I get sound through the speakers of the laptop, but none through the headphone jack when plugged in.

[BronsCon (keith-bronstrup)]

Don't know why I didn't hink of this before. Those who aren't getting sound from their speakers, try headphones.

If your chip is being identified, it should be working at least somewhat.

Sound chips fillowing the Intel HDA spec will have at least 2 pairs of 2 channels (left and right) with independent volume controls. On most laptops, one will be the speakers and the other will be headphones. These will have separate controls in the mixer; make sure the mixer marked Speaker is turned up and unmuted (or if it is, make sure the one marked Headphone is turned up, perhaps they are mislabeled, which would be another bug altogether, but still mention it here).

I know, before the new kernel, my sound system would route to speakers until I plugged in headphones, then it would shut off the speakers. I believe this can be configured; I'll look into it when I return at about 15:00 EST. Now, they are controlled seperately and the Headphone channel was beign used as the Master. This can be changed in your mixer.

[Jose Bernardo (bernardo-bandos)]

I'm right now on kernel 2.6.22-9, and in fact the sound on the speakers is disabled when I plug in my headphones. I never thought of trying if the headphones worked on 2.6.22-10, will try after a reboot. Here is the info for 2.6.22-9, working sound on headphones and speakers:

First big change - the modem was detected on 2.6.22-9, isn't detected on 2.6.22-10
Second change - the sound card here shows as ALC861, on 2.6.22-10 shows as hda-generic

[exactt (giesbert)]

i also have the "no sound" problem with a Realtek 883 on Intel HDA.

Neither the speakers nor the headphones work. just silence...

Where can I get the update?

[Kishore (kitts)]

With the latest update of LUM, sounds has been restored.

[Ryan (rpm)]

I know this is a stupid question, but will the update make to me via apt? Or do I need to download and install it using dpkg?

ignore my last comment, i installed linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic and now the snd-hda-intel driver is avaialble.

thank you.

On my Lenovo 3000 N100 I have sound but headphone switching using linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic-2.6.22-10.24 still.

[Matthijs De Smedt (matthijs--)]

I have an Asus A6 laptop with:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

Sound from the speakers works, and the speakers mute when headphones is plugged in. But there's no sound coming through the headphones. Tried every possible model in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and even installing alsa-source. None of these changed anything. Sound still works, except for the headphone jack.

[lithorus (lithorus)]

Which version of the linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic do you have
installed? This sounds excactly like the bug I had when I didn't have the
updated version of linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic.

2.6.22-10.23 had the problem and was fixed in 2.6.22-10.24

Ah, indeed. I do still have linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic 2.6.22-10.23. Could you please tell me how to upgrade? apt-get update && apt-get upgrade obviously doesn't do the trick.

[Matthijs De Smedt (matthijs--)]

Well I got a deb from here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/2.6.22-10.24

And I have headphone sound now. It's really glitchy though. I need to set 'line-in' to exactly 52 (0.00 dB gain) to get sound. Somehow this also increases the volume on my laptop speakers to unreasonable levels.

[lithorus (lithorus)]

<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/2.6.22-10.24>
2.6.22-10.25 is the latest.

Btw. I would recommend using a GUI when upgrading Gutsy. apt-get update etc.
is simply not good to resolve package breakage.

Make sure that you have linux-generic installed which depends on the latest
linux-ubuntu-modules. Something you can see in a GUI package manager
frontend (eg. aptitude).

Synaptic shows the same thing. I have:
linux-generic 2.6.22.10.11
linux-image-2.6.22-20-generic 2.6.22.10.30
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic 2.6.22-10.23 (now manually upgraded to .24)

According to syntaptic and aptitude, these are the latest versions. I have everything checked in software sources except commercial and backports. This setup was done from a Tribe 5 CD. Is everybody else getting newer packages from the gutsy tree?

[Matthijs De Smedt (matthijs--)]

Ah. Obviously completely unrelated to this bug. nl.archive.ubuntu.com is far from up to date. When the 170mb of updates are finished I'll check if hda-intel is also working properly on my asus laptop. Thanks for your patience.

[Anish Bhatt (anish7)]

I have an HP dv6500-t with a realtek 268 card. And none of that is working for me ! Optimistically updating everyday, hope something works out !

gutsy 64-bit, lum 2.6.22-10.25 and alsa-driver-1.0.15rc1

[ntt (ntt)]

almost exactly the same here: HP DV6560EL running Gutsy5 AMD64 (plus
updates).

I fear we've got no chances of audio working out of the box, unless the
Ubuntu kernel modules maintainers do bite the bullet and start using
ALSA-HG (the ALSA "current", developer version) instead of the latest
ALSA release.

Or else, we'll probably have to wait until the next Ubuntu release,
April '08. or pray very hard about backporting.

but... wait a minute... where have you got that ALSA 1.05rc1 driver???

did you recompile the kernel modules, or is just the latest update
(which my usual mirror hasn't received yet)?

[ntt (ntt)]

in the meantime I've checked out the changelog of ALSA 1.0.5-rc1: it
seems it _should_ have some support for the Realtek ALC268 chip (and,
more important, for some variations of it - like ACER and Toshiba)

still, you reported it didn't work for you... I'm wondering whether the
  ALC268 HP uses in its notebooks has some differences from the generic
Realtek chip...

well, at least something is now moving. cross fingers!

I think I have the same problem, sound was working under Feisty after DSDT correction (I'm on a Toshiba P100-477), but now under Gutsy, I have no more sound... hope it gets fixed before gutsy release!

[Rocco (rocco)]

I have the same problem on a Dell Vostro 1700. I have compiled and installed alsa-driver 1.0.15rc1 from source. Then the sound works OK.

How should I achieve this? Do I have to first uninstall alsa-driver 1.0.14 via apt? And what packages should I install? Only alsa-driver? Thanks in advance.

It is the command used to build the package. It executes the script "rules"
which helps generate the .deb package.

[Markus Vuori (lite-deactivatedaccount)]

After upgrading to gutsy (in september) the snd-hda-driver started to misbehave.

Now I have on up-to-date gutsy on Lenovo T60 and I have to always modprobe (and modprobe -r) the driver at least twice before it works. And the first modprobe takes more than 10 seconds. After a couple of load/unload cycles the sound works.

I guess this bug is most similar to what i am experiencing. I have an HP dv6500t and gutsy installed. No sound.

[Anish Bhatt (anish7)]

Downloading and recompiling ALSA from source solves the problem. Just move the original snd-hda-intel module from /lib/modules/<kernel>/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel to somewhere else to avoid a conflict. Get alsa-driver, alsa-lib and alsa-utils.

[ntt (ntt)]

Confirmed, with your audio chip (same I have on my HP DV6560-EL) you need ALSA v1.0.15 or newer.

I found this Ubuntu page to be useful in installing the new ALSA driver by hand:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

It will take you just 5 minutes to compile and install the new ALSA driver, and rest assured your sound chip _will_ work afterwards, as mine does now.

give it a try.
