3.8.0-18 Kernel causes HDMI Audio to stop working

[Emily Loebl]

Was using Raring 13.04 with kernel 3.8.0-17 with NVIDIA HDMI Audio via the NVIDIA 319.12 drivers. When upgrading to 3.8.0-18, HDMI is no longer listed within Sound Settings or pavucontrol (only item listed with Dummy.) Switched over to the ubuntu nividia-current driver, same problem. Rolled back to 3.8.0-17 and HDMI audio again works correctly. What files should I attach to assist with this? I can roll back/fourth between the two to get anything required.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.9 kernel[0]. You will need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[Tim Richardson (tim-richardson)]

I confirmed this report since I seem to have the same problem caused by the same kernel upgrade, although my sound hardware is integrated Intel, not nvidia

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2136303

[Emily Loebl (mloebl)]

Confirmed 3.9 resolves problem, tag added. I was unable to test with the new NVIDIA 319.12 driver, but reverted to nvidia-current and it worked fine.

[Tim Richardson (tim-richardson)]

rolling back to 3.8.0-17 worked for me which confirms which kernel update introduced the problem.

[Hari Kotcherlakota (harik-email)]

I was hoping that 3.8.0-19 would fix this problem, It did not. Rolling back to 3.8.0.17 did fix the problem.
My sound card is HDA Intel PCH. Chip Intel CougarPoint HDMI.

How do I upgrade to 3.9?

[Hari Kotcherlakota (harik-email)]

I should have read more. I know how to try 3.9 but when is likely to make it xubuntu 13.04?

[Øyvind Stegard (oyvindstegard)]

I had to blacklist kernel module 'snd-hda-codec-hdmi' due to kernel BUG on boot somewhere in this module's code. Happened on two very different computers, both using nvidia proprietary driver (310- or 313-series). Started after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04, first kernel used was 3.8.0-18 (now on 3.8.0-19). Booting fails miserably if the bug triggers.

[Øyvind Stegard (oyvindstegard)]

[Balint Deak (dbalint)]

I have the same bug. I can confirm that the 3.9 RC 7 kernel downloaded from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-rc7-raring/ does fix the bug. Using this kernel now and HDMI audio works as before.

Thanks for the tip, Joseph!

[Gacrux (ewen-cumming)]

This also affects me with the radeon driver.

Introduced in 3.8.0-18 and still present in 3.8.0-19.

[Thomas Novin (thomasn80)]

This kernel also fixes the problem:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.8-raring/

Better than 3.9 because it won't break applications that is missing support for 3.9, for example VirtualBox.

[Emily Loebl (mloebl)]

Thanks for the tip on 3.8.8, I'll have to try that tonight. I was unable to install the latest NVidia drivers on 3.9.

[Hari Kotcherlakota (harik-email)]

Thanks ThomasNovin.

There was an error about linuxheader 3.8.8-030808

Hope I did the right thing. I should also thank Mike Loebl. When is 3.9 going to make it to Ubuntu?

[Emily Loebl (mloebl)]

Upgraded to 3.8.8 and HDMI audio is working fine.

If using the NVIDIA downloaded drivers with Raring and the 3.8.8 kernel, you may need to:
export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1
or else it may complain of a GCC mismatch.

[Shiba (shiba89)]

Dumping what I know, hoping it will help.
Additions were made to sound/pci/hda/patch_hdmi.c in 3.8.0-18, and removing them solves the problem. As I can see, they are based on 3.9-rc*, but it seems that upstream some other additions were made.
I added a patch to better illustrate what's causing the problem, it's not meant to be a solution.

[Shiba (shiba89)]

PS: it's a reverse patch (3.8.0-18 → 3.8.0-17), I forgot to mention.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

The upstream v3.8.8 updates have been applied to the 3.8.0-19 Ubuntu kernel. Can you upgrade to this latest kernel and report back if it fixes this bug? If it does, please change the bug to 'Fix Released'.

[Hari Kotcherlakota (harik-email)]

Now that I updated to 3.8.8-030808, is there a good reason to roll back to 3.8.0-19?

If so, how do I get an update? Link please.

[Shiba (shiba89)]

Not solved for me.

[Emily Loebl (mloebl)]

 3.8.0-19 is not working for me either unless there is another update that hasn't come down yet or another download is required.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

As well the NVIDIA and Intel ASICs described above, this is also happening on ATI/AMD Radeon hardware - see bug #897008 from comment #33 onwards. The Ubuntu mainline kernel builds 3.8.0, 3.8.1, 3.8.2, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8 all work fine for HDMI audio, as does Ubuntu 3.8.0-17-generic. Ubuntu 3.8.0-18 or Ubuntu 3.8.0-19 do not have working HDMI audio.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

Could someone please attach the output of "pacmd ls" and an alsa-info according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo ?

[GizmoChicken (gizmochicken)]

I've also been having the same problem (no HDMI audio) with a Radeon HD 6670 beginning with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-18 kernel. I can confirm that HDMI audio DOES work in Ubuntu 13.04 with my Radeon HD 6670 in combination with the following mainline kernels: 3.8.0, 3.8.1, 3.8.2, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8.

Interesting to note that HDMI audio works with mainline 3.8.6 and mainline 3.8.8, but not with Ubuntu 3.8.0-18 or Ubuntu 3.8.0-19, which are based on mainline 3.8.6 and mainline 3.8.8, respectively. See http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html

I'll also add that, at least for me, lots of other problems (including inability to mirror monitors) are present with 3.8.1, 3.8.2, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1167301 But most everything seems to be working well with mainline 3.8.0 and Ubuntu 3.8.0-7. So for me, mainline 3.8.0 and Ubuntu 3.8.0-7 are my only current options.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

Unless I am mistaken this is caused by one of the SAUCE patches or config changes listed at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/linux/3.8.0-18.28

[Spencer Janssen (spencerjanssen)]

'alsa-info' and 'pacmd ls' output attached. I've included both 3.8.0-19 (where HDMI sound outputs are not working) and 3.9.0-rc8 (where HDMI sound is working).

[Emily Loebl (mloebl)]

Attached my output as well with 3.8.0-19

[Giannis (karzisss)]

Xubuntu 13.04 with 3.8.0.19 kernel - NO HDMI output (pulseaudio does not even recognize any HDMI output)
Xubuntu 13.04 with 3.5.0.27 kernel (from 12.10) - HDMI output OK!

[molecule-eye (niburu1)]

I lost HDMI upgrading to 13.04, running kernel 3.8.0-19-generic and Catalyst 13.4 stable. But aplay -l does return the following:

So why doesn't pulseaudio give me access to card 0? Is aplay just reading an old file which listed HDMI among audio sources, though it is no longer *really* available? Actually, HDMI is listed in alsamixer too, as card 0.

I have the same problem, cannot get ATI HDMI [Cedar] to display as an option in sound settings. I don't have audio cables or I'd test the analog card on the computer, but I'd rather be using digital output to my amp anyhow. before upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 it would go missing after the display went to sleep or the amplifier was turned off for an extended period of time..

Finally it is working with no need to nstall a new Kernal, what you need to do is simply download and install the lates version of this audio Package: oem-audio-hda

1- Download & Install this Package: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily/+packages, then Reboot
2- Go to "Sound Settings", you should now see your hdmi device listed, select it and your done.

Thats about it, Enjoy your day (:
