[Vivid] kernel 3.19.0-17 fails to find HDMI sound output

[AntAgna]

After upgrading to 15.04, HDMI is not listed in the audio playback devices. Audio works normally if I select an older kernel version.

Kernel versions that cause problem : 3.19.0-17 and 3.19.0-18
Kernel version not causing the problem : 3.16.0-38

Here is the output when listing audio playback devices on 3.19.0-18

I have tested 3.19.0-15 and 3.19.0-16 and they do not exhibit the problem (I get the same output from aplay -l as above).

So I can confirm that the problem started with 3.19.0-17 and is still present in 3.19.0-18.

Thank you for pointing out that my BIOS was outdated.

The device I have is the MSI ProBox23, which is based on a similar board to the H81T1 :
http://www.msi.com/product/desktop/ProBox23.html

The H81T1 and ProBox23 have different BIOS versions (the BIOS upgrade refused the BIOS version for the H81T1).
I upgraded the BIOS from here instead:
http://www.msi.com/support/desktop/ProBox23.html#down-bios&Win7 64

I was running BIOS version A0J.
I have just upgraded to BIOS version A0W (Version E7788IOB V10.0BW-W7)

With the newly upgraded BIOS, the HDMI audio output are still not found with kernel 3.19.0-18

Here is the requested terminal output (after the BIOS upgrade):
$sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
V10.0BW-W7
$sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
03/31/2015

I have the same problem.

I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 64 bits (Desktop Edition). CPU Intel Core i7-4790, GPU Intel HD4600. Using latest BIOS and microcode.

There is no HDMI out sound with latest kernel 3.19.0-18-generic. When I boot with previous kernel (3.19.0-16-generic) the HDMI sound works.

Here is an screenshot of the sound config under 3.19.0-16-generic. It shows the HDMI device, and it works:

Here is the same screenshot under the newest kernel 3.19.0-18-generic. No HDMI driver shown:
http://rt002nf0.eresmas.net/Temp/FPGLINUX%203.19.0-18-generic_01.jpg

If I can help in any way, please, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks and best regards.

AntAgna, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Christopher,

I will be very busy in the next few days.
I will try the latest upstream kernel as soon as I have some time, which should be Saturday the 30th.
