Sound did work in 2.6.24-5 but not in 2.6.24-7 till 2.6.32-16

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing)]

Sound did work in 2.6.24-5 but not in 2.6.24-7 till 2.6.24-12. I don't have any newer kernels yet. I can still boot the -5 kernel, then sound is working. When booting to the other kernels, I hear some clicks out of my speakers or headphone. The speaker-test application isn't playing any sound in -7 till -12.

The output from ./alsa-info.sh is on http://pastebin.ca/962832

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

This seems to be fixed upstream. I hope thix fix can be added to linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

Hi,

Still not fixed in 2.6.24-14-generic.
new ./alsa-info.sh output: http://pastebin.ca/969740

[Greg Grossmeier (greg.grossmeier)]

Tijmen, what is the specific fix from upstream that fixes this? Is there a link you could provide?

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

Greg,
Someone from the #alsa IRC channel helped me during kernel version -12. He said he made a change which was supposed to fix my problem.
Yesterday, I was unable to find the bug in the bugtracker upstream. I still have no sound.

Thanks for replying :-)

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

I have kernel version 2.6.24-16 now. Still no sound. If I boot to the -5 version I'm still able to enjoy music.

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

And about the 'fix'. There has never been a bug in their buglist. Just someone who said: 'I fixed it'. But I haven't had any results yet. And no one seems to know if this fix is in ubuntu already. I checked the changelog already, couldn't find anything.

[Daniel Gimpelevich (daniel-gimpelevich)]

Apparently, on Feb 23, Daniel T. Chen said "I think the patch_analog updates broke it" and "I'll try to update alsa-source today for it" in #alsa.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Please run `sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset'.

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

tijmen@pruim:~$ uname -a
Linux pruim 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
tijmen@pruim:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset
[sudo] password for tijmen:
 * Resetting ALSA... [ OK ]
tijmen@pruim:~$

So that seems OK. Still no sound tho.

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

OK, I updated to Intrepid. I'm currently at kernel: 2.6.26-2.
Still no sound. Can someone please pick this up? Thanks

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

Okay, I updated my Intrepid, sound is still not working with 2.6.27-1. It didn't work with 2.6.26 either.

This is the follow-up bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/262736

Thank you very much!

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Please test a daily-live image tomorrow (to ensure that you're using 2.6.27-7).

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

uname -a: Linux pruim 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 10 03:55:24 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Sound still not working.

Just watched a YouTube video with my external soundcard. Then I sent the sound with pulseaudio to my built in card. Looks like there is some progress tho, during silent parts I hear a small bit of noise. When someone talks in a video I hear more noise and a bit of the person talking. very unclear though. Earlier it was just 'tick krrgt tick'.

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

What i forgot to mention:

The sound on my external soundcard works excellent.
The description of the noise and such is about the internal card.
I can switch easily between both cards.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Tijmen,

You may want to also test the latest pre-release for Jaunty since that's what is being actively developed at the moment - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

An update on this issue. I just did a fresh install with the 9.04 beta. Sound is still not working. I still hear some 'krrrt tick tick' stuff.

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

Really, when is someone going to fix this? How hard can it be to check the differences between 2.6.24-5 and 2.6.24-7 and roll back the changes made for the soundcard I have? I'm not a kernel or alsa hacker so I have no idea where to start. Is there someone I should contact directly to fix this?

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

This bug report was marked as Triaged a while ago but has not had any updated comments for quite some time. Please let us know if this issue remains in the current Ubuntu release, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . If the issue remains, click on the current status under the Status column and change the status back to "New". Thanks.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

Two years later, this bug is still not fixed. I just updated to lucid with no improvements.

Why is no-one looking at the changes between: 2.6.24-5 and 2.6.24-7 ? That's the moment when the error was 'implemented' in ubuntu.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

If this is not working in the latest Lucid kernel (2.6.32-22), there is a workaround for your AD1986A mixer/codec in bug #308872 which should help. It seems to be applicable to Lucid, given the similar comment in the opening description of bug #524948.

[Leo (leorolla)]

Could you test madbiologist's suggestion and then set this report back to New? Thank you.

[Tijmen Ruizendaal (timing) (tijmen-ruizendaal)]

After an update a few days ago, it works again. I didn't make any changes to settings, just did some updates once in a while. Bug can be closed.
