Audio fails after suspend in Intrepid

[sog]

After returning from suspend, audio fails to work (no sound). Prior to suspend, audio is operable. Also, this condition was not present in Hardy; it was only manifested itself following the upgrade (not a clean install) to Intrepid.

Machine in question is Lenovo Thinkpad X301. HAL reports the onboard audio device as a "82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller." For more details, see the attached

I have the exact same problem : no sound after suspend on Intrepid upgraded from Hardy.

I have a Dell Latitude D620, with an audio devices reported as "Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller".

I found no way to enable audio playback again.

The problem is not yet solved, but a workaround was discovered by Jason Brooks.

To re-enable audio following suspend, hit CTL-ALT-F6 and then CTL-ALT-F7. This restored sound after one suspend cycle.

Yep I'm getting the same problem with my HP Voodoo Envy 133.

lspci reports:
"Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller"

aplay -l reports:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

dmesg log attached

BTW I had to add "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" to my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base to get sound working in the first place.

[PhilT (phil-electricvisions)]

Imagine that I just fixed it! I changed model=auto to model=toshiba. Must be something in toshiba's suspend/resume scripts.

same thing here on my Dell D830 with the Intel 82801H ICH8 sound card. alt-f6 + alt-f7 is a valid workaround

Same here, VBI barebone laptop - Compal FL90. Ctrl+Alt+F6, Ctrl+Alt+F7 combo does the trick.

[zorblek (zorblek)]

Same problem on a Dell XPS M1210 (Intel STAC92xx). The workaround works - in fact, I don't even need to hit Ctrl+Alt+F7.

[Matt Collins (mjc506)]

I get this problem too - ASUS laptop A6jc. Audio doesn't play at all, and video plays reallllly slow ~1fps with no audio. Switching to a vtt and back brings everything back to normal though.

[hanzomon4 (hanzomon4)]

Wow that works much better then my workaround "sudo alsa force-reload" Is anyone looking into a fix?

[hanzomon4 (hanzomon4)]

I'm on a Macbook Pro v3.1 32bit intrepid just so you know...

[Jakub (buufy)]

Same bug here on Intel Corporation 82801G (Amilo Pro V3205) after upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10.

Ctrl+Alt+F6, Ctrl+Alt+F7 workaround works for me, but it would be great to have permanent solution :)

[Jakub (buufy)]

I have this fixed for me.

I was experiencing another bug too. When I was shutting down I had to wait for almost 5 minutes for ALSA to shutdown, when my wifi connection was on (but this can be caused even by ethernet card), the bug report is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/274995

I fixed that bug by this altering /etc/init.d/alsa-utils file.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/274995/comments/181 for more

Solution in the answer:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/alsa-utils

The file opens in Gedit and around the line 353 you'll find the instruction "stop)". Below this instruction you should add these two instructions:

ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig eth0 down

So, the file should be this way:

stop)
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig eth0 down
EXITSTATUS=0

This fixed even this suspend bug for. Could these two bugs be possibly related?

[Wolfgang Glas (wglas)]

I experience this bug on my Dell D830, too. This is reported so often, that I set this bug to 'Confirmed'.

I have the same problem in intrepid.
My sound card is:
04:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS

Ctrl+Alt+F6, Ctrl+Alt+F7 workaround does NOT works for me.

As Matt Collins says i experiment the same issue with videos. They play veeeery slow.
I don't understand that there may be relationship between sound and video.

If more info is needed please ask.

[jorge (xxopxe)]

Same here with a Sony Vaio,
The audio card is:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

Also video playing starts stalling.

Intrepid, updated from Hardy. Alt-F6 + Alt-F7 works as a workaround.

[Pierpaolo Follia (pfollia)]

Same problem here on a Lenovo R60. Audio device is a Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family).
Intrepid, updated from Hardy. Ctrl+Alt-F6, Ctrl+Alt-F7 works as a workaround (well, I actually only need to hit Ctrl+Alt-F6).

[erlguta (gonzalomarcote)]

I think this bug is a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/202089

Where jsteinhart propose some pachages to solve it.

[zorblek (zorblek)]

I am not sure that it is the same. Jsteinhart's fix only partially fixed the problem for me, but it sounds like it was successful for most of the people there.
