Dell monitor audio devices periodically turn off and on

[n2o]

I have a weird phenomenon: the speakers and microphone devices of my external Dell screen periodically (irregular, about every 5-10s) turn off and on again when no sound is playing on them or the built-in laptop adapter. If sound is playing, all is good but if the monitor is selected as output device, I get screen notifications about changing output devices every time which is a little distracting.

Sometimes the audio tab in system settings is showing all devices, sometimes only the microphone, sometimes none and sometimes it shows the whole card as inactive (see below).

The setup:

• Up-to-date Manjaro KDE stable
• Framework laptop
• Dell S2722DZ monitor connected via USB-C

I find tons of those in the journal but not as often as the device flutter:

Apr 09 11:35:05 r23 plasmashell[878]: org.kde.plasma.pulseaudio: No object for name "alsa_output.usb-Dell_S2722DZ-00.analog-stereo"
Apr 09 11:35:05 r23 systemsettings[230667]: org.kde.plasma.pulseaudio: No object for name "alsa_output.usb-Dell_S2722DZ-00.analog-stereo"

I tried resetting, rebooting, unplugging - no change. Other threads suggest installing pipewire but that is installed as well.

Any ideas?

Is there any other possibility to connect the monitor: HDMI or Display Port ?

[n2o]

I could use a USB-C-HDMI adapter but then I lose the usb hub in the monitor.

@n2o

Dell S2722DZ monitor connected via USB-C

Could be a power setting somewhere.

4 screenshots of the same thing? Is that really necessary?

Please - avoid screenshots - if needed hide them inside a Summary tag

Could be a power setting somewhere.

Do you mean in the monitor? I did not find anything in the settings menu.

4 screenshots of the same thing? Is that really necessary?

I’m not sure if all four are necessary but they show the four different status that occur.

Please - avoid screenshots - if needed hide them inside a Summary tag

Sorry about that. I edited my post and hid them.

[Keruskerfuerst]

Which laptop do you have ?

[linux-aarhus]

@n2o

Do you mean in the monitor?

I was more thinking your laptop - whatever brand you use.

Or it could be conflicts - or disagreement - if you have two soundservers running.

Regarding sound servers everything should be as it was during installation:

$ ps aux | grep 'pipe\|pulse'

Pipewire and pulse are the two options, correct?

[Keruskerfuerst]

The kernel is not at version 6.6.25. This is the most recent version.

[n2o]

Ok I updated but the problem is still there.

[Keruskerfuerst]

Can you post the manufacturer and model of laptop.
This can´t be seen in inxi -F.

[n2o]

It’s a Framework 13", about two years old. The mainboard is this: Framework | Mainboard (13th Gen Intel® Core™).

[Keruskerfuerst]

Can you post some useful information about your laptop ?

[n2o]

I’m not 100% sure how you define “useful” but here is all I have:

I’m not 100% sure how you define “useful”

Useful:

Welcome to Manjaro!

1. Please read the information behind this link. It will help you to post necessary information.

[HowTo] Request support

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Strong of its many members, the Manjaro support forum can provide you help whenever you have an issue with your Manjaro installation. But in order to work efficiently, we shall also ask you to follow three major points. Provide context Simply signaling an issue is rarely enough to understand how it occurred. It is thus important to provide details on how it happened: Detail prior actions leading to the issue. List solutions and guides you already tried, with links when…

2. Please press the three dots … below your post and then press the

• If you give us information about your system, we can see what we’re talking about and make better suggestions.
• You can do this by using inxi in a terminal or in console.

sudo inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width --repos

• Personally identifiable information such as serial numbers and MAC addresses are filtered out by this command
• Presenting the information in this way allows everyone to be familiar with the format and quickly find the items they need without missing anything.

3. Copy the output from inxi (including the command) and paste it into your post.

• To make it more readable, add 3 backticks ``` on an extra line before and after the pasted text.

[HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Formatting differences Discourse – this forum’s engine – uses Markdown to format its posts, and removes “unnecessary” whitespace. Terminal commands often produce output formatted so that they are better readable by the user, taking advantage of the monospaced font used. Programming code often rely on indentation to make it more readable. Using preformatting in Markdown Markdown includes a pattern to provide preformatting when necessary. You only need to put the part to f…

Have you already for your problem in the forum ? (Wisdom lies in asking → listening → reading )

[n2o]

Sorry I’m lost. I read exactly that and pasted the result of the inxi command above, between detail tags as requested further above. I’m somewhat tech savvy but I’m afraid I can’t find anymore information I can provide.

That said I appreciate everyone’s attention and time trying to help very much. Thanks for that!

[Olli]

please post the output of the 2 following commands

sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/guc_info
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/huc_info

[n2o]

Hm I don’t have those, just /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/gt0/uc/?uc_info, but:

GuC disabled
HuC disabled

I’m doing it wrong, am I not :-?

[Olli]

no, everything is fine. a question. is the hdmi-cable the original one that was included to the monitor? keep in mind that there are a lot of different hdmi-versions and a wrong hdmi-cable can cause the trouble.

[n2o]

Good point. It’s actually a usb-c cable. The monitor has two usb-a ports that I can use via this connection. Could that be a problem? I mean yes it probably could. It’s just weird that the sounds works flawlessly until I stop playing it when the back and forth (see screenshots above) starts.
