No sound output Matebook D16 AMD Renoir (4600H)

Support Sound
,
1

Hi everyone,

I installed Manjaro on this matebook and initially couldn’t get any sound device to work. After some fiddling I was able to get the microphone to work by uncommenting

load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0

That line, so the microphone now works but the speakers don’t.

To be clear, the only available output device is ‘dummy output’

I’ve tried a few older and newer Kernels, I’m on 5.14.10 now and no luck

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you can be buddies…

I’m hopeful, it’d be nice to share similar issues with other not so lucky users :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hi @ufierro ,
I wonder whether you can read this post, in section 2 there are some ways to discover what is happening to the sound output.

‘PulseAudio/Troubleshooting - ArchWiki’

Hope this help, regards.

But I’m not too sure what to make of it, it seems as if the card was being detected just fine but no sink is created, I might be wrong though I don’t have much experience with pulseaudio

Ok so I’m still not sure what happened but somewhere along the lines of restarting pulseaudio the DisplayPort output devices started showing up so there’s that, I still can’t use the speakers though

i have the same problem on a Huawei matebook amd 14. have you solved with the speakers?

Hi,
The sound is managed by two applications mainly: pavucontrol and pulseaudio.
The first is represented by an icon in the menu bar or you can run it from the terminal with the following command: pavucontrol. The graphical interface let you see the settings of the pulseaudio systemd unit.

The second let you get an insight on the eventual problems on the sound. For example, in order to debug a problem, from the link I posted, you could run in a terminal:

systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.socket stop pulseaudio services

systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service

At last, restart the service in verbose mode

pulseaudio -v

In the same post, you could read that when the audio is not present may be mutted and you can run

alsamixer -c 0 which is a graphical interface for the pulseaudio service. Maybe the master is mutted and you and press m to unmutte the output.

In the same section on the post it is linked to another which states that you can disable auto mute on the startup running:
amixer -c 0 sset "Auto-Mute Mode" Disabled
and then, if it works,

``alsactl store``` store the settings and never auto mute the audio on boot.

Hope this help, regards

Sorry guys we are all professionals. this problem goes deeper and can not be solved with 2 settings changes. this is more a kernel, sound card driver problem or maybe Manjaro specific. My Manjaro branch is on testing. Arch linux says my computer (Huawei AMD 14 2020) sound works out of the box, maybe someone has tried Arch.
waiting for the next software updates…

i forgot to say sound over hdmi or a bluetooth is working fine.
thanks

Hi,
I could answer that the hardware woks well on Manjaro according to the following link:
‘AMD Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio Controller’
Maybe your laptop is not listed and there is good evidence and it is not my technical skills, which are not good for sure.

You can freely apply this command in order to solve this message.

sudo mkdir -p /etc/pulse/default.pa.d

Regards,

looks promising from kernel log 5.14.15
ALSA: hda: intel: Allow repeatedly probing on codec configuration errors

[ Upstream commit c0f1886de7e173865f1a0fa7680a1c07954a987f ]

It seems that a few recent AMD systems show the codec configuration
errors at the early boot, while loading the driver at a later stage
works magically.  Although the root cause of the error isn't clear,
it's certainly not bad to allow retrying the codec probe in such a
case if that helps.

This patch adds the capability for retrying the probe upon codec probe
errors on the certain AMD platforms.  The probe_work is changed to a
delayed work, and at the secondary call, it'll jump to the codec
probing.

Note that, not only adding the re-probing, this includes the behavior
changes in the codec configuration function.  Namely,
snd_hda_codec_configure() won't unregister the codec at errors any
longer.  Instead, its caller, azx_codec_configure() unregisters the
codecs with the probe failures *if* any codec has been successfully
configured.  If all codec probe failed, it doesn't unregister but let
it re-probed -- which is the most case we're seeing and this patch
tries to improve.

Even if the driver doesn't re-probe or give up, it will go to the
"free-all" error path, hence the leftover codecs shall be disabled /
deleted in anyway.

Hi,
Good news, so using linux510 kernel will behave as expected.

Thank you for the post,

Regards

latest kernel now tries to load the codec but there is still an error in sof-firmare. so we have to wait until problem is solved. sof team is working hard.

Got the same problem. Has to dual boot windows in order to use audio…
