Audio Card not recognized since last update

[frolic_fringe]

Hello,

Since I’ve updated my computer I don’t have audio anymore. Manjaro-pulse is installed.

Pavucontrol shows a dummy output, my usb webcam but not my motherboard audio card. Same with alsamixer. I’m not sure how to fix this, I’ve tried various fix without success.

Thanks,

Here is my inxi -A for comparison:

  Sound Server-1: PulseAudio v: 16.1 running: yes
  Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.65 running: yes

Your PipeWire isn’t running, try looking for issues with

journalctl --boot=0 --grep="audio|pipew"

Are you running on kernel LTS 5.10? There is a newer LTS 5.15 available, it might help if the root issue is caused by package vs kernel versions, which is hard to diagnose.

I’m not sure how to fix this, I’ve tried various fix without success.

Maybe try to switch to SOF with the snd-intel-dspcfg module. Probably you need to upgrade the kernel to v5.15.

Also there is hdajackretask to adjust the pins when using snd_hda_intel (package: alsa-tools).

Why it happens? No idea

[nikgnomic]

If this is a desktop system, the onboard audio device (Intel Cannon Lake PCH) has the correct driver snd_hda_intel and Sound Open Firmware driver is not needed.
snd_sof_pci driver is only needed to support internal digital microphone array on Intel laptop systems

Pavucontrol creates Dummy Output sink when there are no other sinks available for audio playback

I suggest first to check pavucontrol --tab=5 Configuration tab for Built-In Audio device
the card Profile might be set to either ‘Off’ or an input-only Profile

If the tab does not show onboard audio device, I suggest installing latest Long Term Support kernel v6.1

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux61 

If the Configuration tab still does not show onboard audio device with new kernel, Use these commands to check ALSA playback devices and error messages:

aplay -l; sudo dmesg | grep snd

[frolic_fringe]

Sorry for the delay, I was away from the desktop for a few days.

@mishmosh

I’ve tried various kernel, from the one I’ve installed the OS with 4 year ago to the latest 6.1.12-1

I don’t want to run pipewire, although I did test if audio worked with it by installing the manjaro-pipwire package (or whatever it is called) but it didn’t.

@megavolt

Can you provide some ressource to switch to snd-intel-dspcfg? same with hdajackretask I get “no codec found. Sorry”

@nikgnomic
This is indeed a desktop.

The configuration tab only shows the usb-camera “mono-input” , “off”

I’m on the latest LTS kernel

Here’s the output of

aplay -l; sudo dmesg | grep snd

@frolic_fringe

Can you provide some ressource to switch to snd-intel-dspcfg?

It is not actually switching to that. I’ve done it recently that way:

0. Open a terminal and type there to follow the kernel messages:

sudo dmesg --follow-new

1. Close any application which uses sound at any matter.

2. Open a second terminal and stop the sound server:

systemctl --user stop pipewire
# If you still uses pulseaudio you need this:
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio

3. Unload the driver:

sudo modprobe -rv snd_hda_intel

4. Switch the config:

sudo modprobe -v snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=3

Moreinformation by this command: modinfo snd-intel-dspcfg

5. Check which driver was loaded:

inix -Aazy

Also the first terminal should show information.

6. Start the sound server again:

systemctl --user start pipewire
# If you still uses pulseaudio you need this:
systemctl --user start pulseaudio

7. Check if there is any difference.

Note that these steps are only temporary. To make it work permanently, you need to add a config at /etc/modprobe.d/.

About hdajackretask, I made this recently: Intel Cannon Lake PCH cAVS | Conexant CX20632 | No sound at HDMI or DisplayPort - #2 by megavolt However, when I read this:

@frolic_fringe

That I would say you need SOF instead or for some reason it cannot detect your sound device.

[frolic_fringe]

I tried your procedure, with no success.

I’m really at loss here.

[kraken-gz]

Cmo’n people. I also have similar issue

[nikgnomic]

This is indeed a desktop.

System has the correct driver snd_hda_intel

Can you provide some ressource to switch to snd-intel-dspcfg?

Sound Open Firmware (SOF) driver is for Intel laptops only

Forcing use of SOF driver is not needed for a desktop system that does not have an internal digital microphone array

Intel Laptops since Kaby Lake era have built-in digital microphone array and need SOF driver for the microphone

---

Response from aplay -l shows only title line – no playback devices detected in ALSA

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

dmesg states – no codecs found! and does not detect Realtek ALC887-VD codec

dmesg also shows a misconfiguration

dmic_detect option is deprecated, pass snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 option instead

Option snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0 was the old method to disable SOF driver,
but was deprecated 2 years ago and replaced by snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1
Option is outdated and not suitable for a desktop system, and is likely causing ALSA to fail to detect audio codec

I suggest:

1. Remove option snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0 from system
   (may have been added in a file /etc/modprobe.d/ or kernel boot option in /etc/default/grub)

2. Reboot system and check in BIOS that onboard audio device is turned on

3. check if audio device is detected in ALSA - aplay -l

4. If no device is detected get a full ALSA diagnostic – sudo alsa-info.sh --upload

[frolic_fringe]

@nikgnomic

Thanks a lot for going over the solution that didn’t work and reasons why.

I didn’t had any snd option set (I tried that option but removed it as it didn’t change anything)

There is indeed no audio device detected with aplay -l.

Here is the diagnostic url

http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=682797dc9fb46e892372f0ae0e223451fbb00b2b

[megavolt]

@frolic_fringe The only thing I could imagine now, is that the Audio is disabled in the UEFI Settings. That is perfectly doable. Otherwise, the Audio Device is gone.

[frolic_fringe]

Damn, I didn’t though about a material issue up to this point, thanks

I’ve booted with two live iso, ubuntu LTS and manjaro. Both have non working audio. There are only two audio related option in my BIOS (enable HD audio and sth else) I’ve tried switching them to no avail.

I guess the issue is my hardware, not sure what happened as even hdmi audio is not working.

I’ll try flashing bios when I have some time and if that doesn’t work I will get a external usb dac.

Thanks everybody for the guidance.

[nikgnomic]

Latest ALSA data is worse than previous data.
Not only is there no audio device detected; there is also no sign of snd_hda_intel driver
dmsg shows system does not even try to find codec for absent driver

If system doesn’t work on 2 Live ISOs it probably is a hardware failure

[frolic_fringe]

I’ve updated the bios with the latest version in a last ditch effort, no changes.

It’s certainly hardware failure, but I don’t see anything after a visual inspection of the motherboard.

Thanks a lot @nikgnomic and @megavolt for your detective work.

I’ll mark it resolved.
