Sound card profile off after recent update - no sound at all

nikgnomic · 15 2024 19:16

Use the jack retasking tool and check if it can detect both audio cards

sudo hdajackretask

If the retasking tool shows HDA Intel PCH onboard audio card only and does not show HDA Creative card, it will not be possible to disable jack-detection for individual pins
But it might be possible to disable jack-detection for both cards using a parser hint:

Enable Parser hints option in hdajackretask
Double-click on jack_detect value to change it from default to no
Click Install Boot override
reboot system to load the override

More Notes on HD-Audio Driver - Hint Strings — The Linux Kernel documentation

ALSA has 2 mutually exclusive systemd units alsa-restore.service and alsa-state.service

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - ALSA and systemd - ArchWiki

alsa-restore.service reads /var/lib/alsa/asound.state on boot and writes updated values on shutdown, provided /etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf does not exist.
As /etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf is not created without a conscious action of the user, it is the default method.

alsa-state.service (Re-)Starts alsactl in daemon mode to continuously keep track of, and persist, volume changes, under the condition that the user has consciously created /etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf

Manjaro uses alsa-restore.service as default method, same as Arch

@nikgnomic,

sudo hdajackretask gives me a GUI that gives me a choice of codec (?!). No sound card options I can find. Help?

In the event the codec info is relevant:

“Select a codec” options offered:
Intel Kabylake HDMI
Realtek ALC892
Realtek ALC898

None of them mean anything to me.

I’d try the one for ALC898 as that’s what @nikgnomic mentioned is what your system uses.

nikgnomic · 16 2024 10:35

Previous data shows Creative card is Realtek ALC898

Enable Advanced Override option in hdajackretask to see jack detection settings

Enable “Override” for the Green Headphone, Front side pin and change Jack detection to disabled

Enable “Override” for any visible pins Red Line Out, Rear side or Black Line Out, Rear side
and change Jack detection to disabled

If all 3 Line Out Rear side pins (0x14, 0x15, 0x16) are shown, one pin should be for Front Channel (usually Green), one for Rear Channel (usually Black) and one for Center/LFE Channels (usually Orange)

When output jacks have been retasked, click Install Boot Override
(also suggest taking a screenshot of the override settings)
Reboot system to load the override

phid · 16 2024 11:38

Oh that one was obvious, doh. Thanks, y’all.

I enabled Parser hints and changed jack_detect fault to No, installed boot override, rebooted.

I also used the Advanced Override to change Jack detection to “not present” (there was no “disabled” option) on all outgoing lines (four total, including front headset one). Installed boot override and rebooted.

EDIT TO ADD: “sudo hdajacksensetest --card=1” still renders “No pins found for card 1 codec 0, did you pick the right one?”

If the boot override is working and jack detection is disabled, pactl list cards should show output profiles as availability unknown instead of available: no

If the boot override is not working, click Remove boot override before trying to install another override

phid · 20 2024 10:35

nikgnomic,

I did the following:

sudo hdajackretask, return everything to default, Remove boot override, reboot.
sudo hdajackretask, override all four output lines by changing “Jack detection” to “Not present”, Installed boot override, and rebooted.

pactl list cards

The analog output Profiles shown as available:yes is better than I expected
(maybe pipewire-pulse is reporting availability as a simple yes/no thing and not showing unknown availability similar to pulseaudio)

And pipewire-pulse is now using Active Profile: output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

If pipewire-pulse is still using the HDMI output as default-sink for audio playback

Help please

Using pipewire-pulse is not necessary if pipewire-pulse.service is already running.

To restart pipewire-pulse:

systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse

phid · 2 2024 20:09

I got the impression I was supposed to do something with pipewire based on your last post. So I did something. It was the wrong thing, clearly, but I don’t know the right thing. Is the right thing now to restart pipewire-pulse? I’m confused. Thanks.

nikgnomic · 3 2024 15:59

If audio is working as expected there is nothing more to be done

If audio is working but pipewire-pulse is still using the HDMI output for audio playback you can
use the command suggested in previous post to change the default-sink, or use audio GUI controls to change default playback device

phid · 4 2024 12:31

No audio is working.

I take your response to confirm that the sound card cannot be accessed and thus my only available sound, in your opinion, is through my monitor’s HDMI? Is that correct? Thank you for all your time.

nikgnomic · 4 2024 13:51

No audio is working.

The HDMI one was on but got turned off at some point. I’m most interested in getting the sound card operative so my speakers work, though.

Thanks.

Creative card outputs for Line Out and Headphones are shown as not available

Card #44
        Name: alsa_card.pci-0000_03_00.0
 
                alsa.card = "1"
  
                alsa.mixer_name = "Realtek ALC898"

                alsa.id = "Creative"
 
        Profiles:

                output:analog-stereo: Analog Stereo Output (sinks: 1, sources: 0, priority: 6500, available: no)

        Active Profile: off
        Ports:

                analog-output-lineout: Line Out (type: Line, priority: 9000, latency offset: 0 usec, availability group: Legacy 4, not available)

                analog-output-headphones: Headphones (type: Headphones, priority: 9900, latency offset: 0 usec, availability group: Legacy 5, not available)

It looks like the jack-retasking in ALSA is not working and system is back to using HDMI output

I suggest remove and re-install the boot override in hdajackretask

I also suggest (optional) install PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol or pavucontrol-qt) to check card Profiles and Ports
Output Devices tab (pavucontrol --tab=3) to view the Ports
Configuration tab (pavucontrol --tab=5) to view the Profiles

@nikgnomic,

This time, when I sat down to get into this again (apologies, but it’s been a hectic summer for me, hence the lags in response), I plugged in my speakers and rebooted and now I have sound, from the sound card. Something you had me do did the trick but what? No clue.

I’m thinking it would be a good idea at this point for me to save the details of my audio configuration.

Thank you for your help and patience. The problem is solved.
