[Karmic stac9227 regression] No sound after upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic

Can you hear output from "speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front"?

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

I can't tell if this is a duplicate or not, but yesterday running an up
to date Jaunty everything was fine, then I upgraded to Karmic (via
update-manager -d), rebooted and there is no sound. I tried unmuting
things with alsamixer and the gnome mixer, stopping and starting
pulseaudio, removing ~/.pulse but nothing worked. :( I'm not sure where
to go from here as I don't know the sound stack very well.

No sound after upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu
Audio Team, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in ubuntu.

I have been using karmic for some time now and I used to have sound. Yesterday, I updated the system and now the sound is no longer working on reboot. I think it may be related to this bug (although it is not an upgrade from Jaunty) because I have the same audio card.

Pulseaudio was updated yesterday I believe:

pulseaudio (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu2)
SECURITY UPDATE: root escalation from BIND_NOW re-execution.
0040-do-not-exec-for-bindnow.patch: use -Wl,-z,now instead of performing a racey re-exec.
CVE-2009-1894

Reverting to pulseaudio 0.9.14-0ubuntu20 did not fix the problem on my laptop. I don't think pulseaudio is the problem, at least not for me.

I reverted gstreamer to 0.10.23 too but it still did not help.

However, I noticed that I have sound with mplayer. It seems like only gnome apps are affected maybe.

Please ignore my messages. My sound is back. It turns out it was simply a sound settings problem. Apparently my PCM level was reset to 0 (probably by one of the updates?).

Unfortunately, no sound:

Something has already grabbed hw:0. Try:

pkill pulseaudio; speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front

(See also sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*)

Both 'Center' and 'LFE' are also muted, but I have not looked at your
codec output yet.

Hmmm, still no sound. pkill pulseaudio wasn't good enough cause pulseaudio kept restarting. I saw this in .xsession-errors:
** (gnome-volume-control-applet:5093): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...

** (gnome-volume-control-applet:5093): WARNING **: Unable to get default source

I did have a volume control applet open and then one in the notification area. I removed the applet, then fiddled with the notification area one. Eventually it went away and I got this in .xsession-errors:
** (gnome-volume-control:18676): WARNING **: Unable to find stream for bar
Assertion 'pa_atomic_load(&(c)->_ref) >= 1' failed at pulse/ext-stream-restore.c:202, function pa_ext_stream_restore_write(). Aborting.

At this point I could kill pulseaudio and it wouldn't restart. So I did:
$ speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front

speaker-test 1.0.20

After this, I noticed that pulseaudio had restarted itself. I checked /var/log/user.log and see:

Jul 18 15:56:23 severus pulseaudio[18671]: alsa-source.c: We were woken up with POLLIN set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.

So this seems it is likely it, but I don't know how to proceed. Please advise. Thanks!

Those messages are not related to your audio being muted, however.

Try disabling autospawn temporarily:
echo "autospawn = no" > ~/.pulse/client.conf && killall pulseaudio &&
speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front

(To revert to stock behavior, just rm ~/.pulse/client.conf)

Ok, that worked to stop autospawn, but still no sound:

$ echo "autospawn = no" > ~/.pulse/client.conf && killall pulseaudio &&

Have you tried removing the state file? I think I missed a step when I let
you know on irc. You need:

sudo /sbin/alsa force-unload && sudo rm /var/lib/alsa/asound.state

then reboot

To avoid overloading the term "input", do you mean the front
microphone ("input") jack, or do you mean the headphone out jack? If
the former, see:

I'm sorry. The front of the computer has two jacks-- a microphone and a headphone. The speakers are connected to the headphone jack. This jack showed up as 'Front' in the mixer in Jaunty.

To help pinpoint whether this is a driver regression, please try model=ref:

sudo /sbin/alsa force-unload && sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel model=ref && speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front

Still no sound. As before, I had to run /sbin/alsa force-unload twice to unload all the modules. Here is the output:

I'm not sure why this is still Incomplete, as I think I gave everything asked of me.

That said, I decided to boot into kernel 2.6.28-13.45-generic (ie, Jaunty's kernel) on my up to date Karmic system, and I have sound with:
$ paplay /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg

Thanks; we'll need to git bisect next.

As Daniel knows, I tried several kernels going back to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29.6/ and still no sound.

I am out of town, but when I get home I'll run 'apport-collect -p linux' and verify against the -5 kernel.

This bug affects me too - same soundcard:

card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I have good sound in the speakers but no sound from the headphone jack. This was always the case for me in all previous releases so I used to add

See http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=dtchen/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/audio-fixes

Please try the udev-related and pulseaudio-related packages in the
~ubuntu-audio-dev PPA.

I tried udev and pulseaudio from the PPA and still no sound. I have not tried a kernel with the above git commit though-- is that available somehwere?

Added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/hda-model-test.conf and rebooted, but still no sound:

Please first test without enable_msi=1.

Unfortunately, these kernels did not work with or without enable_msi=1.

Ok, so using enable_msi=1, please dump then attach here the contents of
/proc/asound/card*/codec* under the following conditions (make sure you have
disabled pulse's autospawn, i.e., echo autospawn = no|tee -a
~/.pulse/client.conf):

with headphones unplugged, use speaker-test -c2 -Dplughw:0

On a cold boot with pulseaudio set to not autospawn, logging in to tty1, with the speakers plugged into the back of the computer (ie 'not' headphones) and doing speaker-test -c2 -Dplughw:0 I heard white noise alternating between the left and right speakers. The test called it 'pink noise' but what I heard sounded like the ocean (without the undulations).

On a cold boot with pulseaudio set to not autospawn, logging in to tty1, with the speakers plugged into the front of the computer (ie 'with' headphones) and doing speaker-test -c2 -Dplughw:0 I heard nothing, even though the test said it was alternating between speakers.

Attached is the output of /proc/asound/card*/codec* from both of those runs.

Hopeful that the rear audio jack would work, I reenabled pulseaudio, rebooted and logged in and had the login sound. Interestingly, 'paplay /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg' just hung. 'aplay /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg' resulted in horrible screeching noises.

Should mention rhythmbox does work though.

Right, aplay requires PCM input. At least we're making progress; it
seems the (alsa, via linux) pin-out config has regressed, so in this
case it's not a PA issue. I'll look further this evening when I'm off
work.

alsamixer was listing me as having this chipset so I googled. Sure 'nuff, I'm not the only one with issues after the karmic upgrade.

For some reason volume control is controlling the master channel, badly, (it properly registers raising/lowering in alsamixer, from 0 to 100% but if I use the gnome sound control to go from 100% to 0% to 100% it goes from 100% to 0% to 38% according to alsamixer, all the while showing 100% in the gnome control).

Additionally, volume control doesn't really work since all of a sudden all sound is going through some minor channel I had initially had muted called "Speaker 3" - the main volume control doesn't appear to control it at all.

If I unmute that I can control volume with alsamixer, but that's hardly convenient. Wiping ~/.pulse w/ pulse killed didn't help.

The hardware is reported in the gnome control panel as "Internal Audio 1 Input/1 Output" - there is no option to change outputs.

There are a number of other profiles, none of which offer an "Input" option, and anyway if I switch to them the output gets screwed up. Changes from "Internal Audio Stero" to "Null" when I do so, and doesn't work again until I restart pulse.

I'm guessing from this and the extensive debugging on this thread that support for this device is hopelessly mucked up.

So, guess I'm just going to lurk here and watch for developments.
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
SigmaTel STAC9227

Now for no obvious reason after latest update and reboot a completely different channel (Center) is being used.
Master still doesn't work, adjusting volume still gets random results.

It seems that I have the same issue. If you need a tester on this (even recompiling the kernel), feel free to ask me.

I made some progress on this:
I downloaded:
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa.git;a=blob_plain;f=hda-analyzer/run.py;hb=HEAD
Then on page codec-0 there is GPIO section. I enabled checkbox enable[0] and sound started working.
I have absolutely no idea why this worked but at least I have sound now.
Can anyone reproduce the same behavior?

(And pluging my headphones did not turn off the speakers.)

Should be fixed in latest sound. Will be merged into 2.6.32

Jamie, I'm pretty busy the rest of this week, so if you have time to build from my git tree, the minimal fix is in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=dtchen/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=commitdiff;h=e4103061735f86d58ec5fd4f5811f65a6da1621d

This is a backport of changeset af6ee302020101bd16c7224c2b03a5fb36e17d99 from sound-2.6.git.

Analog Output continues to work fine bug Analog Headphones does not. This is after applying the above patch to 2.6.31-10.34.

Jamie, have you gotten a chance to test the latest commits in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=dtchen/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/lp400682 ?

I tried to build this against 10.35 with these patches applied in this order:
ece38231e54244be3fecdc5820b8e3188fec3f81
eae8954b7581724583870eb9ed184a7a590ad132

9ea9b92ddfd37a0247815f56f4bb44e40cbba230

But the kernel FTBFS:
  CC [M] sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.o
/home/jamie/ubuntu/sbuild/kernel/linux-2.6.31/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c: In function 'stac92xx_init':

Reset status to 'In Progress' as the committed changes do not fix it for me (yet).

Sorry, brown paperbag bug. Fixed in commit 80abe54.

I tried with this commit too and it compiled fine. Rebooting into this kernel showed no change. Headphone out does not work. I used the PulseAudio Volume Control to make sure it wasn't muted and it was not. I then plugged the speakers into the regular output (non-headphone) and it works fine. Marking back to In Progress for now.

Have we tested this with the latest karmic kernel? If not it might be worth doing so. Also does the latest upstream 2.6.32-rc3 kernel from the mainline kernel archive work for you?

We have created a new package which contains the latest alsa. The latest alsa seems to have fixed a few problems that are similar to this. Could you please install linux-backports-modules-alsa and retest then report back to the bug.

Thanks

Headphone output still doesn't work. Plugging the speakers into the front headphone jack, I went to Applications/Sound and Video/PulseAudio Volume Control, then set 'port' to 'Analog Headphones'. It is not muted and shows sound when playing an ogg file, but no sound comes through the speakers.

Plugging the speakers into the back of the computer and selecting 'Analog Output' in PulseAudio Volume Control produces sound (everything else looks the same as when selecting 'Analog Headphones').

Please attach labeled /proc/asound/card*/codec* when:

1) headphones/speakers are not inserted;
2) headphones/speakers are inserted into the front hp jack;
3) headphones/speakers are inserted into the rear jack

I should also mention that alsamixer shows 100% for Headphone, PCM and Front, with Master as 64.

No difference on 2.6.32-rc4.

Here are the files after doing a power cycle between each.

Here is the codec output when booting into a 2.6.28-13-generic and Karmic userspace. Sound used to work there, but no longer does. Perhaps it is a pulseaudio issue cause I noticed in the PulseAudio Volume Control shows the output device as 'Dummy Output'.

The following was tested with the 20091012 snapshot in linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.31-14-generic (2.6.31-14.16):

testing hp_detect hint (unrelated due to misrouting)
testing different init verbs due to 5stack and 5stack-no-fp models

The key here is that vref and routing have regressed due to the autodetect changes in 2.6.29+:

I have also the same problem when upgrading from jaunty to karmic.

I've tryed to follow this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449

I did every step up until "Getting the ALSA drivers from a *fresh* kernel" and nothing worked.

And then i read in the headlines "If you cannot use hear anything, and you have just installed Ubuntu, then it could very possibly be a bug"

oops, im sorry

Hello, I have the same problem with this hardware audio:
"lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)"

After some search for the solution I have re-installed ubuntu and the sound come back ... until I install de modem software driver, that I really don't need. After uninstall this driver the sound come back again.

Antonio.

Try to delete ~/.pulse-cookie directory. Maybe this resolve your problem.

Same problem here.
Upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic. In Jaunty everything worked fine. After the upgrade there was no sound anymore..
Also the touchpad of my Lenovo R500 ist not working anymore

cheers Chris

Hi!

I did a clean Install today and all my errors are gone. Sound and Touchpad back again as used to. Until now no errors found.
So maybe affected people should concider a cleaninstall if you dont want to wait until bug is fixed :)

cheers Chris

I had uninstalled agrms driver for the modem and returned to have sound on ALC880 sound card with Si3054 modem. There is any uncompatibility with those drivers?

@VPablo That's a PA issue, not an ALSA issue.

Any update on this ?
Eagerly waiting for a solution.

I finally upgraded this machine to lucid, and am still have the problem.

Approved the Karmic task and added the Lucid one. Since Karmic released with this bug, feel free to adjust the Karmic task as necessary.

Please attach /proc/asound/card*/codec* from Lucid.

The same bug affected my Karmic Koala. Sound is turned off. It's happened after upgrading Alsa → alsa-base (1.0.20+dfsg-1ubuntu5) to 1.0.22.1+dfsg-0ubuntu3~ricotz1; and pulseaudio → pulseaudio (1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4.1) to 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu11~~karmic~ubuntuaudiodev1).
My kernel is : 2.6.32-15-generic.
Then I tried to downgrade to the previous version, but the sound hasn't returned.

Does it needs an apport-collect -p linux from lucid too?

I can provide if, just let me know.

Now, it seems to work :-) Great thanks for everyone who was working on that bug!
