No more HDMI sound (radeon) after update

English Hardware
1

After last weekend’s update (which I’m often weary, when there are north of 1000 packages updated), I don’t have sound anymore. Prior to that, no problem with sound at all, I have used the same setup now for close to 10 years without problems.

My sound is a Radeon graphics card connected via HDMI to the AV receiver.
I have two Radeon graphics cards in my computer, with identical PCI Vendor/Device ID, but different Subvendor/Device ID

The 0a:00.1 card is the one connected to the AV receiver, other card is one with two DVI plugs for my normal dual monitor setup.

I have now configured in yast both devices, aplay -L delivers:

but neither pulseaudio nor direct alsa play (or using mplayer with -ao alsa:device=hw=0,3 or 1,3 gets me any sound. But the sinks happily take the audio data.
aplay -D hw:0,3 -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav happily works, as does any player using pulseaudio.

I haven’t found anything suspicious in dmesg about it. Grepping for sound, hda or radeon:

any ideas what has changed in the last tumbleweed update?

I noticed that in the update, the display names were changed (which xfce uses for assigning the correct background image. Now they are DVI-I-2 and DVI-I-3, I’m pretty sure DVI-I-3 wasn’t there previously, so there definitely something has happened the way the displays (and perhaps with it the audio from the HDMI) are presented to the system.[/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size]

After today’s update of another ~160 packages, sound is working again. Don’t know what is different, though.

The screen names though are back to the old names, i.e. DVI-1 and DVI-2, not DVI-I-3 and DVI-I-2

I ran into the same problem after today’s update (June 5, 2022). Also a Radeon system. Interesting enough, I didn’t experience this kind of issue with the upgrades of May 16.

I have problem with sound over hdmi too, but I have intel integrated graphics. Had kubuntu, now I’m on leap 15.4 (kde) and on the very same machine both distros have no sound over hdmi. I found, that what somehow gets the sound back for me when I set refresh rate of the hdmi monitor to 24Hz. Strange as it sounds.

After today’s update, HDMI sound is there again.

Wasn’t able to log in the last week, but here’s an update:

Alsa sound worked, but not pulseaudio

aplay -L listed only one HDMI sound output

Then, after yesterday’s (6/8) update, pulseaudio worked again and aplay -L again lists both sound cards.

So clearly, things with the HDMI and graphics drivers are in flux currently and after some update they work, then again they don’t. It’s a bit frustrating.

Also, the Yast audio setup, with multiple sound card lists them by their name, but that is derived from the PCI Vendor and Product ID. If two (or more) cards have the same VID:‌P‌ID, it would be nice to see addition information, for example the pci address (bus/device/function).

About 2 updates back, i got my PCI-E cards HDMI back, but not the Motherboards Integrated Intel GPU HDMI audio

21.994659] snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioC0D3: No i915 binding for Intel HDMI/DP codec

Should i be concerned about " 21.994659] snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioC0D3: No i915 binding for Intel HDMI/DP codec" - does not seem good to me

I have run pavucontrol as well, however there is no HDMI listed in the built-in Audio menu which
the PCI-E HDMI shows correctly shows both HDMI and HDMI 5.1

This info used to also be shown in the Built-In Audio menu as well

Help appreciated

Create bug report.

Create bug report.

13

I will definately create a bug report if there are no other answers or testing for me to perform here
I just dont want to annoys devs with a bug report if a newer update comes out within the next week that will fix the issue
Should i wait at least another week before creating a bug report ?

14

I don’t know the answer … BUT … if it were me, and I saw that message, I would be suspicious of a BIOS misconfiguration, and I would double check that the BIOS is enabled for the HDMI audio.

15

Some ‘theory’ which may or may not be relevant … which I read over the internet (and I don’t have the experience to be certain of its accuracy):
HDMI and DisplayPort display connectors can transfer audio as well as video. I speculate the CPU’s built-in Intel iGPU is probably disabled or at the very least has no displays connected to it.

The Intel chipset has a link between the audio chip and the iGPU in order to allow the iGPU’s HDMI/DisplayPort display connectors to output the audio produced by the audio chip. The system firmware metadata tells the HD Audio driver to expect this link. But since the iGPU is not being used, the driver’s attempt to activate this link will fail and the error message failed to add i915 component master will result.

The rest of the audio chip should work just fine, you just won’t be getting audio over HDMI/DisplayPort connectors that are connected to the iGPU (which you probably aren’t using anyway). The message would be of any significance only if you’re trying to use the iGPU in addition to the PCIe GPU in a multi-display set-up, and want to output audio over HDMI or DisplayPort to the speakers of a display that is connected to the iGPU.

Your PCIe GPU may has a second HD-Audio sound chip integrated with it, which will output audio on HDMI/DisplayPort connectors attached to the PCIe GPU. If you’re using Pulseaudio on top of the usual ALSA audio drivers, it can handle this pretty much transparently so you can mix and match audio outputs as you like. If you are using plain ALSA audio drivers and want to output audio over HDMI or DisplayPort, you will need to tell the audio-producing software to use the second HD-Audio chip instead of the default one.

If you’re interested, the function that outputs this message is snd_hdac_i915_init() in file …/sound/hda/hdac_i9i5.c within the Linux kernel source code package.

I recommend reading post #4 and the linked post: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/559638-Am-I-already-using-pipewire?p=3125716#post3125716

Upgrading the hardware of host erlangen resulted in puzzling sound issues: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/541321-Upgrading-the-Hardware?p=3123376#post3123376

Running “zypper install pipewire-pulseaudio” fixed them.

17

I had considered that, and reviewed the UEFI BIOS Audio settings
They have not changed, and are correctly set

18

I have a Tri-Monitor set-up:

My Motherboard iGPU which is connected to my motherboards HDMI port is connectec to my Denon AV Reciever, which is turn in connected to my Sony 40" Monitor by HDMI cable
My small Philips monitor is connected to my PC’s Motherboard via DVI cable
My main/primary monitor is connected to my PCI-E Video card via HDMI cable

My understanding is that DP connectors are only designed to carry picture/video data, while HDMI of course carrys both picture/display and audio data

Thank you for that info, its nice to have the extra data here

Officially confirmed that it’s a bug in the newer packages, as i booted a the most recent LIVE-CD Image of Tumbleweed, and
as far as the GUI is concerned there is only Analog audio out and Digital Output for Optical (IEC958) but no HDMI output exists
for the Built-In audio

My PCI-E Pitcarn/Hainan Video Card has both the HDMI Stereo and HDMI 5.1 surround sound output options - both these options also used to be available
as well for the motherboard internal audio

I will file a bug report in the next few days if the next update does not fix it

You’ve misunderstood. DisplayPort - Wikipedia

For me, DP is must have on new products, whether discrete GPU, motherboard (supporting IGP), laptop, or display. Too many products only have one or the other, leading to need for adapters. DP can output to HDMI passively, but not the reverse (IIUC). DP has supported 2k since its outset, unlike HDMI, which on graphics cards took years to show up. DP is what gets output through USB-C.
