YaST2 - Sound can't configure HDMI audio device: Missing snd-hda-intel

mrmazda · February 14, 2020, 9:02am

Apparently this is not designed for administrator global configuration management, which is my ultimate goal (not simply audio that works):

if the kernel module is loading, what are the parameters in use?
systool -vm snd_hda_intel

Systool is another I don’t remember hearing of before. Yikes! :

$ aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

doesn’t work, and neither do TDE’s system sounds or Firefox on Youtube, but

$ aplay -vv -Dhdmi:1,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

does. If I remove /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf containing:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel

options snd-hda-intel id=HDMI index=0
options snd-hda-intel id=PCH index=1

then

$ aplay -vv -Dhdmi:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

works. If 50-sound.conf contains:

options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel

then

$ aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

fails and

$ aplay -vv -Dhdmi:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

plays. SUSE Paste has this host’s current alsa-info.txt.

Your two links are about “recent” Intel, without providing enough information about SKL, APL, KBL, GLK, CML, WHK or ICL for me to be confident which group any of my Intel devices belong, other than possibly my two Kaby Lakes, which are apparently KBL. I think everything else I have is older, Haswell being the next newest (and working only because of help from Takashi way back when the Haswell was new).

Hi
So did you try the pacmd list-sinks, did you try the aplay commands later in the thread?

Hi
Run as user, set default sink in the global configuration? This is what I do for dedicated gpu’s and screens, on laptops just set on the fly with GNOME settings sound…

The above is the important bit, if you compare with modinfo output can see the descriptions for it to make some sense For example if you set the kernel boot option for a module parameter, then you see if it is active in the above output and set to what you expected it to be.

Seems we have been sidetracked a bit as your system is 15.1, the OP’s is Tumbleweed…

# aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

runs without producing sound

# aplay -vv -Dhdmi:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

works

The above is the important bit, if you compare with modinfo output can see the descriptions for it to make some sense
Funny? Is there more to it that you can see? To me, 97.7% of that is gibberish.

(had to separate a portion due to excess character count)

How does one translate any of that into something belonging on a cmdline?

Run as user, set default sink in the global configuration? This is what I do for dedicated gpu’s and screens, on laptops just set on the fly with GNOME settings sound…
Gnome proper never here except on guest equipment. KDE3, TDE, Plasma and/or IceWM for roughly 99% of my own usage, with rare dabbling in XFCE, Cinnamon, Mate or LXQt for attempts to help others solve their problems.

Again, the goal is to have everything work before the first ordinary user logs in, or is even created. There’s no need for users on a non-working system. That means the superuser has to do the work somehow. If any GUI tool is required by a superuser who is blocked by the tool from using them, he isn’t a superuser, which would mean the system is broken by design.

I really don’t card whether sound works in TW on that PC, but the results seem to be no different:

# aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

runs without producing sound

# aplay -vv -Dhdmi:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

works
Funny? Is there more to it that you can see? To me, 97.7% of that is gibberish.

Hi
This bit (which is talked about in the ML messages) I wonder if setting to N (or 0) may help in TW;


dmic_detect         = "Y"

That would translate to snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 it get’s funky when it’s all the other ones rather than bool

I use none of those desktop environments so I’m probably just banging my head against the wall… all I can say unfortunately is it works for me from the get go, I just had to set hdmi as default on my desktop. Laptops worked on the fly.

# aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav
ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

aplay: main:828: audio open error: Connection refused
# aplay -vv -Dhdmi:1,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav

As shown, without -Dhdmi:1,0, aplay fails for root user, but with it it succeeds. For normal user, -Dhdmi:1,0 isn’t needed to succeed, and Firefox makes Youtube sound without any kind of preconfiguration or setting anywhere.
