Pinebook Pro's audio does not work
by GitHub issues - opened 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #110 was opened from starnight: I have a Pinebook Pro whose audio (including the internal speaker, headphone and internal MIC) does not work by default with general Linux. Here is the [alsa-info.txt](https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/files/7037916/… I notice Manjaro ARM has [asound.state](https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/packages/community/pin… in [pinebookpro-post-install](https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/packages/c… package. If I install the [asound.state](https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/packages/community/pin… into `/var/lib/alsa/`, then `alsactl restore`, all of the audio works! However, I guess that **asound.state** is produced as a result, not the original configuration. If this relates to alsa-ucm-conf project, how should I configure the ucm for Pinebook Pro's audio?

[PATCH for-5.15] ALSA: usb-audio: Move set-interface-first workaround into common quirk
by Takashi Iwai 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

The recent quirk for WALKMAN (commit 7af5a14371c1: "ALSA: usb-audio: Fix regression on Sony WALKMAN NW-A45 DAC") may be required for other devices and is worth to be put into the common quirk flags. This patch adds a new quirk flag bit QUIRK_FLAG_SET_IFACE_FIRST and a quirk table entry for the device.

[PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Fix regression on Sony WALKMAN NW-A45 DAC
by Takashi Iwai 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

We've got a regression report for USB-audio with Sony WALKMAN NW-A45 DAC device where no sound is audible on recent kernel. The bisection resulted in the code change wrt endpoint management, and the further debug session revealed that it was caused by the order of the USB audio interface. In the earlier code, we always set up the USB interface at first before other setups, but it was changed to be done at the last for UAC2/3, which is more standard way, while keeping the old way for UAC1. OTOH, this device seems requiring the setup of the interface at first just like UAC1. This patch works around the regression by applying the interface setup specifically for the WALKMAN at the beginning of the endpoint setup procedure. This change is written straightforwardly to be easily backported in old kernels. A further cleanup to move the workaround into a generic quirk section will follow in a later patch.
