alsa-lib update from 1.2.12 to 1.2.13 causes HDMI/DsiplayPort outputs to disappear
by GitHub issues - opened 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #423 was opened from mwsltn: Basic Info: Linux Distro: Arch Kernel Version: 6.12.1 I have very reliably been using a USB-C connected external monitor that has internal speakers represented by the output device: `HDMI / DisplayPort 1` After running a package update this AM all the HDMI/DisplayPort outputs disappeared. First I downgraded the kernel which didn't help, then checked the pacman logs to see what else had changed and the list included the following: ``` [2024-11-26T05:07:01-0600] [ALPM] upgraded alsa-ucm-conf (1.2.12-1 -> 1.2.13-1) [2024-11-26T05:07:01-0600] [ALPM] upgraded alsa-lib (1.2.12-1 -> 1.2.13-1) [2024-11-26T05:07:01-0600] [ALPM] upgraded alsa-utils (1.2.12-1 -> 1.2.13-1) ``` So I downgrade: ``` [2024-11-26T06:51:22-0600] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.12-1-any.pkg.tar.zst file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/alsa-lib-1.2.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/alsa-utils-1.2.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' [2024-11-26T06:51:24-0600] [ALPM] downgraded alsa-ucm-conf (1.2.13-1 -> 1.2.12-1) [2024-11-26T06:51:24-0600] [ALPM] downgraded alsa-lib (1.2.13-1 -> 1.2.12-1) [2024-11-26T06:51:24-0600] [ALPM] downgraded alsa-utils (1.2.13-1 -> 1.2.12-1) ``` Problem fixed.

kernel snd seq bugs: SND_SEQ_EVENT_CLIENT_CHANGE & SND_SEQ_EVENT_PORT_CHANGE
by Mark Lentczner 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

I'm the author of amidiminder - a utility that keeps track of desired connections between ALSA Seq (MIDI) ports. I've found a bug in the kernel part of the ALSA Sequencer, and am not sure where or how to report it. Summary: The events: * SND_SEQ_EVENT_CLIENT_CHANGE is never sent * SND_SEQ_EVENT_PORT_CHANGE is not sent on common port changes (name and port info) I have a lot of detail on these bugs, what other software causes them to be a problem (PureData), and where the missing code in the kernel sound/core/seq files is. Before I dump all the details in this forum.... where is the right place for me to report and/or discuss this? - Mark

No built-in microphone in Thinkpad X1 Carbon (Gen 12) after update to v1.2.13
by GitHub issues - opened 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #476 was opened from iyanmv: I think the title is self-explanatory. After updating from v1.2.12 to v1.2.13 in Arch Linux, the built-in microphone on my laptop is not working. Downgrading to previous versions fixes the issue. In addition, I also noticed that when attached to an external monitor using a docking station, the speakers of the monitor are not listed as before, and only the laptop's built-in speaker appears. I'm running linux 6.12.1 and KDE Plasma 6.2.3. Issue URL : https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/issues/476 Repository URL: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf
